Our Approach
Pope’s molecular stills are renowned for their efficacy in purifying oils and fats with minimal thermal impact, preserving the natural qualities and preventing undesirable flavors or discoloration. Our hybrid stills further enhance this capability by combining the benefits of low thermal impact with precise fractional distillation, enabled by adding a distillation column to our wiped film still. This innovation allows for more accurate separation by boiling point in a continuous system, setting new standards in the distillation of fatty acids and oleochemicals.
