Costacurta’s Separation Technologies department can carry out feasibility studies during the design stage of new plants or during the revamping of existing equipment, when it is necessary to study specifications that guarantee the required performances, adapting to any imposed restrictions.

Typically, Costacurta, bearing in mind the operating conditions and layout of the plant, and using its design tools, identifies the best combination of internals able to optimise both the separation performances and the overall size of the vessel, supported, if necessary, also by fluid-dynamics controls using CFD. Mechanical engineering, where necessary, is controlled by means of finite elements analysis (FEA).
