Attaquant Enterprises is a leading distillation column and distillation column internal manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in Pune. 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 with high-quality stainless steel alloys 304 and 316 and carbon steel also. The column shell is made of stainless steel and titanium, and the column packing is made with ceramic metal and plastic. Due to this overall manufacturing excellence and advanced technologies, these are used in multiple applications, such as petroleum refinery and water purification industries.

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

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

  • Feed Preparation: The feed contains multiple amounts of unwanted compounds and mixtures that are heated, resulting in partial vaporization. This is the first and most important process. The heated feed is sent towards the column and specific trays, differentiated as per their base composition. We have used advanced heat integration systems in our modern distillation column systems, designed with pinch analysis, consuming heat from previous operations and reusing it for upcoming operations for energy savings.
  • Entry into the Column: The heated feed enters the column and is distributed into the trays based on their properties, design, and separation process. As per the volume of each mixture, the heavier component goes downwards while the lighter one gets vaporized. The trays and packing provide larger surface areas and efficient mass transfer for the constant workflow of the mixture. Our distillation columns are designed with high-performance internals and have low-pressure-drop structured packing. To improve separation efficiency, the feed optimization is done through AI (artificial intelligence) in our column internals.
  • Vapor-Liquid Contact and Mass Transfer: When the feed enters the column, the vapor phase, which has a lower density, rises to the upper side, while the liquid phase, having a higher gravity, descends. These phases come into contact with the trays and packing, forming a mass transfer. The trays and packing help retain the liquid while allowing vapor to escape, creating bubbles. The enhanced structural packing in the internal columns facilitates the mixing of liquid into pure form, reducing friction and improving mass transfer.
  • Condensation in the Overhead Condenser: As vapor rises into the column and reaches the overhead condenser, it is cooled, producing highly pure liquid compounds that contain lighter components. Attached relax drums collect the condensed vapor, while the remaining portion of the liquid is sent back towards the distillation process. Our new technological hybrid condensers have dual functionalities, such as air-cooled and water-cooled, which reduce water usage and improve overall energy efficiency.
  • Reboiling at the Bottom of the Column: After the condensation process, the remaining liquid is collected in the column and reheated in the reboiler. The generated vapor is sent back to the column to interact with the liquid descending from the trays. In the stripping section, the heavy component is stripped back from the liquid. We have attached a high-quality heat-integrated reboiler in our distillation column internals, utilizing heat pump-assisted vapor recompression to improve energy efficiency and reuse for reboiling.

Technical Specifications :

We have included below a technical table sheet which gives you detailed information about each procedure of our distillation trays & column internals:

Process Description Key Components/Internals Temperature Pressure Flow Rate
Feed Preparation Preconditioning of the feed to ensure it enters the column at appropriate thermodynamic conditions. Heat Exchanger, Feed Preheater, Flash Drum Feed temperature: 100°C - 180°C Moderate (1-3 bar) Feed rate: 100 - 500 m³/h
Entry into the Column The feed enters at a specific tray or section based on its volatility. Feed Inlet Nozzle, Distributor Plate, Feed Pipes Slightly below feed temperature Entry pressure: 1.5 - 3 bar Entry flow: 100 - 500 m³/h

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

As a former distillation column systems suppliers and exporters in Pune, 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:

  • High Separation Efficiency: Thanks to new technological updates such as dividing wall columns (DWC), these columns operate as a dual combination, saving space and cost. While mixing various composites and liquids, our distillation trays and column internals minimize thermal loss and remixing. These columns are highly applicable in alcohol distillation, refining crude oil, and producing high-purity chemicals.
  • Energy Optimization: Our distillation columns and internals are recognized for their energy savings and cost efficiency. In large-scale applications, these systems serve heating and cooling functions. The advancement of heat-pump distillation and thermally coupled distillation columns can reduce energy consumption by up to 30–50% by pre-heating the reboiler with energy from previous operations and reusing it.
  • Process Flexibility: Our distillation columns are versatile, capable of handling various pressure rates, flow rates, and temperatures. Due to their multiple features, they are widely applicable across various industries. New advancements, such as smart distillation columns equipped with advanced sensors and control systems, enhance productivity by constantly monitoring the process and identifying errors before they impact the machine.
  • Lower Pressure Drop: Our distillation column system features lower pressure drops, mitigating operational issues such as flooding and resisting vapor flows. These columns are designed with low-pressure drop packing and enhanced tray designs, such as caged valve trays and high-capacity trays, which reduce pressure drops and increase the system's overall workflow capacity.
