Pulsed Columns
ANTICO PulseCol™ is designed for liquid-liquid extraction using pulsation to enhance phase contact.
The working principle involves periodic pulsation that improves mixing and mass transfer. The system includes a column, pulsation mechanism, packing or trays, and control system. It is used for efficient separation of immiscible liquids. The pulsation reduces back-mixing and improves efficiency. It is suitable for handling large volumes continuously. The system provides high separation performance with lower energy input. It is used in nuclear reprocessing and chemical industries. It ensures stable and controlled operation. ANTICO PulseCol™ offers advanced extraction efficiency.
