Short path evaporator for fatty acids

Country:
Belgium

Instruments:
Pilodist SP1000-CC

Project:
The system will be used for the separation of fatty acids from algae and insects, reaching atmospheric equivalent boiling points (AET) up to 500°C. Furthermore, the SP1000-CC will also serve to deodorize and determine the discoloration of fatty acids fractions, fractionation of pyrolysis products based on lignin, plastics, and biomass.  The very high AET’s require the use of an oil diffusion pump in combination with a dry vacuum scroll pump down to 10-5 mbar.
