Toyo Engineering Corporation, the first commercialization of over 50% energy saving distillation system compared to conventional system, “SUPERHIDIC”Apr. 6, 2017

Toyo Engineering Corporation (TOYO), the parent company of Toyo Engineering Korea Limited, has been awarded engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning assistance contract from Japanese Petrochemical company, Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd. in 2014 and completed installation of the energy saving distillation system, “SUPERHIDIC”, which can achieve over 50% of energy saving comparing to the existing distillation tower. By applying “SUPERHIDIC” distillation system in distillation process of oil refineries and petrochemical plant, both energy saving and CO2 emission reduction can be achieved. The system reduces thermal energy consumption heating the reboiler at the bottom of the distillation tower and cooling the condenser at the top of the tower. It has been researched for many years by companies, universities and research institutions in many countries and TOYO is the first to commercialize it. Based on the success of this project, TOYO is planning to expand the commercialization of "SUPERHIDIC", and aims to contribute to saving energy at oil refineries and petrochemical plants, lowering operational expenses, and further reducing the burden on the global environment.
