Volatiles separator and concentrator

摘要: An apparatus and method for stripping volatiles from a feed stream concentrating the in overhead vapors forming condensate product simultaneously producing low percent outlet as concentrate product. The separator concentrator, ("VSC"), unit has many applications reduction concentration of voiatiles beverage, fuel, industrial alcohol industries, well chemical removing or heat sensitive substrates which require temperatures short residence time to prevent degradation For applications, VSC utilizes preheat contact combination with turbulent high velocity flow separate volatile nonvolatile components at below 100° F. utilizing flash vaporization separation reboil capability adjust residue application vacuum range 27" 28.5" Hg further enhances by allowing lower processing reduced time. pressures are energy efficient serve minimize non-heat sensitized product/residue. Because design equipment utilized unit, plurality modular units can be connected series providing system having compact dimensions atmospheric operations. Combining multiple columns principals provides means fractional selective distillation.
