Wiped film distillation

Wiped film distillation tower is such a cool and interesting process, I think it's probably been implemented for quite some time. It is a method for dividing various liquids according to the temperature at which they boil. Let’s explore how it operates, and how it is beneficial to numerous industries

Wiped film distillation operates by creating a film of solution which is passed and held in contact with the heated evaporator surface. These vapors are transferred through a pipe and cooled, which turns them into liquid once more. It is possible to separate the various mixed substances by distillation as they have different boiling points. The "wiped film" term refers to the rotating wiping action of a rotating disk (dispersion blade for LCI, centrifuge for distillation) that extends the length of the evaporator.

The Benefits of Wiped Film Distillation

It can be beneficial to use wiped film distillation apparatus. One of the primary benefits is that it can be used to separate components with similar boiling points that would be hard to separate using another process. This makes it an invaluable apparatus in pharmaceutical, perfume and essential oil industries where fractional separations are required. In addition, wiped film distillation is a fairly rapid process meaning that it is cost-efficient for commercial scale production

Wiped film distillation is an essential component in various extraction processes to separate the desired compound from the starting product. For instance, in the cannabis sector wiped film distillation is a common utilized technique for the removal of cannabinoids (THC or CBD) from plant product. This enables manufacturers to extract and concentrate high-quality extracts that can be incorporated into a variety of products such as edibles, topical creams, and more.
