What Is Distillation?

What Is Distillation?
 Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase. The gas is then condensed back into liquid form and collected. Repeating the process on the collected liquid to improve the purity of the product is called double distillation. Although the term is most commonly applied to liquids, the reverse process can be used to separate gases by liquefying components using changes in temperature and/or pressure.
Distillation is used for many commercial processes, such as production of gasoline, distilled water, xylene, alcohol, paraffin, kerosene, and many other liquids. Types of distillation include simple distillation (described here), fractional distillation (different volatile 'fractions' are collected as they are produced), and destructive distillation (usually, a material is heated so that it decomposes into compounds for collection).

DOUBLE DISTILLATION UNIT

DOUBLE DISTILLATION UNIT

, 

VERTICAL GLASS DISTILLATION: With quartz heater tube with 

1. automatic water level cut off device. 

2. The system is mounted on Metal box. 

DOUBLE STAGE , CAP : 3.5 Lt./Hr. 

·         Compact design, with all contact parts made of  high quality, pure Electronic Grade transparent Quartz only.

·         The main unit consist of a bottom Boiler and top Boiler with Condenser, which can be easily separated (Demountable ) for necessary cleaning or  maintenance, if required. Bottom vent provided in bottom Boiler for general cleaning and maintenance

·         The main constituent of Quartz is SiO2 >99.9% which make the apparatus highly resistant to any thermal shock, devitrification and resistant to water and acids.

·         The electrical heaters are so designed, they do not come into contact with water because they are embedded inside a Quartz tube, hence nullifying the possibility of metal contamination by the heaters.

·         The given Volume of water in the Boiler during the distillation process is very Less, resulting in low heat loss, hence power is saved.

·         The distillate obtained from this apparatus is PYROGEN FREE. It is also FREE from metal ions.

·         All water connections can be given with threaded connectors

·         Demountable ball Joint

·         Spiral Heater has better life span that tubular sheathed heater.

Optional Accessories :

·         Electrical dual auto-cut-off system

o    Optical Beam Sensor-Incase of Boiler water level reduces, increases and also if Boiler pressure increases.

o    Water Flow switch-Incase water level reduces or fails through Condenser

o    Audio Alarm Light Indicator

·         Quartz Storage Vessel for collection of distillate

·         Additional Bulb Condenser to bring down the temperature of the distillate

Water Softener for bottom Boiler input
