2-Stage PVC Pilot Mixer Settler Skid-Mounted System Successfully Shipped

2026-04-28
We are pleased to announce the successful delivery of a 2-stage pilot mixer settler system manufactured with PVC material and integrated into a skid-mounted unit. This system will be used by the customer for pilot-scale liquid-liquid extraction testing and process validation.



The equipment is designed with a two-stage counter-current extraction configuration, ensuring efficient mass transfer and phase separation. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including chemical processing, hydrometallurgy, environmental treatment, and fine chemicals production.


Why PVC Material?

The extraction tanks are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering:
Excellent corrosion resistance
Cost-effective solution for pilot-scale projects
Good adaptability for acidic or aggressive media
This makes PVC an ideal choice for laboratory and pilot-scale continuous extraction processes.


Skid-Mounted Design Advantages

The entire system is mounted on a single skid, integrating:
✅ Mixing units
✅ Settling chambers
✅ Piping system
✅ Basic control components


This modular design provides several key benefits:

✅ Quick installation with minimal on-site work
✅ Easy transportation as a complete unit
✅ Compact footprint and flexible layout
✅ Convenient expansion to multi-stage systems

Before shipment, the system was fully assembled and tested in our workshop, ensuring reliable performance and reducing commissioning time at the customer’s site.


Supporting Process Development
This 2-stage pilot mixer settler not only enables process feasibility studies, but also helps optimize critical parameters such as:
  • Number of extraction stages
  • Phase ratio
  • Residence time
The data obtained can serve as a solid foundation for future industrial-scale design.

FAQ: 
Q1: What is a pilot mixer settler used for?
A: It is used for process testing and validation before scaling up to industrial production.

Q2: Can the system be expanded to more stages?
A: Yes, the modular skid-mounted design allows easy expansion to multi-stage extraction systems.

Q3: Is PVC suitable for all extraction processes?
A: PVC is ideal for many corrosive environments, but material selection can be customized based on your process conditions.
