Refinery Tower Columns for Sale

Columns are often found in chemical processing, petroleum refineries and pharmaceutical facilities to distill high quantities of liquid. Choosing the right distillation column for your application requires more insight than simply knowing what you want to produce. You must consider several important factors, including surface area, flow rate and the volume of liquid being processed. The right design improves efficiency and ensures your operation delivers consistent results.

The experts at Louisiana Chemical Equipment Company can assist you in determining the right used packed columns for your organization’s specific distillation needs. Learn more about the used packed columns available from LCEC and key buying considerations below.

Common Types of Distillation Columns

Louisiana Chemical Equipment Company offers a wide selection of used columns, with options to suit a variety of applications. Our inventory often includes:

• Extraction columns: These use a third substance to adjust boiling points and allow separation of liquids that are otherwise difficult to split.
• Used packed columns: Packed columns use internal packing materials, such as metal, ceramic or plastic, to increase surface area inside the tower. Vapor rises as liquid flows downward, interacting with the packing to improve mass transfer and distillation efficiency.
• Trayed columns: With trays placed horizontally inside the tower, these columns collect liquid as vapor passes upward. The added surface area boosts separation and helps achieve higher purity levels.

Top Benefits of Used Packed Columns

Buying used equipment can give your business an edge. When you choose a used packed column from LCEC, you don’t have to wait months for a manufacturer to build and ship new machinery. Instead, the equipment is ready to be delivered and installed right away. That means less downtime and faster project completion.

Saving costs is another key advantage. Used packed columns provide reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. Since many of our clients are already familiar with the equipment they need, the buying process is straightforward. You can browse our online inventory, request a quote and have a salesperson help confirm the details.

Some customers even purchase directly through our commerce site, which makes keeping projects moving easier.
