Fractional distillation is a technique used to purify solvents, chemicals, natural products, petroleum, biodiesel, crude oil and other materials.

The distillation column separates various components according to their boiling points. The more efficient the distillation column, the better the separation.

Fractionating can be done in either a traditional packed distillation column or in a spinning band distillation column. B/R offers both types of distillation columns.

Automation and Accessories: The fractional distillation process can be fully automated from beginning to end. Automation assures safety and allows unattended operation. Accessories such as automatic fraction collectors, vacuum (for reducing boiling points), and receivers can be added to customize the distillation system to your needs.
