What is the distillation unit?

The distillation unit is a set of machines that is used to separate two or more mixed liquids by heating the mixture until each component reaches its boiling point. When each part of the mixture is cooked - turns to steam - can be segregated. The distillation unit consists of a boiler, a vertical space or a column where separation occurs, a capacitor that turns the steam back to the liquid and storage containers for storing separate liquids. The boiler can be driven by a series of products, including heating oil, natural gas and coal. Some boilers are powered by a by -product of mixed liquid that has already undergone this process. Industrial distillation processes where steam is available can also use steam to heat feed. The couples are driving and fed toward the capacitor. The capacitor absorbs the heat from the segregated steam and turns it back to the liquid. The segregated liquid or distillate is transferred from the capacitor to the storage container. To improve the purity of the distillate, this process could be repeated tofurther removed elements that are not identical to the distillate.

The fractional distillation unit separates mixed liquids where boiling points are similar. The fractional distillation column has a number of levels using trays or packages where the supply supplies are evaporated, condensed and evaporated. The distillation process is repeated several times until the different components are thoroughly separated. An example of fractional distillation is the separation of different degrees of gasoline and oil from oil supplies.

Simple distillation unit is used when the supply of feed is the only liquid with solid contaminants, such as the process of distilling ordinary water from the sea water. When sea water is boiled, the water molecules turn to the steam and the salt is released from the suspension in the water. Pure evaporated water in the form of steam is cooled to turn back to liquid form.

2 distillation of steam is suitable for stable materials that are not easy to dissolve inwater. The liquid evaporates from the mixture, often plant material and mixes with steam, but after condensation is easily separated and the steam turns back into the water. Steam distillation is used to produce a large number of essential vegetable oils such as Clary Sage, Peppermint and Lemongrass.

Vacuum distillation unit puts feeding supplies under vacuum pressure by removing the air from the distillation column to reduce the boiling point of the feed. This process is used in cases where a high boiling point can damage the quality of feed or where the original boiling point is so high that the process is difficult or disabling costs. Vacuum distillation can also improve the efficiency of the distillation process by allowing it to work with less heat.
