Stock # 14191137

Used Ethanol Recovery Skid / Distillation system, designed by Process Plus, is capable of processing 5,994 lb/h (718 gal/h) of ethanol-containing wastewater and producing 4,566 lb/h (692 gal/h) of ethanol, achieving a 76% recovery rate. The system includes a Steam Stripper Column (S-426-804) with packing, a Feed Economizer (HX404-804), a Bottoms Cooler (HX408-804), a Reboiler (HX-405-804), and an Overhead Condenser (HX-406-804). Wastewater containing ethanol, water, methanol, and trace solids is fed into the Steam Stripper Column (CL-108), a Hastelloy C-276 unit manufactured by Hebeler, rated for 34FV at 300F, and measuring approximately 44 feet in height and 2.5 feet in diameter (National Board #110, Serial #A148, built 1994). Ethanol is separated from the feed through a reboiler loop that circulates column bottoms via a pump. Solids are removed through a small purge stream, which is cooled to 115F using 85F cooling water in the Bottoms Cooler before being discharged. The ethanol-rich overhead vapor is condensed and cooled to 140F in the Overhead Condenser and flows by gravity to a Reflux Drum. From there, it is either returned to the column as reflux or sent out as product. When the Heat Recovery Condenser is in service, vapors are partially condensed there before final condensation and subcooling in the Column Condenser. The resulting ethanol product contains less than 0.1 wt% water, while the purge stream contains less than 1 wt% ethanol. The systems Hastelloy construction also allows for use in other solvent recovery applications requiring corrosion-resistant materials.
