Distillation still/fractional column hybrid

A Labtex product story
Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Aug 2, 2007

Pope Scientific says that heat-sensitive fine chemicals and other substances are safely and efficiently separated with its hybrid still technology

Pope Scientific's hybrid still systems combine the gentle short residence time evaporating principle of dynamically transported wiped thin films with the highly efficient separation capability of fractional distillation columns.

Versatile design allows configuration for molecular (short-path) distillation, evaporation, or fractionation, plus choice of glass, 316L SS, Hastelloy, other materials.

High vacuum operation is possible.

This is the technique of choice where the single theoretical plate of an evaporator alone does not provide required product purity, and where a conventional multiple theoretical plate distillation system alone causes thermal degradation.

Typical examples include purification of edible and essential oils, pharmaceuticals, foods, flavors, fragrances, cosmetics, polymers, extracts, vitamins, waxes, silicones, specialty fine chemicals, and many others.

The system shown is a complete turnkey laboratory model ideal for exploring the technology or for processing materials at feed rates from 10-800gm/hr.

Lab, pilot plant, and production systems with throughputs up to 1000kg/hr are available.
