Distillation or Liquid-Liquid Extraction, which is right for your process?

In many separations, distillation is the preferred method. However, in non-ideal or close-boiling mixtures often found in industrial wastestreams, liquid-liquid extraction can often provide a more efficient and practical solution.

Selecting the right method is critical to achieving reliable performance and optimizing process efficiency.

Our proven technology converts a costly waste challenge into a compliant, revenue-generating solution by removing up to 99% of dissolved ammonia from aqueous wastestreams and recovering it as a value-added product. It is well suited for neutral to acidic wastewaters that would otherwise require significant caustic addition (NaOH or KOH) for ammonia removal.

Need to meet evolving regulations quickly while minimizing operational downtime?

Modular construction reduces project schedules by 6-12 months. While your site is being prepared and permits are being processed, your system is already being built. Modules are constructed off-site, arriving substantially complete and ready to install, compressing schedules and reducing the cost and risk of field construction. You can operate with confidence knowing your system is backed by a process performance guarantee.

What works in the lab doesn’t always translate at scale.

Bringing a new technology to market requires more than proven chemistry. It requires real-time data analysis, pilot testing, and process engineering expertise to ensure reliable performance at commercial scale.

From concept to full-scale implementation, a structured approach to scale-up helps reduce uncertainty and improve outcomes.

What is a modular process system?

Instead of building entirely on-site, systems are fabricated and assembled off-site, then delivered ready for installation.

This approach:
✔Reduces CapEx
✔6–12-month schedule reduction
✔Cost certainty
✔Project predictability & risk mitigation
✔Simultaneous construction & permitting
✔Minimized site operations interruptions
✔Improved productivity
✔Minimized hazards & safety risks

Solvent recovery in pharmaceutical manufacturing presents unique challenges, especially when dealing with azeotropes and high-boiling impurities.

In this case, a client required recovery of alcohols from a complex mixed stream containing toluene, water, and proprietary compounds, creating both separation and fouling risks.

Koch Modular developed a custom solution using azeotropic distillation, supported by pilot testing to validate performance prior to full-scale design.

The result: a modular solvent recovery system that reduced disposal costs, improved process reliability, and met stringent regulatory requirements.
