Attaquant Enterprises is a leading distillation column and distillation column internal manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in Hyderabad. Our distillation column and distillation column internals are specially used to separate the liquid mixtures into individual components at their respective boiling points. These columns are used to maximize contact between the vapor and liquid, improving efficiency and productivity in the distillation process.

These columns are made from top-quality materials, including stainless steel alloys such as 304 and 316, along with carbon steel. The outer shell is constructed from stainless steel and titanium, while the interior packing features ceramic, metal, and plastic components. These columns are used in a variety of applications, such as petroleum refining and water purification.

Detailed Procedure of Distillation in our distillation column and distillation column internals:

As former distillation and distillation column internals manufacturers and suppliers in Hyderabad, we have given below a key procedure about how the distillation process is done with smooth workflow:

  • Feed Preparation: The feed contains a mix of unwanted compounds, which are heated to promote partial vaporization. This heating step is essential for the process. After heating, the feed enters the column, where it is separated according to its base composition. Our state-of-the-art distillation column systems use advanced heat integration techniques, applying pinch analysis to capture and recycle heat from earlier stages for use in later processes, which helps conserve energy.
  • Entry into the column: The heated feed enters the column and is distributed across the trays based on its properties and the design of the separation process. Heavier components move downward, while lighter ones vaporize. The trays and packing create a larger surface area, allowing for efficient mass transfer and a steady workflow of the mixture. Our distillation columns feature high-performance internals with low-pressure-drop structured packing. To enhance separation efficiency, we optimize the feed using advanced analytical techniques within the columns.
  • Vapor-Liquid Contact and Mass Transfer: When the feed enters the column, the vapor phase, which is lighter and rises to the top, interacts with the liquid phase, which is denser and settles at the bottom. This interaction occurs on the trays and packing inside the column. The mixture of these phases facilitates mass transfer. The trays and packing retain the liquid while allowing the vapor to escape, creating openings and bubbles. The improved structure of the packing inside the column enhances the mixing process, helping to purify the liquid by reducing friction and improving mass transfer.
  • Condensation in the Overhead Condenser: As the vapor rises through the column and reaches the overhead condenser, it cools down, resulting in a liquid that contains highly pure lighter components. The attached collection drums gather the condensed vapor, while any leftover liquid is redirected back into the distillation process. Our innovative hybrid condensers serve dual purposes, operating as both air-cooled and water-cooled systems. This design helps minimize water usage and enhances overall energy efficiency.
  • Reboiling at the Bottom of the Column: Once the condensation process is complete, the remaining liquid is gathered in the column and reheated in the reboiler. The generated vapor is collected and sent back to the column to interact with the liquid flowing down from the trays. In the stripping section, the heavier components are separated from the liquid. Our distillation column is equipped with a high-quality heat-integrated reboiler that utilizes heat pump assistance and vapor recompression to enhance energy efficiency, allowing for the reuse of heat during the reboiling process.

Unique features and benefits of our distillation column and distillation column internals:

As a former distillation column systems suppliers and exporters in Hyderabad, these systems are built with precise engineering and equipped with new technological updates that give higher performance while working. Here we have listed down some list of features:

  • Energy Optimization: Our distillation columns are well-known for their energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. In large-scale operations, they effectively serve dual heating and cooling roles. By utilizing heat-pump distillation and thermally coupled columns, these systems can reduce energy consumption by 30–50%, as they recycle heat from earlier processes to preheat the reboiler.
  • Lower Pressure Drop: Our distillation column systems are designed to minimize pressure drops, which helps avoid common operational issues like flooding and vapor flow resistance. With low-pressure drop packing and enhanced tray designs, such as caged valve trays and high-capacity trays, we ensure better flow management and increased overall capacity.
  • Process Flexibility: Our distillation columns are built to handle a wide variety of pressures, flow rates, and temperatures, making them suitable for multiple industries. Recent advancements, including smart columns with advanced sensors and control systems, boost productivity by continuously monitoring operations and identifying potential issues before they arise.
  • High Separation Efficiency: Our systems offer dual functionality, allowing for space and cost savings through modern technologies like dividing wall columns (DWC). When dealing with different composites and liquids, our distillation trays and internal structures reduce thermal losses and remixing. These columns are especially effective in alcohol distillation, crude oil refining, and producing high-purity chemicals.
