Short path evaporation / distillation is a thermal separation technique that provides minimal pressure drop, permitting deep vacuum operation down to 0.001 mbar. Short path evaporation is also called molecular distillation while a short path evaporator is sometimes known as an SPE or SPDU (short path distillation unit).
Short path evaporation is excellent for gently processing heat sensitive, high boiling products. Short path evaporation perfectly complements LCI's thin film evaporation technology program, allowing us even greater capability to provide the right solution for your separation problems.
