Inorganic chemistry
Chemistry: concentration, separation, and recovery of industrial flows
Thermal technologies tailored to the requirements of the chemical industry.
FE supports chemical manufacturers in the treatment, separation, and purification of complex solutions by designing customized units based on robust and high-performance thermal technologies.
Typical applications in chemistry
- Concentration of chemical solutions
- Vacuum evaporation: or multiple-effect or MVR evaporation to reduce volumes and increase the active ingredient content.
- Separation of complex mixtures
Fractional distillation to isolate volatile components or recover solvents
- Crystallization of salts and chemical compounds
Precise control of thermal conditions for efficient and selective crystallization
- Treatment of valuable by-products or effluents
- Waste reduction and recovery of secondary flows.
Proposed technologies
Energy optimization and adaptation to the physical and chemical constraints of products
Ideal for sensitive or viscous products with short residence times.
Forced circulation evaporators
Ideal for dirty products
Designed for the fine separation of volatile components, with or without MVR integration.
Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR)
Reduced energy consumption, improved overall efficiency.
