Distillation System This high efficiency, fractional distillation system is an ideal tool for automatically distilling a wide variety of petroleum samples.
This high efficiency, fractional distillation system is an ideal tool for automatically distilling a wide variety of petroleum samples. Common applications include:
- Bio-diesel Distillation
- Condensate Distillation
- Middle Distillate Distillation
- Crude Oil Distillation
- High Boiling Materials
- Many More...
This high efficiency distillation system can be equipped with two different types of distillation columns, spinning band columns and packed columns.
Column Specifications
| Packed Column Distillation | Spinning Band Distillation Column | |
|---|---|---|
| Application | High throughput | High maximum AET Vapor Temperature |
| Boiler Range | 1-2000 liters | 1-50 liters |
| Theoretical Plates | 15-45 | 20 |
| Column Element | Packing –Random, structured or real plates. | Spinning Band |
| Maximum AET vapor temperature | 400 °C | 500+ °C |
| Column Diameter | 25 mm – 150 mm | 21 mm |
The automatic controller minimizes the amount of operator time required for each distillation. Select your stored distillation program and let the controller perform the distillation. Collect up to 8 fractions. Each fraction has programmable:
- Open Temperature
- Close Temperature
- Heat Rate
- Reflux Ratio
- Programmable shut down at end of distillation
Each distillation program has a programmable:
- Vacuum level
- Maximum Boiler temperature (safety feature)
- Equilibration Time
The controller allows easy editing of parameters while the distillation is in progress. Or run the distillation from a PC.
- Automatic Fraction Collector
- Automatic Vacuum Control
- Heating/Cooling Bath
- PC Control
- Many Other Options
Petroleum products that have high boiling points should be distilled at reduced pressures. The VAC-1000 is a complete, stand alone, vacuum system that can provide regulated vacuum to any distillation system. It features a 5 decade pressure sensor, control valve, cold trap, vacuum pump, all mounted on a roll around cart for easy maneuverability in the laboratory.
Automatic Fraction Collectors
Two, four and 8 place fraction collectors are available to direct distilled material to the desired receiver. Allows distilled fractions to be collected unattended. Various size receivers are available.
distillation equipment since 1966.
