Falling Film Evaporators

Solvent recovery is required at some stage in virtually every extraction process. Facilities should have a solvent recovery solution on site if they are performing:

  • Primary Extraction
  • Pesticide Extraction
  • Color Remediation
  • Winterization
  • Chromatography

Our falling film evaporator series provides efficient and effective solvent separation and recovery that can be easily integrated into any lab set up.

Why Ethanol Extraction?

While each commonly used extraction method has its advantages, ethanol extraction has become one of the most popular methods for new facilities.

Throughput

Due to the relative ease of handling, ethanol-based processes can be readily scaled to give a higher throughput. More volatile or higher pressure extraction methods are often limited in the size of extraction vessels that can be safely used. Ethanol does not have the same limitations, meaning that larger and faster extraction vessels can be used.

Cost

Using ethanol as the primary extraction solvent as opposed to a more volatile substance like butane provides savings in a number of ways. An ethanol extraction system can be scaled up by simply buying a larger extraction vessel. Extraction systems using other solvents often have limits on the size of the extraction vessel, and can only be scaled up by buying multiples of the same machine, which is obviously more expensive. Facility owners will also save on infrastructure, as the hazardous location requirements surrounding ethanol are typically less strict than butane or similar solvents.

Safety

Ethanol does not present the same risk to operators or consumers as other extraction solvents like butane. This means operators can feel confident in working with ethanol without the need for added safety measures. Also, the relatively low volatility and high boiling point of ethanol means that it can be stored and used in regular vessels, and is not typically subject to pressure vessel regulations.
