Equipment » Stripping

Strip volatile components from heat sensitive, viscous and foaming materials

Artisan’s stripping technology gives you the ability to remove volatile components from less volatile materials that are heat sensitive, viscous, foaming or contain solids. All of our stripping equipment offers the advantages of short residence time, minimal holdup volume and simplicity of operation.

Rototherm

Single-Stage Stripping

Strip volatiles from high-viscosity polymers, emulsions, products that foam and products containing solids

For these applications, Artisan recommends our Rototherm® E to strip volatiles from the product. Rototherm E can be equipped with sparge gas to increase the stripping efficiency and has the ability to operate at pressures as low as 1 mm Hg absolute with very little pressure drop.

Multi-Stage Stripping

Strip residual volatiles from products that foam and moderate–to–low viscosity liquids

For these applications, Artisan recommends our Evaporator/Stripper™ to strip volatiles down to low ppm or ppb levels. It has the ability to operate at pressures as low as 0.5 mm Hg absolute with very little pressure drop and to perform simultaneous heat and mass transfer, which enhances its stripping performance. It can also be equipped with sparge gas to further increase stripping efficiency. Evaporator/Stripper has the advantages of no-moving parts, short residence time and multi-stage stripping.

Column

Multi-stage stripping of volatiles from low viscosity liquids that foul or contain solids

For these applications, Artisan recommends our Dualflo® distillation trays to strip volatiles from the product. Their simple design offers the following advantages over more complicated tray designs:

  • Lower capital cost
  • Stays clean longer when processing fouling or solids-containing liquids
  • Less downtime for maintenance
  • Easy to install, remove, and clean
  • Efficiency equal to or higher than bubble cap or sieve trays with downcomers
