Our expertise

  • Fractional distillation: Efficient separation of ethanol from aqueous or organic mixtures, with precise control of temperatures and pressures to maximize the purity of the finished product.
  • Energy optimization: Systematic integration of Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) to reduce energy consumption, limit CO₂ emissions, and improve the profitability of facilities.
  • Adaptability: Tailor-made solutions for all types of flows (effluents, by-products, diluted solutions, etc.), with dimensions adapted to the specific needs of each industrial site.
  • Robustness and safety: Units designed in compliance with ATEX standards and safety requirements, with a choice of materials suited to the nature of the products being processed.
