Alcohol & solvent recovery

Recover alcohol from production streams in xanthan gum, pharmaceutical and food-processing applications. CNE’s references cover new recovery units and energy-saving modifications.

01 / CNE

Characterize the recovered stream

A recovery design begins with solvent composition, feed variability, suspended material and the required reuse quality. The specification must address impurities as well as alcohol concentration. Define where the recovered product returns to production and how residue, condensate and off-specification material will be managed.

References across different industries

Our projects include xanthan-gum alcohol recovery work for Zibo Zhongxuan, Ordos Zhongxuan and Meihua; extraction-workshop rectification for Ya’an Sanjiu; a 6 m³/h alcohol recovery upgrade for Guangdong Kaiwen; and a 25 m³/day recovery system for Kaiping Qianniu. These capacities describe different feed and duty bases and should be compared accordingly.

Meihua · Xanthan-gum alcohol recoveryAlcohol separation systems within xanthan-gum production.237 Representative projectsOur teams have undertaken or participated in more than 300 plant and upgrade projects, with over 60% share in China’s ethanol production-system market. Our work reaches ASEAN, Europe, Africa and the Americas. We bring process engineering and equipment manufacture together with practical site coordination and operator training.Multi-effect distillationSeparate impurities with purpose. Reuse heat across pressure levels. Select the column arrangement for the product mix and the real feed composition.Distillery upgrades & energy optimizationCNE’s reference register contains repeated upgrades to distillation, dehydration, liquefaction and evaporation systems. Start with the bottleneck and define a measurable improvement.
