Hydrochloric acid recovery

HCl Recovery

Discover the true power of a high-speed, sustainable pickling solution. Not just industry-leading acid recovery; this is industry-defining.

Acid recovery using vacuum evaporation.

Heavy metals and contaminants slow your pickling process (also leaching or ion exchange) and waste valuable acid. Our systems meticulously remove impurities, enabling the reuse of clean acid.

«The HCl Recovery System is flexible enough to recover certain mixed acids.

Incoming waste acid is pumped through a pre-filter into an evaporation loop, comprised of:

a.) Evaporator Exchanger
b.) Separator Tank
c.) Centrifugal Pump

In this heating loop, the acid and water vaporize and rise to the top of the Separator Tank while the metals remain in solution at the bottom.

As the temperature rises in the evaporation loop, the concentration of metals remaining in the circulating solution increases. When the concentrate reaches a preset level, the system automatically discharges it into a storage tank or IBC tote.

The recovered acid and water vapor travel from the top of the Separator Tank to a tank consisting of two sections: a Recovered Acid Tank in the lower section and a Rectifier in the upper section.

The Rectifier is a packed distillation column. The incoming vapors separate as they rise through this column because the acid vapor (with a higher boiling point) condenses and collects in the Recovered Acid section. A pump discharges the recovered acid back to its original tank.

The water vapor rises through the Rectifier and enters the Condenser, where it cools into liquid for reuse in the plant.
