TSK (Tsukishima KIKAI) - Ion Exchange / Chromatography Separator

http://www.tsk-g.co.jp/en/tech/equip/ion.html

ISEP/CSEP is an innovative machine developed by Advanced Separation Technologies Inc. in the US (now owned by Calgon Carbon Corporation). ISEP collects usable components and removes unnecessary components from the liquid. CSEP is applicable for Chromatographic separation.
[Major applicable process]
Purification of amino acids, desalting and decoloring of glucose and sugar
Collection of valuables from wastewater
Collection and purification of vitamins
Chromatographic separation etc.
[Features]
In comparison with the fixed bed type, Running cost is reduced
Reduced amount of water and chemical usage (approx. 1/4)
Reduced resin fill-up amount for Ion exchange (approx. 1/2)
Easy operation
Reduced installation space
Easy maintenance due to valve usage
High separation capacity
High reliability
Due to its simple structure, little time is required to maintain the equipment, and proves high reliability

Nippon Rensui Co. has been developing a new separation and purification process using chromatographic separation technology originally developed by Mitsubishi Chemical Co. group, combined with experienced distinguished application technology for ion exchange resins.
In 1977 our technology was originally established as the continuous separation process between fructose and glucose in the high fructose corn syrup(HFCS) production process, then became an essential process in this industry, and more than 100 plants have been built and operated in the world.
Furthermore, we have been seeking to improve and spread this technology for new field such as separation and purification of sugar, oligosaccharide and other foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals.

Chromatographic Enrichment

Industrial scale chromatography used in the sweetener industry is dependent on highly engineered chromatography media based on ion exchange (IX) technology. Depending on the polymer density, or microporosity, and ionic form, sweeteners can be separated from salts, and sweetener-related products can be separated from each other through both ligand exchange and size exclusion chromatography. Dow Water & Process Solutions is the premier supplier of engineered, industrial scale chromatography media, offering a full range of DOWEX™ MONOSPHERE™ products for a wide range of applications. This table shows examples of commercial applications of industrial scale chromatography employed in the sweetener industry. For more information on this subject, please read the technical manual, "Chromatographic Separation of Fructose and Glucose with DOWEX MONOSPHERE Ion Exchange Resins."
Applications of Chromatography in Sweeteners
  • Sugar recovery from Molasses
  • Fructose – Glucose Separation
  • Fructose Enrichment – Crystalline Fructose
  • Glucose Enrichment – Crystalline Glucose
  • Hydrogenated sugars purification
