Innovative Chemical Purification with SRXC-Series
The SRXC-Series represents the pinnacle of automated chemical distillation technology, catering to high-purity chemical purification needs across various industries.
This state-of-the-art system is expertly engineered to extract water, other chemicals, and contaminants from a range of chemicals, achieving impressively low parts per million (ppm) levels suitable for reuse.
Continuous Operation and High Efficiency
At the heart of the SRXC-Series is a meticulously designed fractionating column, incorporating a reflux stream that enables the separation of materials in a continuous operation.
This system maintains a consistent flow rate ranging from 25 to 5000 gallons per hour (gph), operating seamlessly 24 hours a day.
Intelligent Control and Safety Features
SRS Engineering has equipped the distillation/fractionation columns with a sophisticated programmable logic controller (PLC), securely housed within a NEMA 4X enclosure.
This PLC can also be remotely located in a customer’s control room for added convenience. It diligently monitors a network of relays and sensors, ensuring optimal liquid levels, flow rates, and temperatures, as well as the correct positioning of discharge valves before initiating the distillation cycle.
In the event of any fault condition, the system is designed to provide clear, actionable status messages on its touch screen control panel. This feature not only enhances operator safety but also simplifies the operational process.
The system is programmed to automatically shut down in case of any fault detection or upon completion of the cycle, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency.
Customization and High-Performance Components
To meet the diverse throughput demands of various applications, the SRXC-Series Columns are customizable with specific column fittings and fractionating packing. They are also equipped with high-efficiency heaters and heat exchangers.
These columns are versatile in their heating requirements, being compatible with hot oil, steam, and in certain cases, electric heaters.
Applications in Biodiesel Production and Beyond
The SRXC-Series Columns have found significant applications in SRSDE’s Biodiesel plants, among other industries.
Their ability to purify chemicals to an exceptionally high degree makes them an invaluable asset in biodiesel production and other sectors requiring precise chemical purification.
