Distillation Chamber for Solvent Recovery

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Distillation Chamber

Definition

The distillation chamber is the core component of a solvent recovery module, designed to separate target solvents from industrial waste streams. It operates as a sealed vessel where solvent-laden mixtures are heated to vaporize the solvents. The resulting vapors are then condensed back into liquid form for collection and reuse, while residual materials remain in the chamber. The chamber operates under controlled temperature and pressure conditions to ensure efficient separation and recovery. It is available in materials such as Stainless Steel 316L, Glass Lined Steel, and Hastelloy C-276, each selected based on the chemical compatibility and process requirements. Key parameters include an operating pressure of 1.0–1.6 MPa, a design temperature range of -40 to 200°C (EN 13445), and a volume capacity of 100–5000 liters. Wall thickness ranges from 6–20 mm (ASME B16.5), and the leakage rate is ≤0.01 mbar·L/s (ISO 15848-1). Surface roughness is 0.4–0.8 μm Ra (ISO 4287). Electrical power is 3–15 kW (IEC 60034) with voltage options of 220–480 V AC (IEC 60038). Ingress protection is IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529). Weight ranges from 150–2000 kg, and footprint from 0.5–4.0 m². These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application. The chamber is designed for integration into solvent recovery systems, with interfaces for heating, cooling, and process control. Verification questions should address material compatibility, pressure and temperature ratings, and compliance with applicable standards. Maintenance signals include pressure drops, reduced recovery efficiency, or visible corrosion. Failure boundaries are defined by the material limits and design specifications; exceeding these can lead to loss of containment or structural failure.

Working Principle

The distillation chamber operates on the principle of fractional distillation, where components in a mixture vaporize at different temperatures. The chamber is heated to a specific temperature range where the target solvent(s) vaporize while other components remain in liquid or solid form. The solvent vapors are then directed to a condenser for liquefaction and collection, enabling recovery and purification of solvents from industrial process streams. The process is controlled by adjusting temperature and pressure to optimize separation efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are available for the distillation chamber?

The chamber can be made from Stainless Steel 316L, Glass Lined Steel, or Hastelloy C-276. The choice depends on the chemical compatibility with the solvents and process conditions. Verify the material grade with the manufacturer for your specific application.

What is the operating pressure range?

The operating pressure range is 1.0–1.6 MPa. Confirm the exact pressure rating for your model.

Can the chamber handle high temperatures?

The design temperature range is -40 to 200°C, per EN 13445. Exceeding 200°C reduces material strength. Ensure your process temperature stays within this range.

What is the leakage rate?

The leakage rate is ≤0.01 mbar·L/s, tested with helium per ISO 15848-1. This ensures a tight seal for safe operation.
