Powder applications for resource recovery

Resource Recovery

Effective evaporation solutions to maximize ROI and reduce waste.

Our evaporation technology provides our clients with the ability to concentrate waste streams and recover solvents, vastly improving the value and efficiency of their process. Concentrated waste streams can be used as a new source of revenue and recovered solvents can be reused in processes to save you money.

Recover solvents from foul-prone waste products such as paints, inks, oils, and resins to minimize waste streams and increase ROI
Process foul-prone or foaming products
Maximize recovery by stripping volatiles to very low residual levels
Run at deep vacuums to distill high-boiling or temperature sensitive materials
Vacuum distillation of used oils for reuse / oil re-refining
Recover glycol for reuse
Dry catalysts to a free-flowing powder
Remove solvents from petroleum products such as bitumen
Recover of column bottoms by acting as reboiler for a distillation column
Recover organic products from tars and residues
Recover acid from process streams
Recover polymer in plastic-coated paper recycling
Recover catalysts from reaction residues

Thin Film Evaporators

Thin Film Evaporators

An LCI agitated thin film evaporator (TFE) or wiped film evaporator (WFE or "wiffe") provides short residence time and open, low pressure drop configuration, allowing continuous, reliable processing of many heat sensitive, viscous, or fouling materials without product degradation.

Short Path Evaporator

Short Path Evaporators

Short path evaporation is excellent for gently processing heat sensitive, high boiling products. Short path evaporation perfectly complements LCI's thin film evaporation technology program, allowing us even greater capability to provide the right solution for your separation problems.

LCI’s high viscosity processor

High Viscosity Processor

LCI’s high viscosity processor is ideal for various polymers, resins, highly viscous food products and many others because it provides higher heat and mass transfer rates for viscous fluids and reliability when compared to other types of evaporation equipment.

Indirect Contact Dryers

Thin Film Dryers

LCI Thin-Film Dryers concentrate slurries, suspensions, and solutions such as catalyst or salt solutions and crude glycerin with indirect heat transfer and mechanical agitation of the thin product film under both vacuum and positive pressure conditions.
