DWCI awarded project for a network of dividing wall columns in an Indian chemical complex

Four DWC Prime™ columns will replace a conventional sequence of eight distillation columns at a leading Indian acetone-derivatives complex.

DWC Innovations has been awarded a project by a leading Indian chemical complex to enhance the distillation scheme used in the production of acetone derivatives through the application of its proprietary DWC Prime™ technology.

As part of the project, four DWC Prime columns will replace a conventional sequence of eight distillation columns, significantly simplifying the separation process while improving operational efficiency. The chemical plant is scheduled for commissioning in November 2023.

• Preparation of the Basic Engineering Package (BEP) for the DWC Prime columns
• Supply of proprietary column internals
• Technical support for integrating the advanced distillation technology into the new processing scheme

By replacing eight conventional columns with four DWC Prime columns, the project is expected to deliver substantial benefits, including reduced capital investment, lower energy consumption, decreased plot-space requirements, and improved process performance. This award further demonstrates the growing adoption of DWC Innovations’ advanced distillation technologies in the global chemical industry.
