Prilling other chemicals

Developments at scientific level.

Constant development

Prilling is a proven technology and an extremely effective process of making small spherical particles (prills) from a melt. Our R&D team has discovered a wide variety of new applications for prilling over the years. And we are constantly discovering new ones.

In partnership with Delft University of Technology, we have spent a considerable amount of time studying ways to prill chemicals such as:

  • Paraformaldehyde
  • Waxes
  • Iodine
  • Poly Lactic Acid (PLA)
  • Benzoic Acid
  • Poly Ethylene Glycol (PEG)
  • Salts
  • Aqueous Gels
  • Caustic Soda (Sodium hydroxide, NaOH)

Absolute prilling authority

Kreber designs, constructs and maintains high-quality prilling equipment for international chemical companies. With more than 50 years of experience, an impressive track record and a top team of researchers and engineers, we can be called an absolute authority in the field of prilling.

Prills sample

Prills of a chemical substance in bulk offers significant advantages:

  • Excellent 'free-flowing' properties
  • Low tendency to stick and agglomerate
  • Distinguished for air lifting
  • Highly resistant to abrasion or damage
  • Minimal dust formation
  • Well suited for transportation in road tankers, containers and big bags
  • Excellently storable in silo installations
  • Precise dosage
  • No additives needed; pure materials

About prills and prilling

Prilling chemicals:
more control, more profit

Prilling chemical substances, like acids and oleochemicals, offers the following advantages over other solidification methods:

Prilling is one of the most economical finishing technologies in the world for large outputs. Compared with other solidification methods such as granulation and pastillation, CAPEX and OPEX will be multiple times lower at increased capacities.

Prilling makes it easy to scale up or down capacity in a range of 70-110% of the original design capacity. That makes it an extremely flexible part of your total production process. Quickly adapt to changes in the market? With prilling you can.

The high degree of ‘self-control’ makes prilling a robust finishing technology with a very stable processing procedure. It can therefore play a vital role in guaranteeing the continuity of your process and quality of your product.

The prilling process requires minimal energy consumption. In fact: it is the most energy-efficient solidification technology available. This helps you to minimize your operational expenses.

Prilling equipment is easy to operate. Due well defined process operating parameters and small number of equipment items. As a result you benefit from low operating and maintenance costs.

With the design of our prilling tower and additional prilling equipment, you benefit from a relatively small footprint compared to other solidification technologies.

Thanks to a constant stream of technical innovations, such as state-of-the-art air inlet filtration and scrubber technologies, prilling is now a much cleaner finishing technology than it ever has been.
