In oil refineries, petrochemical facilities, chemical plants, perfume industry, gas plants, etc, distillation equipment separates liquid mixtures into their various components at the core.
What is the meaning of Distillation?
The process of heating a liquid mixture vaporizing its components at different temperatures, and condensing it by passing through pipes at a lower temperature.
Most commonly, people use distillation to extract crude oils, alcohol, fragrance, water, etc. Usually, distillation consists of two processes evaporation and condensation. Therefore, it needs different types of distillation equipment.
Let’s see get on known to the Distillation Process-
Therefore, add heat to a liquid mixture with two or more main substances; for example, a water and ethanol mixture.
As the liquid heats, components with lower boiling points will vaporize and rise through the column. But the vapor rising in the column still contains some molecules of the other substances. Therefore, vapor gets purer the higher it rises in the column, as heavier molecules “fall off” and turn back to liquid.
Distillation Equipment has Columns called “stage” A stage is an area in the column with a similar amount of molecules of each type of substance. So, the distillation equipment achieves a certain percentage separation by being designed tall enough.
Therefore, the industrial condenser, a large chiller, collects the vapor reaching the top of the column (distillate), cools it back into a liquid, and pipes it into a tank or storage.

- Continuous Distillation
The column continues distilling substances until it achieves the desired purity. Therefore, batch systems remove the base once the desired separation is achieved, while many systems recirculate a solution several times to ensure proper substance separation.
Where does this Distillation Equipment need to be?
- Crude oil separation
- Water Distillation to remove impurities
- Brewery and distilleries
- Perfume industries
Where does one feel its importance?
- Achieve purity of desired substances.
- To manage wastewater. So preventing the environment from pollution.
- To boost your project by giving a quality product.
Benefits of vacuum system attached with Distillation equipment-
While, attaching a vacuum system with Distillation equipment to distill solvent under vacuum. In vacuum conditions, lowering the boiling point of the solvent enables achieving separation without expending additional energy on heating.
Nowadays the Leading Company in distillation equipment, evaporators, and crystallizers is ALAQUA INC.
While, the specially designed doctor blade in our distillation equipment mixes the waste solvent being distilled. Thus, discharge turns into powder and flakes, less dangerous instead of a dangerous thick paste.
