benefit from a professional's expertise

Place your trust in an expert in distillation for your intermediates

Speichim Processing and Valls Quimica, subsidiaries of Séché Environnement, lead the European market in distilling chemicals. Our cutting-edge expertise enable us to provide custom services to purify intermediates.

Extracting molecules of interest, raw materials, byproducts and blended solvents requires complex solutions that involve considerable proficiency in a variety of distillation processes. That is why many businesses entrust us with their chemicals to produce high-quality intermediates that perfectly comply with the spec, for use in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, perfume, agrochemistry, petrochemical or fine chemical industry. 

We are also able to provide complementary high value-added services covering all technical and regulatory considerations. For our international clients in particular, we simplify the administrative process (such as transporting hazardous waste over international borders).

Custom work Short path and high vacuum molecular distillation Logistics

Are your purification capacities saturated? Do you wish to test a new product before investing in new facilities? Are you struggling to separate chemically similar substances? Is your delicate purification process unable to suffer any delay? The treatment capacity across our five industrial facilities in Europe enables your to safely outsource your intermediate purification operations.

Vacuum distillation processes (up to 0.01mbar) enable us to delicately separate liquids by lowering their boiling point. They are ideal for mixtures that do not tolerate prolonged heating, explosives or very high boiling molecules.

We make regular deliveries and collections all over Europe, using our fleet of iso-containers, our fixed storage facilities and our relationships with several international logistics partners. Our teams visit your premises to consider the most effective solutions for your needs. We also deliver in tanks, isotanks or platform trucks. Moreover, we offer conditioning in IBCs and/or barrels, even for temperature-sensitive products.

How we operate

Project feasibility study

After receiving a sample, we put together a technical dossier and determine the most appropriate treatment for your product based on the properties and volumes to process. We follow your specs with respect to quality standards as well as disposing of and processing the waste.

Kilo lab

For new purification projects, we conduct tests on representative samples (1 to 2 kg) to develop analysis procedures, conduct corrosion tests, and approve process choices. We are able to treat products with very high fusion (120°) and boiling points (300°).

Pilot test

We conduct pre-industrial tests to determine the settings, assess the drift sensitivity and draft the operating procedure. Our steel columns can process between 100 kg and 10 tons of product.

Industrial-scale treatment

Our evaporators and distillation columns can process up to hundreds of tons of product. Boasting separation capability of up to 60 theoretical plates, these columns create a vacuum to distill products in batches or continuously before they are conditioned in bulk, IBCs or barrels. Auxiliary storage and logistics solutions can also be provided.

Reasons to place your trust in us

End-to-end support

We have been distilling chemicals for over 50 years. The success of each operation relies on comprehensive analysis and lab trials, followed by a preindustrial pilot. We support you throughout your project across all technical, logistical and regulatory aspects. Our end-to-end solvent management service means you are able to cut the number of people and suppliers you need to deal with.

Safety above all else

All our facilities are categorized as Seveso plants and our teams operate in strict compliance with safety standards so as to ensure all our employees, subcontractors and clients remain safe. They receive training about the risks involved in their work and how to use safety equipment (fire safetyhealth and safety, hazmat suits, self-contained breathing apparatusATEX, and driver competence training).

A partner helping you bring about your environmental transition

As specialists in the circular economy, we develop many solutions to minimize the environmental impact and carbon emissions of your projects in order to combat climate change. We fully understand the energy impact of distillation, which is why we recover the waste heat, minimize heat loss by using effective insulation and control the amount of electricity we use.
