December 2015 - In November 2015, Escher completed another overhaul of one of their Rotating Disk Contactors, which was delivered 25 years ago. Although the Rotating Disk Contactor is operating in a dirty environment, the design of this process vessel makes it a very reliable piece of equipment for liquid-liquid extraction in the process industry.
The RDC has proven its value as a flexible extractor for high throughputs in both small and large-scale operations. It can be used for liquid-liquid and liquid-solid contacting for extraction, washing or chemical reaction. The RDC is a vessel with internal rotating discs to maintain a dispersion of two phases that are fed counter current.
