Hydraulic Wash Column

January 22, 2026 09:00 AM CET

Experience the future of bulk chemical purification with Hydraulic Wash Column technology.

Hydraulic Wash Columns use hydraulic pressure, instead of mechanical pistons, to transport crystal beds. This enables a significantly higher throughput—up to 25,000 kg of crystals per hour—making it ideal for demanding bulk chemical and monomer purification, including plastics precursors like para-xylene, acrylic acid, and phenol.

 

With key benefits like:

  • Superior Purity - Achieve product purities exceeding 99.9%, far outstripping conventional methods like centrifuges and filters.
  • High Efficiency - Lower energy consumption compared to traditional distillation, leveraging electricity for easier integration with renewable energy sources.
  • Minimal Maintenance - Fewer moving parts reduce downtime, making this technology the smart choice for large-scale, continuous operation.

Melt crystallization with wash column technology is already industrially validated, with over 40 installations and successful purification of more than 60 chemicals at pilot and industrial scale. This advancement now opens the door for bulk chemical producers to meet market demands for purity and sustainability—without compromise.

 

During this Webinar you will:

  • Understand how Hydraulic Wash Columns, paired with melt crystallization, deliver unmatched product purity and energy efficiency for industries scaling up to 100–1000 kta capacities.
  • Discover how Hydraulic Wash Columns can unlock new levels of productivity and purity for your plant operations and be part of the next milestone in chemical process technology.
  • Come in touch with real life application examples.
  • Get a chance to quiz our experts.

 

The Webinar lasts 25 minutes, followed by a live Q&A session.

We will be hosting this webinar on January 22nd at 09:00 CET
