thin film distillation

Thin film distillation is a unique process used to produce extremely pure oils and chemicals. It is sold in a specialized machine that heats the liquid and turns it into a vapor. The vapor then cools and condenses back into a liquid. In doing so, it leaves dust and other yucky stuff behind, and leaves the liquid clean and pure. Here’s a deeper dive into how Glass Thin Film evaporator works, and why it matters.

In thin film distillation, the liquid is spread out in a thin film along the inside of a rotating tube. This tube heats up and the liquid begins to evaporate. The vapor chills and transforms back into a liquid as it snakes through the tube. The mud is left, only the pure liquid flows through at the end. This technology is neat because it can borough things super pure in a single swoop.

Understanding the principles of thin film distillation

The distillation of thin films of liquid works because different things boil at different temperatures. As that liquid heats, the components that vaporize at lower temperatures vaporize first. This steam is then condensed and cooled to obtain the pure liquid. With this technique, thin film evaporation can be used to divide mixtures of substances and distill them so purely.

Advantages of Thin Film Distillation Transfer of the volatile substances takes place in single stage Low holdup of the heated membranes Low residence time Small heating surface necessary Compact design Simple system design Easy to clean Competitive process economics Medium vacuum operation requires little energy.
