Xanthan-gum alcohol recovery

Return alcohol to the xanthan-gum process at the required reuse quality. Variable solvent strength, entrained solids, fouling and residue handling shape the recovery train. Our Meihua and Zhongxuan projects include alcohol recovery and modifications to existing distillation systems.

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.
