Higee System – Alternatives to Conventional Distillation Stripping Tower

January 26, 2026

Super Gravity Rectification Units Delivering Efficiency Across Industries

Higee system, at the forefront of separation technology, our super gravity rectification system, also called high gravity distillation (HGD) systems are redefining efficiency and compactness for demanding applications. We are thrilled to showcase two recent successful installations, tailored for distinct industries, highlighting the versatility and superior performance of our HGD technology.

1.The Precision Performer: 500 L/h Higee System for Biopharmaceuticals

Our 500 liters-per-hour higee system represents a paradigm shift in solvent recovery and purification for the sensitive biopharmaceutical sector. Installed at a leading drug substance manufacturer, this system is engineered for high-purity separations critical to pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) processes.

Application Focus: This higee system excels in recovering high-value solvents like methanol, acetone, or isopropanol from process streams. Its exceptional capability ensures the stringent purity levels required to meet GMP standards, minimizing cross-contamination risks and supporting robust purification protocols essential for final product quality.

Why It’s Ideal for Pharma: The higee system’s closed, compact design reduces solvent exposure, enhancing operator safety. Its rapid start-up and shut-down capability align perfectly with batch production modes, while its superior separation efficiency ensures maximum solvent recovery, reducing both raw material costs and waste disposal volumes.

2.The High-Capacity Workhorse: 1500 L/h System for Food & Fragrance

Deployed at a major food ingredient producer, our 1500 L/h Super Gravity Distillation unit is built for high-volume processing. It handles the distillation and concentration of heat-sensitive compounds found in essential oils, natural extracts, and food-grade aromas.

Application Focus: This robust system is ideal for tasks such as de-alcoholization of extracts, concentration of flavor compounds, and purification of edible oils. It gently yet effectively separates components, preserving the delicate organoleptic profiles that define product quality in the food and fragrance industries.

Why It’s Ideal for Food & Fragrance: The system’s ability to operate at significantly lower temperatures and with very short material residence times is crucial. It prevents thermal degradation, preserving the natural color, flavor, and fragrance of sensitive compounds that traditional methods might compromise.

Why Choose Super Gravity Rectification Over Traditional Columns?

The adoption of our HGD technology over conventional packed or tray distillation columns is driven by several transformative advantages:

Dramatically Smaller Footprint: Our HGD systems utilize high-speed rotation to generate a super gravity field, intensifying mass transfer by orders of magnitude. This allows a unit the size of a desk to replace a traditional column several stories tall, saving invaluable floor space.

Exceptional Energy Efficiency: The intensified mass transfer and high separation efficiency lead to significantly lower energy consumption for the same throughput. Reduced boiling temperatures further decrease steam or heating utility demands, slashing operational costs.

Superior Product Quality & Flexibility: Extremely short liquid residence time (measured in seconds) within the rotor minimizes the risk of thermal degradation or polymerization for sensitive materials. This is paramount for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and fine chemicals. The systems also offer quick start-up and easy changeover between different products.

Reduced Capital & Operating Costs: The compact size translates to lower material and installation costs. Minimal holdup volume means less waste during product changeovers. Easier maintenance and automated control further contribute to a lower total cost of ownership.

Enhanced Safety & Environmental Profile: The sealed, compact design with a small liquid inventory presents a lower inherent risk. Higher recovery rates of solvents reduce VOC emissions and waste generation, supporting greener manufacturing goals.

These two installations—500 L/h for precision biopharma and 1500 L/h for high-volume food processing—demonstrate that Super Gravity Distillation is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a scalable, superior technology platform adaptable to diverse industry needs. By choosing our HGD systems, clients are not just purchasing equipment; they are investing in a future of compact, efficient, and sustainable separation.
