Tailor Made EquipmentShort Path Distillation

Muez-Hest provides Short Path Distillation to thermal separation which operate at a process pressures in the range of 1 to 0,001 mbar. It lowers the boiling temperature and is an excellent method for gentle thermal treatment of heat sensitive, high boiling products.

The vapor generated on the heated surface travels a very short distance to reach the condenser surface, thus eliminating pressure drop. The condensed distillate and concentrate are collected separately in the bottom section before they are taken out.

Highlights:

  1. 1Enhanced vacuum can lower boiling point by 100 to 150°C, as compared to ATFE
  2. 2Excellent for gently processing heat sensitive, high boiling products
  3. 3Residence time of a few seconds
  4. 4Required distillation achieved in a single pass
  1. 5Low product holdup
  2. 6Excellent turndown capability
  3. 7Operating temperatures up to 400°C

Applications:(High vacuum distillation of)

  1. 1Pharmaceuticals, bulk drugs, natural or synthetic vitamins, esters.
  2. 2Epoxy resins, plasticizers, and stabilizers
  3. 3Fish oil, omega-3 fatty acids, fatty acid derivatives, glycerides, tocopherol and Tocotrienols
  4. 4Fine Chemicals, silicone oils, and higher alcohols
  1. 5Re-refining of spent lube oil
  2. 6Purification of natural and synthetic waxes
  3. 7Product recovery from distillation column residues
