Welcome to Attomo, the industry-leading manufacturer and turnkey supplier of cutting-edge distillation solutions. We take immense pride in offering not only exceptional distillation plants but also comprehensive facilitation of designing and engineering consultation to meet all your specific needs.
Attomo Industries manufactured and supplied Ethyl Acetate Plants have been met with great appreciation from our clients. At this facility, acetic acid and ethyl alcohol are mixed in the correct amounts and preheated before being sent to a kettle reboiler for distillation. The strength of this plant allows it to operate efficiently at even the highest speeds. These plants are utilized in the cosmetic, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors for the processing and storage of different products. Moreover, these plants and machines are custom-made to different technical specifications to meet the varying needs of our clients. Ethyl Acetate is an organic chemical that has a pleasant aroma and is transparent and relatively non-toxic.
Manufacture of Ethyl – Acetate
Ethyl acetate is a product of esterification reaction between ethyl alcohol and acetic acid.
The reaction can be represented by
CH2CH2OH + CH3COOH—- > CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
Acetic acid and ethyl alcohol are sent in a fixed proportion through a preheater to a kettle reboiler. Small amount of catalyst is added into the kettle. The reaction products are carried to the top of the column as an azeotrope, condensed and pass to a decanter. The top over flow from the decanter is partly given as reflux.The remaining part of the top over flow along with bottom of the decanter is sent to a mixer. The mixer also receives top product of the recovery column and also partly the top product of E.A.Column. The contents of the mixer after thorough stirring are sent to a settler. Top over flow from the settler is sent to E.A. Column. The product E.A. is drawn from the bottom. The top product of the E.A. Column is sent partly to mixer as stated above. Bottom flow of the settler is sent to recovery column whose bottoms are sent to drain. The top product after meeting reflux requirements is sent to mixer
Frequently asked question about Ethyl Acetate Plant
Yes, the industrial production of ethyl acetate involves the esterification of acetic acid and ethyl alcohol. At an Attomo facility, these raw materials are preheated and sent to a kettle reboiler for distillation. The reaction products form an azeotrope, which is then processed through a decanter and an E.A. Column to extract high-purity ethyl acetate.
A high-efficiency ethyl acetate plant consists of several specialized engineering components designed for chemical processing. Key entities include a kettle reboiler, a distillation column, a decanter, and a settler. Attomo Industries custom-builds these plants with automated control panels to monitor temperature and pressure, ensuring stable, high-speed operations for pharmaceutical and chemical sectors.
Ethyl acetate plants are primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries. These sectors require the high-purity solvent for the processing and storage of various products. Attomo provides turnkey solutions that meet specific technical requirements for these fields, ensuring the final product reaches the necessary grade for applications like medicines or specialized coatings.
Yes, Attomo Industries specializes in manufacturing custom-made ethyl acetate plants tailored to varying technical specifications. Whether you require a specific capacity or integration with an Acetic Acid Recovery Plant, the engineering consultation team designs the facility to optimize workflow. This customization ensures the plant operates efficiently at maximum speeds while maintaining strict quality standards.
The best way to ensure high purity is through a precise distillation and recovery process.
- Azeotropic Distillation: Carry reaction products to the column top.
- Decanting: Separate the mixture to manage reflux requirements.
- Refining: Use an E.A. Column to draw pure product from the bottom.
- Recovery: Route bottom flows to a recovery column to minimize waste.
