Grit Chambers – Types and Uses

25 May 2023 Jefy Chemical Engineering

Grit Chambers are one of the most commonly used types of equipment in the wastewater treatment process. In this blog, I will walk you through the mechanism, types and uses of grit chambers. Before diving deep into grit chambers, make sure that you go through these blogs so that you know what exactly happens in a wastewater treatment plant.

Azeotropes – Definition, Types, Properties and Methods of Separation

14 May 2023 Jefy Azeotropes, Chemical Engineering

Azeotropes or azeotropic mixtures have always been a topic of interest due to their unique properties and the inability to separate them completely using conventional distillation. A classic example of azeotropes occurs in winemaking wherein an Ethanol-water mixture forms an azeotropic mixture at 96% Ethanol by volume which prohibits its further purification by distillation. In this blog, let’s look at how this happens and how we can separate such azeotropic mixtures.

Steam Distillation – Process, Principle and Diagram – Full Details

17 February 2023 Jefy Chemical Engineering, Steam distillation

Steam distillation is a separation process in which we separate a mixture of immiscible components by introducing steam and subsequently condensing the vapours. In this blog, I will walk you through steam distillation and its principles. First, let us understand the instances in which we opt for Steam distillation over other separation processes.
