Distillation Services - Labratory
Laboratory Distillations Systems can be as simple as a borosilicate glass, single stage rolled film or short path unit with an evaporator surface area of 0.01 mˆ2, to a more sophisticated multi-stage system incorporating wiped film evaporators as the initial stage with subsequent short path stages. The more complex laboratory units are often fabricated with 316 stainless steel or high nickel alloys for use under extremely corrosive conditions.
Below is a table indicating typical single stage laboratory units and their respective capacities. Also indicated for reference are some photographs of standard laboratory units.
