wiped film high vacuum molecular distillation
Below a distillation plant for laboratory use is described. The plant is used for:
- Process development.
- Feasibility studies.
- Continuous distillation of smaller quantities.
- For heat sensitive chemical, pharmaceutical and food products.
The achievable operating pressure could be as low as 0.001 mbar in the short path evaporator. (Depending on product and process).
