Packed Tray Columns
ANTICO ExtractCol™ is designed for continuous liquid-liquid extraction using packed or tray columns.
The working principle involves counter-current contact between two immiscible phases to enhance mass transfer. The system includes a vertical column, packing or trays, distributors, and collectors. It is used for large-scale extraction and separation processes. The design ensures high interfacial area for efficient mass transfer. It supports continuous operation with steady performance. The system allows optimization of flow rates and phase ratios. It is suitable for high-throughput industrial applications. It is widely used in petrochemical, chemical, and solvent extraction industries. ANTICO ExtractCol™ delivers efficient and continuous extraction performance.
