SOLVOSEP
Pervaporation:Dehydrating Solvents and Separating Mixtures
SOLVOSEP represents a cutting-edge technology designed for advanced azeotrope dehydration and solvent recovery. This innovative pervaporation technology offers a highly efficient and economical alternative to traditional methods of separating solvent mixtures and breaking azeotropes.
Traditional methods for azeotrope dehydration are often energy-intensive and depend on secondary entrainers. SOLVOSEP technology provides a superior solution by using advanced pervaporation techniques based on diffusivity and selectivity to achieve effective solvent separation and recovery.
