Chemicals, Pharmceuticals and Biotechnology
Mechanical separation processes find application in a large number of processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology. The quality of the separation process is frequently of crucial importance for the quality of the end products as well as for the economy and environmental compatibility of the process.
Successful solutions from the Westfalia Separator product line find application for a wide range of product applications for centrifugal technology both in organic and inorganic chemistry, such as:
|
|
In petrochemistry and plastic production, for example:
|
For base substances such as:
|
In the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology for the recovery and processing of:
|
