Semi-automatic micro distillation

- bench scale crude oil distillation system for semi-automatic operation
- quick distillation of small crude oil charges
- automatic fraction collector (optional)
- column packed with Propak 4 mm
- distillation process following ASTM D-2892
- no ASTM – standard applies due to charge size but strong correlation to ASTM D-2892

The system consists of:

1 assembly unit with all necessary holders

1 distillation column, DN 18, packed height 480 mm, including take-off divider in the liquid phase with silvered high-
vacuum mantle. Column with integrated main condenser and distillate cooler, complete with packing, Propak 316,
4 mm, solenoid coil for the take-off divider, with head temperature sensor Pt-100 (or equivalent column)

1 isomantle heating bath for 500ml flask with temperature sensor Pt-100 and integrated stirrer drive, insulation jacket
for the upper half of the flask,

1 distillation flask 500 ml

1 tower mantle with integrated Pt-100, for control and display

5 final receivers 100 ml

1 intermediate receiver with teflon-cock for receiver exchange during vacuum operation

1 Distillation control Device DCD4001
Computer-controlled Device for PILODIST Distillation systems with all necessary and peripheral components.
Contains the operation and control elements for all parameters like Temperature, Vacuum, Reflux Divider, Limit and
Alarm system, Fraction collector. The actual parameters can be displayed in graphical curves to inform the operator
about the actual status. The set Parameters can be saved as recipes and reloaded.

The control system is based on a multifunctional serial bus system, connected to a PC with our new and most modern windows based operation software.

The distillation control device is delivered with:
1 DCD 4001 controller unit
1 PILODIST touch screen (15,6”) panel PC with operational software & WIFI stick

1 set Vacuum Equipment, consisting of:
1 vacuum pump, 2-stage, 10 m3/h (Edwards)
1 vacuum cold trap with condensate trap to collect LPG
1 buffer vessel
1 connecting piece made of glass, buffer vessel / pump
1 vacuum measuring probe 100-0.1 torr (MKS)
1 vacuum solenoid valve with throttle valve,
1 set of sealings and connections
