- Direct CO2 emissions reduced between 50% up to 100%
- Minimum steam and cooling water required for continuous operations
- Significant OPEX reduction leading to short ROI
- 5 to 20 times less electricity required compared to making use of an electric reboiler
- Reduced CAPEX for steam boilers and cooling towers, for greenfield projects and capacity expansion
Sulzer VoltaSplit™ our technology for electrified distillation
Reduced energy consumption and CO2 footprint of distillation units.
Distillation columns are among the largest consumers of steam in a chemical plant, this steam is typically produced burning fossil fuels in steam boilers, which accounts for high operating expenditures and significant CO2 emissions. Chemical, biofuels, pharmaceutical and many other industries are actively seeking ways to consume less energy as well as to reduce their carbon dioxide footprint. Distillation units emerge as a great opportunity to achieve this goal.
- State-of-the art distillation system combined with an ideal energy saving solution
- Energy saving solution thanks to re-compression of overhead vapors
- Optimized control system that integrates the vapor re-compression unit and the distillation unit operation
- Proven and reliable technology across the industries
- Process performance guarantee provided
- Modular solution available
Applications
- VoltaSplit™ technology can be applied to several applications in different industries
- Distillation of solvents
- Recovery light boilers (alcohols, esters, others)
- Water removal
- Product purification where main product is distilled
