Engineering Experience in Distillation, Extraction & Steam Stripping
Below is a partial list of compounds that Koch Modular Engineers have experience with:
Acetate Esters
Acetate esters have the general formula CH3CO2R, where R is an organyl group. Derived from and organic acid in which one (-OH) hydroxl group is replaced by the (-O-alkyl) alkoxy group. Typical solvent recovery application.
Amyl Acetate
Butyl Acetate
Ethyl Acetate
Methyl Acetate
Propyl Acetate
Alcohols
Organic compounds containing the hydroxyl group (–OH) bound to carbon. Typical solvent recovery application.
Amyl Alcohol
Butanol
Ethanol
Ethoxy Alcohol
Hexanol & Higher Linear Paraffin
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)
Methanol
