Maratek’s Fractional Distillation

Maratek’s fractional distillation systems deliver fully automated, high-purity solvent recovery for battery manufacturing, achieving 99%+ purity for solvents like NMP, Ethanol, and Acetone. Here’s how they work:

Continuous Processing: Automatically processes feed, collecting solvent-rich distillate (top) and removing solvent-lean waste (bottom).
Vapor-Liquid Separation: Trays or packing in the column enable vapor-liquid equilibrium, separating solvents based on boiling points.
Enhanced Purity: Boil-up and reflux streams recirculate vapor and liquid to maximize solvent purity and process efficiency.
Custom Integration: Designed as stand-alone units or paired with Maratek’s Continuous Solvent Recycling Systems for seamless operation.

Equipped with state-of-the-art digital controls, our systems ensure reliable monitoring, operator safety, and regulatory compliance, while reducing costs by up to 95%.
