 Examples for downstream (polymer) processing
 Agitated Thin Film Dryer: Drying of (waterborne) latex to recover Rubber

 Agitated Thin Film Evaporator: 
 Evaporation of solvents from solvent‐borne polymers/resins up to 2000000 
[cp]
 Stripping of, plasticizers, stabilizers and monomers
 Recovery of monomer from residue stream

 Short Path Distillation Unit: 
 High vacuum distillation of (epoxy) resins, plasticizers, stabilizers

 Falling/Rising Film Evaporator: Solvent recovery, pre‐concentration

 Conical Stripper: VOC Removal from Latex
