In addition to liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and distillation, KMPS can
evaluate and test a number of other unit operations for separation
processes. In general these other unit operations are evaluated for
processes that include LLE or distillation steps as well. However, if
necessary KMPS will work with our clients for these operations on an
individual basis.
Some of the processes we can evaluate in our pilot plant are:
- Crystallization
- Heat Transfer Coefficient Studies
- Thin Film Evaporation (partnership with LCI Corporation)
- Absorption
- Coalescing
- Ion Exchange Beds
- Carbon Adsorption
- Filtration

KMPS LLE columns have also been applied to a number of unique
applications that can be tested in our pilot plant. |
|
Single Stage Mixer/Settler |
 Both the Karr and Scheibel Columns can be used as co-current,
mixer/settlers. The typical mixer/settle used industrially will only
generate up to 85% of a theoretical stages due to backmixing
inefficiency. However, operating in plug-flow mode, the co-current
Karr or Scheibel Column can achieve essentially 100% of a
theoretical stage at extremely high capacity.

|
Slurry Processing |
 KMPS has demonstrated that the Karr Column can effectively handle
slurries with up to 50% solid’s concentration. The perforated plates
with 55-60% open area allow solids to flow through without
accumulating. Slurry feed must be such that the solids will “sink”
through the up-flowing solvent and accumulate in the bottom chamber
of the column. The agitation provides the means for maximizing
solid-to-liquid mass transfer. |
