for the chemical industryunsaturated fatty acidsshort path

Short path - or molecular - distillation allows the evaporation of heat sensitive products at operating pressures down to 0,001mbar at short residence times. On a cylindrical heating jacket the product is distributed and turbulized by a wiping system. The evaporated fraction is condensed on a condenser installed in the center of the evaporator. This arrangement minimizes the path from evaporation to condensing surface and achieves the lowest possible pressure drop. The high vacuum and the short residence time avoids thermal stress and decomposition of the processed products. Product features and description Short path distillation/Molecular distillation is a special liquid-liquid separation technology, which is different fromtraditional distillation on the different boiling point. This is a kind of distillation in high vacuum environment, for thedifference of material molecular movement free path, was carried out in the heat sensitive material or high boiling point material distillation and purification process. Short path distillation is mainly used in chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, spices, plastics, oil and other fields.
