Fractional Distillation Equipment Overview
At Pope Scientific, we offer a sophisticated line of fractional distillation systems, designed to meet the rigorous demands of separating complex mixtures. Our Fractional Distillation Columns are especially suited for critical applications across a diverse range of industries, including fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, foods, flavors, cosmetics, and extracts. These systems are ideal for situations where a high degree of purity is essential or when the components’ boiling points are closely matched.
Our fractional distillation equipment is available in various sizes, from lab-scale solvent recovery to larger processing scales. Pope Scientific specializes in mid-size fractionation columns, expertly bridging the gap between small laboratory bench-scale units (handling grams to kilos) and large industrial process systems. With a throughput capacity ranging from 1 to 100 gallons per hour, our equipment is perfect for pilot plants and applications that require small production runs.
Leveraging our extensive engineering expertise, we provide comprehensive support in the design and implementation of your fractional distillation equipment. This includes evaluating the number of theoretical plates required and the energy necessary for achieving the desired separation. We carefully determine the essential components and configuration to best meet your specific needs. Each fractional distillation system is meticulously manufactured, rigorously tested, and delivered ready for integration.
To ensure a seamless transition, we also offer installation services and in-plant training, completing your distillation processing equipment solution. Choose Pope Scientific for precision-engineered fractional distillation systems that deliver exceptional performance and reliability.
