Enhanced Distillation - Dividing Wall Columns Save CAPEX & OPEX by 20-50%
Since the mid 1940s, Dividing Wall Column (DWC) technology has provided a way to reinvent age-old distillation methods. With latest advances in process simulators and design methods, DWC Prime have emerged as a viable technology over the course of the previous two decades.
Dividing wall columns offer the benefits of lower capital investment along with lower operational cost. This has helped DWC’s gain in popularity over their conventional counterparts. At DWC Innovations, our motto is to help our Client’s actualize their full potential by reaping the benefits of DWC technology, be it as a stand-alone column or as part of a bigger complex project. For this purpose, we have developed our highly adaptable DWC Prime technology.
DWC Prime is equipped with single or multiple walls in a single column shell. When applied to sequential multi-component separation, DWC prime can separate the feed into three or more high purity streams within a single tower thus eliminating the need for second column. We have been integrating DWC Prime in existing refining technologies, thereby reducing the operating cost for our clients.
We aim to deliver enhanced distillation techniques in the best possible way thus developing strong personnel relationships with our customers. The team at DWC innovations have commercialized more than 25 dividing wall columns throughout the world.
Benefits of Dividing Wall Column
Suitable for separating multicomponent mixture into three or more high purity product streams in a single column.
Ideal alternative for revamp of side cut columns when high purity is required from the three product streams.
Our dual dividing wall columns combines three or more columns into one. Lower foot print as equipment count is reduced by half.
Equipment turnaround time and other miscellaneous expenditure are reduced.
The operational and capital expenditure are reduced by approximately 20-50%.
Why DWC Prime ?
DWC Prime offers a complete Package from project feasibility to installation
Starting from critical evaluation of the process requirements to the complete process design optimized as per the customer’s requirement is done for reliable and smooth operation.
Robust Control Scheme
DWC Prime is backed by a robust control scheme. The control schemes are derived from extensive dynamic simulation models. Depending on the complexity of the application the control schemes can be conventional or based on advanced process control.
Local Manufacturing of Internals
Local manufacturing of internals ensure shorter delivery schedules and better project economics.
Energy Optimization
DWC Prime team has extensive background in energy optimization. Many of our DWC’s are integrated with other process units resulting in lower utilities.
Complete project management
Team DWC is equipped and is highly capable to handle complete detailed engineering , manage site and complete procurement process to the best of customer satisfaction.
