Purification
Purification and starting materials
Our industrial processes and activities prevent approximately 500 million kilograms of CO₂ emissions every year.
Tailor-made sustainable solutions for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Circular and bio-based raw materials, high-purity solvents, 3 customized synthesis plants, 32 distillation towers.
Itelyum Purification offers
A complex industrial structure specializing in the production, marketing, and distribution of solvents, as well as in the recovery and purification of organic solvents and chemical synthesis.
Itelyum Purification can also operate on a contract basis, thanks to flexible process lines and variable configurations adapted to input materials and production programs.
The technological process
The purification of used solvents and other chemical waste streams makes it possible to obtain high-quality products with a reduced environmental footprint.
The advanced plants and production processes we have developed have established us as a national and European leader in the purification, recovery, and valorization of solvents.
At the Landriano plant
we regenerate at least 81%
of the raw materials and treated waste streams.
The supply chain of solvents
Every year, around 90,000 tons of used solvents, mainly from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, are regenerated or recovered with high industrial yields and quality standards.
This activity, in particular, establishes a strategic partnership with the chemical sector of API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) manufacturers. The products can either return to their original sector (toll manufacturing) or be valorized through new formulations capable of meeting the needs of other markets, both industrial and geographical.
Thanks to Itelyum’s technologies, when compared to primary production, purified solvents generate:
- Up to 10 times fewer CO₂ emissions
- 4 times fewer particulate emissions
- 5 times fewer acidifying emissions (NOx, SO₂, and NH₃)
- Half the water resource consumption
- 8 times less land use
Sustainability in numbers
Itelyum Purification is committed to improving its ESG performance and transparency through reporting
This is achieved through a combination of data collection and verification, internal audits, self-assessments of facilities, and reviews of management systems at site, functional, and corporate levels. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used to measure and communicate overall performance externally.
