Mass Transfer and Distillation Engineering Blog

ADIPEC 2026 Abu Dhabi runs from 2 to 5 November 2026 and brings Gulf oil and gas buyers face to face with the suppliers behind their separators and columns.

S-Cube Mass Transfer Pvt. Ltd. is a trusted engineering and manufacturing company in India, offering high-quality industrial pressure vessels and process equipment for chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, API, agrochemical, biofuel, food processing, and specialty chemical industries.

Chemical and pharmaceutical industries routinely measure COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and BOD values in effluents. COD represents the amount of oxygen required to completely oxidize organic solvents into CO₂ and H₂O.

Facilities like processing plants, offshore drilling locations, and refineries perform chemical separation functions called mass transfer functions. In these functions, liquids like gasoline and water are purified to get rid of contaminants. This procedure takes fruition by pumping liquids into the scrubber column, where the liquid is segregated from pollutants and particulates.

Ring packing is a common technique employed in processing plants, wastewater treatment amenities, refineries, and offshore drilling functionalities for segregating contaminants from gas and other liquids. It involves rings being dumped inside the separation columns increasing the surface region for liquid and vapor contact, enabling quick and efficient chemical separation.

A separator is a mechanical device for the removal and accumulation of liquids of different specific gravities from natural gas.

With abundant research and many evolutions, biodiesel has come a long way. It continues to prove its worth as a biodegradable, renewable, and sustainable form of fuel. Fundamentally, biodiesel is manufactured from animal fats, vegetable oils, etc. But how do you prepare biodiesel? Of course, it is through a biodiesel plant. But what are the various techniques that biodiesel manufacturers use? Let’s look at a few in this blog.

Wet scrubbers help abate chemical emissions from process equipment. But in many cases, the scrubbers don’t perform as expected or optimally. Inefficient or sub-optimal performance could be the result of many factors. Let’s look at some essential factors that could impact the performance of web scrubbers.

This article deals with a few essential factors about distillation equipment. But at the outset, let’s look at what distillation is. Distillation refers to the process of separating components or substances from a liquid mixture. In other words, it is the process of selective boiling and resultant condensation of a component in a liquid mixture.
