Innovative Technology
PuriTech's ingenious continuous counter-current ion exchange system is based on an innovative multiport valve design. Targeted at a broad range of industries, ION-IX liquid adsorption technology improves liquid-resin contact efficiency while reducing plant operating costs and capital expenditure.
With more than 150 projects operational in +20 different processes worldwide, PuriTech proves its ingenious ION-IX technology.
What we do
Chemical process design
Complete chemical processes are configured and designed with corresponding flow rates, piping dimensions, etc..
Engineering of complete installations
Custom engineering of complete ground-up installations is done with respect to each specific chemical process.
3D-design
A detailed 3D-design of each ION-IX system is carried out to visualize the clients needs.
Pilot trial & Process optimalisation
PuriTech conducts highly efficient and flexible pilot trials/process optimizations for innovating experiments.
Maintenance and after sales service
Professional maintenance and required training services are given to maintain optimal efficiency of the clients production.
Start-up & on-site training
After completely testing and commissioning the ION-IX
installation, the start-up is carefully completed together with the client. On-site training is
given to familiarize the client with the ION-IX system.
PuriTech's history
2020 - Largest ION-IX system was constructed
A 4" multiport valve for Lithium recovery was constructed, being the biggest made so far.
2019 - Acquired be SunResin
Expansion of our market position into Asia.
2016 - Design and engineering of the first fertilizer plant
50,000 TPA KNO3 production plant using KCl and HNO3.
2014 - Green business
An innovative purification plant of cross-linking agents for biodegradable plastics was
successfully constructed and started up.
2011 - Construction of the largest Nickel/Cobalt separation plant in the world
After replacing an existing Nickel/Cobalt separation system by the innovative ION-IX system,
PuriTech got the opportunity to design and construct the largest Nickel/Cobalt separation
plant in the world. This 200 m³/h installation was completely designed and started up by
PuriTech.
2008 - First commercial sugar deashing plant
PuriTech successfully realized the first commercial ION-IX plant for deashing of sugar in
Mexico for the largest sugar company in the world. After this great success other sugar
companies followed and more sugar deashing systems were installed.
2007 - First of many patented mobile purification systems for amine removal
Mobile skid used for regular on-site purification of closed-loop production units.
2006 - PuriTech took over 95% of the AMP Nitrate removal market in the UK
2003 - First commercial installation
After conducting several successful pilot trials the first commercial system was sold, which
was installed and commissioned during 2003. Further orders followed quickly, as interest in
this innovative technology continued to grow.
2001 - ION-IX system patented
PuriTech started conducting pilot trials of ION-IX during 2001 when the technology was
patented.
1996 - PuriTech was founded
Against a backdrop of strengthening markets and the growing potential of ion exchange,
PuriTech developed the ION-IX liquid adsorption separation technology. The company’s aim
was to build on and dramatically improve existing systems, particularly those based on
continuous counter-current ion exchange, and broaden the technology’s application.
