What problems can an alcohol recovery tower solve

Alcohol recovery tower is a specialized equipment used for recovering alcohol, widely used in various industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage. It can mainly solve the following problems:
1. Resource recycling and utilization issues
Alcohol recycling: In many production processes, alcohol participates as a solvent or reaction medium and mixes with other substances after use. The alcohol recovery tower can separate the alcohol in these mixed liquids through distillation and other principles, improve their purity, and meet the standard of being reusable, achieving the recycling of alcohol and effectively saving resources.
Reduce production costs: Taking the pharmaceutical industry as an example, a large amount of alcohol is often required for extraction, dissolution, and other processes in drug production. If recycling is not carried out, companies need to constantly purchase new alcohol, which incurs high costs. Recovering alcohol through an alcohol recovery tower can significantly reduce the amount of alcohol purchased, thereby lowering production costs and improving the economic efficiency of the enterprise.
2. Environmental protection issues
Reduce pollutant emissions: If wastewater containing alcohol is directly discharged, it will not only cause water pollution, but also lead to an increase in biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the water, disrupting ecological balance. The alcohol recovery tower can recover alcohol from wastewater, reducing the pollutant content in the discharged wastewater and alleviating the pollution pressure on the environment, which is beneficial for environmental protection.
Compliance with environmental regulations: With increasingly strict environmental requirements, enterprises need to treat production wastewater to meet discharge standards. The alcohol recovery tower, as an important part of wastewater treatment, helps companies meet environmental regulations and avoid risks such as fines and production shutdowns due to illegal discharge.
3. Product quality and production efficiency issues
Ensuring product quality stability: In some production processes that require high alcohol purity, the recovered alcohol can be treated in an alcohol recovery tower to control its purity and provide stable alcohol that meets quality requirements for production, thereby ensuring the stability of product quality. For example, in the production of cosmetics, alcohol with stable purity helps ensure consistent performance and quality of the product.
Improving production continuity: Timely recycling and reuse of alcohol can avoid production interruptions caused by insufficient alcohol supply. In large-scale continuous production, the alcohol recovery tower can closely cooperate with the production process, continuously provide recycled alcohol, ensure production continuity, and improve production efficiency.
4. Energy utilization issues
Waste heat recovery and utilization: During the operation of the alcohol recovery tower, distillation and other operations will generate a certain amount of waste heat. Through reasonable design and technological means, these waste heat can be recovered and utilized, such as for preheating raw material liquids or other heating processes, improving energy utilization efficiency and reducing energy consumption and operating costs for enterprises.
Optimizing energy structure: Using alcohol recovery towers to recover alcohol reduces the demand for new alcohol production and indirectly reduces the energy consumption for producing new alcohol, which helps enterprises optimize their energy structure and achieve energy-saving and emission reduction goals.
