Some important info you need know -Vacuum Pumps for Distillation

A vacuum pump is an important component in the distillation process as it helps to reduce the boiling point of the liquid being distilled by lowering the pressure inside the distillation apparatus. This, in turn, helps to separate the components of the liquid more efficiently and at lower temperatures.

In summary, a vacuum pump plays a critical role in the distillation process by reducing the boiling point of the liquid being distilled, improving separation, increasing efficiency, and removing impurities.

As far as the distillation process is concerned, what are the applications of vacuum technology?
Vacuum distillation is an important process in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, but is also widely used in other industries, including beverage and food production. In addition, it is also used for crude oil refining: crude oil contains heavy hydrocarbons and light hydrocarbons with different boiling points, and two distillation processes are required. Atmospheric distillation is carried out first, and then secondary distillation is carried out through vacuum to separate heavy hydrocarbons at low temperature and minimize thermal cracking and unnecessary by-product formation.

We offer a wide range of vapor compatible, non-corrosive vacuum equipment ideal for distillation processes. For handling flammable vapours, gases and liquids we also offer ATEX (Explosion Protection) versions.
