MONOSTAGE LIQUID/LIQUID CENTRIFUGAL CONTACTORS MODEL BXP FOR SOLVENT EXTRACTION OR LIQUID / LIQUID SEPARATION TYPES OF APPLICATIONS: > PHARMACEUTICALS: Purification of active principles (e.g. Antibiotics) > CHEMICALS: Washing (example: polymers) or Extraction (e.g. Acetic acid) “+ FOOD INDUSTRY: Purification of food components (e.g. Lactic and Citric acids) > HYDROMETALLURGY: Separation or purification (e.g. Precious metals) > VARIOUS INDUSTRIES: PERFUMES, AROMAS, ESSENTIAL OILS, COMMON FEATURES OF ROUSSELET ROBATEL CENTRIFUGAL EXTRACTORS AND SEPARATORS: + Direct motor coupling to the main shaft, No bar in process area > Unique alymer construction for corrosive applications, + Optional CIP systems for cGMP applications + Optional pharmaceutical grade polishing + Centrifuges perfectly adapted to both batch and continuous operations, + Short retention time and low liquid hold-up, + Efficient phase separation utilzing centrifugal force + Various agitator designs to accammadate a wide range af solvent systems + Low moe turbines for shear sensitive applications, + Unattended operation. + High throughputs achieved in compact unit + High extraction efficiency due to thorough mixing + Fach extractor neatly corresponds to a theoretical extraction stage. + Rapid operational equiarum + internal recycling of heavy or ight liquid phase. + Can serve as liquidliquid separator and/or liquidliquid extractor + Possibility 1o connect several BXP in series (no interstage pumps required) to achiave the requited number of stages,EXTRACTION CONFIGURATION Cera — 2 stage battery for counter-current extraction OPERATING PRINCIPLE: When operating asa centrifugal extractor for performing iquid/iquid extractions, a feed solution, containing one or more solutes (shown in yellow), and an immiscible solent (shown in blue) with a different density than that of the feed solution are fed to the mixing chamber located on the battom of the centrifuge housing ‘rotating agitator disc mixes the two immiscible iquidsinto a disper- sion (shown in green). Different agitator disc designs can be used ‘depending upon the liquids’ interfacial tension. The efficient mixing creates @ large interfacial area between the two liquids 10 ensure maximum mass transfer of the solutes, The dispersion is aspirated into the centrifuge bow! by a turbine loca- ted on the bottom of the rotating bow! The liquids ae separated by the centrifugal force generated by the rotating bowl. The heavier liquid (shown in yelow) occupies the outer portion of the bowl. The light liquid (shown in blue) occupies the inner portion ofthe bow: The position ofthe liquidiquid interphase is regulated by a heavy phase weir Interchangeable heavy phase weirs of different dis- meters accommodate a wide range of density ratios. The heavy phase underflaws toa static receiving chamber The light phase ‘overflows to a separate static receiving chamber s ‘The liquids are discharged by gravity to the next BXP centrifugal ‘extractor oF to downstream equipment. For multi-stage extraction processes, BXP centrifugal extractors can be installed in series to pro- vide the required number of stages. No interstage pumps are requi- red between the extractors. The external interstage piping allows liquids tobe fed into oF routed ‘out of the extraction process (main extraction, scrubbing, back extrac- ‘uon) as required for optimum flexibility,SEPARATION CONFIGURATION OPERATING PRINCIPLE: ible liquids (shown in green) with different densities is fed to the pumping ‘chamber located on the bottom of the centrifuge housing “The liquictiquid mbcure is aspirated into the centrifuge bowl by a pumping turbine located on the bottom of the rotating bow.
