Fractional distillation is a technique used to purify solvents, chemicals, natural products, petroleum, biodiesel, crude oil and other materials.
The distillation column separates various components according to their boiling points. The more efficient the distillation column, the better the separation.
Fractionating can be done in either a traditional packed distillation column or in a spinning band distillation column. B/R offers both types of distillation columns.
Model 9600
Model 36-100
Model 800
Features of Spinning Band Distillation Systems:
High Efficiency
This distillation systems high theoretical plates in relatively lower length of column at atmospheric pressure. The high number of theoretical plates allows it to produce extremely high purity materials and making difficult separations on small sample sizes.
Lower hold up volume
Since the column only holds a small amount of sample, it can distill small sample sizes and give a high degree of separation.
Customized for your Application
All the Spinning band distillation systems can be configured according to your needs. Automation, vacuum systems, fraction collectors and other accessories can be integrated into the distillation system as needed. The result is a distillation apparatus customized to your specific needs.
Easy to use
The distillation process is fully automated from beginning to end, minimizing the time needed to operate the equipment. Easy programming of parameters makes you feel like a distillation expert. Heating, collecting of distillate and shut down of equipment at completion are all done automatically all controls from a PC.
