Chemical & Process
We offer a broad range of vacuum products to meet the challenges of today’s chemical and process industries. Proudly partnering with the vacuum pump manufacturers Edwards, Thomas and Welch who focus on technological advancements in vacuum while investing in R&D which enables them to develop the innovative products that meet your specific application requirements.
Common Applications for Chemical & Process
Distillation
A technique used to gently separate compounds from a liquid by lowering their boiling point with the help of vacuum.
Specialty and Fine Chemicals
Vacuum pumps with a rugged design, non- contacting dry mechanism. Able to handle organic solvents and compounds in a safe, reliable way with a reduction of both environmental pollution and cost of ownership.
Pharmaceuticals
Advanced taperer screw technology for the pharmaceutical sector, typically covering the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Petrochemicals
Safe pumping of hazardous inflammable material for industries that require zero-contamination vacuum environments including aromatics extraction and production of BTX, (benzene, toluene, xylene), LAB, (liner alkyl benzene), styrene, polymer, adhesives and MMA (Methyl MethAcrylate).
Lithium - Ion Batteries
Lithium – Ion batteries are driving the world’s green agenda and high quality reliable vacuum is a critical element in their production.
Transformer Oil Treatment
During transformer operation, voltage, time and heating cause this oil to degrade and lose its properties. The purpose of oil treatment is to remove solid particles in the oil and reduce the amount of water in the oil.
Flammable and Corrosive Gases
Leading vacuum pumps and pumping systems for safe pumping of hazardous inflammable material.
Degassing
Substances that oxidize when exposed to air are typically kept under vacuum in a desiccator to reduce the reaction rate. Vacuum desiccators are used for removing moisture from samples, maintaining a dust- and moisture-free environment, vacuum testing, de-foaming, and storing samples under various atmospheric conditions.
Dewatering and Filtration
Vacuum filtration is used to separate a solid product from a liquid mixture or solvent. Vacuum dewatering is widely used in dewatering of pulverized coal, mineral powder, pulp, alkali, dyes, rubber and cement.
Polymers, Plastics Production and Recycling
Vacuum pumps are widely applied in processing plastics, mainly to extract gases and vapour and operate at lower processing temperatures to manufacture high quality products.
Solar Crystal Pulling
A complete range of dry vacuum pumps, turbomolecular pumps (TMPs) and exhaust management systems for photovoltaic manufacturers.
Biofuels
Reliable, durable and efficient vacuum pumps play an important role in biofuel production.
Drying, Evaporation, Crystallization, Concentration
Fine chemicals production demands the highest purity, achieved through drying, distillation and crystallization. Advanced vacuum technology will help you to meet your purity targets, with high efficiency and total reliability.
Gas Recovery
The process of oil and gas recovery (collection, desorption and recovery) is often equipped with a vacuum system. It can reduce oil and gas pollution and potential safety hazards, and can reduce oil consumption and increase efficiency.
Solvent Recovery
Solvent recovery systems use the process of distillation, which separates volatile and nonvolatile solutions in a solvent. By lowering their boiling point with the help of vacuum the vapors are condensed back into liquid in a separate tank.
