Thin Film Vacuum Distillation

Our stainless steel thin film distillation system is the perfect solution.

Thin film vacuum distillation.

Thin film distillation at inchem offers a wide range of capabilities for separating purifying and concentrating substances. For certain wiping systems fixed clearance a wiped film evaporator is also called thin film evaporator. This thin film enables an efficient heat transfer even for highly viscous fluids. Wiped film distillation and short path distillation molecular distillation are thermal separation processes for thermally sensitive products.

About incon process systems. 1 day lab society thin film distillation install training 3000. This allows thermal separation of products that would be destroyed by conventional vacuum distillation pot still or distillation column because of the necessary high temperatures and long residence time. Pope scientific short path wiped film stills wfs and wiped film evaporators wfe successfully separate volatile from less volatile components for oils fats chemicals polymers nutraceuticals fragrances etc with a gentle process utilizing the thin film wiping action of feed liquid.

This enables the thermal separation of compounds that would be denatured by conventional vacuum distillation due to high temperatures and longer retention time. 2 day lab society thin film distillation install training 6000 note. All system requirements must be present on site prior to arrival including electrical connection vacuum pump chiller heater cold trap coolant. The wiped film distillation feed is admitted under high vacuum immediately spread into a very thin film and quickly forced down the evaporation surface.

With thin film distillation a substantial decrease of boiling temperature is obtained by reducing the operating pressure. While under vacuum the crude oil is added to the top of a heated vertical cylinder on a rotating plate. Incon process systems ips has over 25 years of high vacuum distillation technology experience incon process systems has designed built and operated the world s largest distillation plants for hundreds of different compounds. Providing equipment services technology to labs pilot plants production processing worldwide for over 50 years.

Specially designed wipers wipe the oil thus creating and renewing the thin film. It makes use of the low evaporation temperatures and low vacuum to tackle the chore. Short residence time. The thin film distillation is basically a way of separating mixtures and separating substances through the process of distillation.
