Artisan Industries Inc
Distillation Unit
Product Description
Distillation:
Continuous distillation provides consistent product quality and yield:
The chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries each face unique product quality challenges when processing foaming, fouling, and solids-containing materials. These processes can be extremely difficult and cost-prohibitive using conventional distillation technologies.
Artisan offers continuous distillation solutions that are custom-tailored to your specific problem. Our engineers can help you improve your current distillation process or develop a new process for your most difficult-to-handle products. And our continuous distillation equipment delivers consistent product quality and yield.
Single Stage Distillation:
Artisan’s Rototherm® E evaporator is ideal for applications involving the separation of a light component from a relatively non-volatile or heavy component.
Multi-Stage Distillation:
Artisan’s Dualflo® Trays handle separations that require fractionation to obtain a pure overheads and bottoms stream.
Application: Purifying Glycols
Problem: Recovering ethylene or propylene glycol (used as antifreeze to disperse and remove ice forming on condensers or for deicing aircraft) that is contaminated with floating particles such as dust, salt, sand, etc.
Solution: Use Artisan Dualflo distillation trays.
For over forty years, companies have recovered high purity reusable glycol using these proprietary trays. The water vapor stream is glycol free (20 PPM or less) and safe for discharge to the atmosphere. Dualflo trays do not use down comers or overflow weirs and, therefore, stay clean and maintenaince free longer than conventional trays. more …
Artisan can also work with you to specify and design packed towers using low-pressure drop-structured packing.

Reboilers:
For distillation processes that involve the purification of heat sensitive, viscous or solids-containing products, Artisan recommends using Rototherm E evaporator in place of conventional reboilers to improve both yield and purity. Rototherm offers the advantages of simplicity of operation with extremely short residence time and minimal holdup volume. For more information on the use of Rototherm as a reboiler please refer to our Rototherm E evaporator page.
About Us:
For over 75 years the experienced chemical and mechanical engineers and the skilled manufacturing craftsmen of Artisan Industries have teamed to design processes and manufacture equipment to solve the most difficult technical problems in the chemical, petrochemical, food, pharmaceutical, waste reduction, energy and power industries.
The Separations Technologies group offers proprietary thin film processes and equipment to eliminate processing steps, reduce waste and increase profitability when evaporating, distilling, concentrating or drying heat sensitive, viscous or solids-containing materials. A custom-configured pilot plant facilitates the design of customized solutions for exceptionally challenging separations.
JET-VAC® supplies ejectors in many materials for generating vacuum from steam and other motive gases with no moving parts. Jet-Vac also offers equipment to chill water using steam including waste stream for chemical, petrochemical and power plant applications.
Custom Manufacturing and Product Development Services works with many local universities as well as start-up and established businesses in the extended New England area as a one stop source for prototyping, engineering, design development and manufacturing. Artisan specializes in pressure vessels, close tolerance machining of large components and specialty welding procedures.
With the recent addition of N and NPT certifications and an NQA-1 quality control program to its long held pressure vessel (U, U2 and R) certifications Nuclear Manufacturing now designs and manufactures equipment and components for the nuclear power industry and DOE facilities.
