Solutions for Complex Separation Challenges

Built on deep expertise in thermal separation and fractionation, we deliver integrated solutions for solvent recovery and alcohol processing through Montz Process Plant Solutions. Drawing on decades of engineering experience, we combine proven separation technologies with flexible system design to help you meet demanding performance, energy efficiency, and product quality requirements.

Our portfolio focuses on custom‑engineered separation solutions with strengths in distillation, rectification, and energy‑efficient, integrated process concepts. We develop each solution individually to address complex, customer‑specific separation challenges and support reliable operation across a wide range of operating conditions.

We apply these solutions wherever high product purity, energy efficiency, operational reliability, and sustainability are critical success factors, helping you move forward with confidence through every stage of your process lifecycle. For existing operations, we also support revamps, debottlenecking, and capacity expansion, unlocking hidden capacity and extending plant lifetime through targeted, high‑impact process optimization.

Our Technical Expertise

We work closely with you to address complex separation challenges through deep, applied thermal separation expertise. Our experience across distillation, evaporation, and hybrid separation concepts supports reliable solutions for demanding processes, including those involving high‑boiling, viscous, fouling, or sensitive streams. We design flexible solutions to accommodate complex feed variations and multipurpose operation while supporting stable, consistent performance.

We develop our process concepts with a strong focus on energy‑efficient operation and long‑term reliability. This includes the use of vacuum operation, multi‑effect systems, energy recovery, heat integration, and electrified approaches such as mechanical vapor recompression. We support you across the full process lifecycle, from early studies and process optimization through engineering, commissioning, and ongoing improvement. Our tailored solutions integrate seamlessly into your existing plants, support scalable execution, and enable future expansion as your operating needs evolve.


What This Means for You

  1. Lowering operating costs through energy-efficient design
  2. Improved sustainability and reduced emissions
  3. Consistent product quality across changing operating conditions
  4. Reliable operation, even in challenging applications
  5. Long-term partnership with ongoing optimization and support

Solutions aligned to your process needs

Alcohol Processes

We support the production and purification of renewable and industrial alcohols, including bioethanol, Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA), and fine distillates such as vodka and rum. Our process designs are tailored to the specific purity, capacity, and energy requirements of each application, spanning conventional distillation and rectification through to dehydration and multi-stage separation concepts.

Where your process requires it, we provide end-to-end integration across the full production chain, from upstream milling and fermentation through to downstream stillage treatment, including separation, evaporation, and drying. This comprehensive integration enables us to optimize energy flows, minimize utility consumption, and maintain consistent product quality across the entire process.

Solvent Recovery

We design and deliver solvent recovery solutions for technically demanding separation challenges across chemical, polymer, pharmaceutical, food, and industrial applications. Our experience spans a broad range of solvents, including IPA, ethanol, methanol, toluene, acetonitrile, DMAc, and NMP, across highly varied process conditions and feed compositions. We are experienced in handling challenging streams, including, but not limited to, high-boiling, viscous, fouling, and polymer containing streams, as well as processes requiring dedicated residue handling and emissions control.


We support a wide range of industries and applications, including:

  • Polymer, Fiber & Membrane Manufacturing — Recovery of high-boiling solvents such as DMAc and NMP from polymer-containing streams, including multi-stage vacuum rectification, solvent drying, and residue concentration
  • Chemical & Specialty Chemicals — Multipurpose distillation and rectification systems for flexible operation across changing feed compositions
  • Food, Biochemical & Fermentation — Recovery of precipitation alcohols integrated with evaporation technologies to maximize energy efficiency
  • Solvent Recycling — High-capacity systems for contaminated or recycled solvent streams, including emission-controlled offgas handling
  • Revamps & Plant Upgrades — Capacity expansions, energy-efficiency improvements, and targeted upgrades to existing separation systems
