Custom XXL industrial distillation columns
Extreme capacities and requirements, proven know-how.
ZIEMEX has been designing and building very large columns for over 60 years to meet the most demanding industrial requirements.
Our columns can be up to 36m long, with 5.5m diameter and weigh 150 tonnes, all in a single piece.
That performance level makes it possible to meet the requirements of large-scale distillation processes in industries such as biotechnology, chemicals, green chemicals, distilleries and ingredient manufacturing.
UNIQUE EXPERTISE
in the management of XXL projects
The making of a column calls for full control over all constraints:
- Mechanical sizing (pressure, temperature, resistance to climatic conditions)
- Tailored Separation Solutions to Meet Your Exact Specifications
- Corrosion resistance with expertise in the implementation of all existing materials (stainless steel, duplex, nickel, titanium, zirconium, Hastelloy)
- Integration of all functional components (anchor baskets, internals, instrumentation, safety, condensers and reboilers, insulation, walkways, ladders, etc.)
- Strict compliance with PED 2014/68/EU, ATEX, GMP, and ASME standards.
For such projects, ZIEMEX mobilises its expert teams in engineering, metallurgy, processes and its integrated manufacturing factory.
CUSTOM PROJECTS
to boost your performance
Our designs are always directly based on the particularities of your processes. ZIEMEX agrees to deliver reliable and safe equipment that is ready for use, and incorporated into the other elements of your unit (skid, regulation loop, automation, etc.).
EFFICIENT LOGISTICS
from end to end
Columns are carried by inland waterway or by special transport convoys from our production facility.
ZIEMEX handles all the logistics, including itinerary studies, transport permissions and coordination with the customer site.
Each stage is anticipated to guarantee installation with no break in the chain.
