Lab • Pilot Plant • Production
Seperate, evaporate, concentrate, purify, using superior process of short residence time low temperature without degradation. Sample configurations for either distillation, evaporation, concentration are shown below. The key to the most efficent thermal technique is utilizing Pope's custom approach for your application.

From labscale to pilot plant to production scale, our precision configurations are ideally suited to your applications. Offering a wide range of materials and components.

Still Versions
Wiped-Film Molecular (Short-Path) Still.
This design is selected where the distillate is of high boiling point. High vacuum (to 0.001 torr) and a close proximity internal condenser are utilized.Wiped-Film Evaporator (WFE). This design is selected where there is a significant percentage of moderate or low boiling distillate. Medium vacuum (to 0.1 torr) and a high surface area external condenser are utilized.

Hybrid Still.
Designed using WFE and Fractional Column technology, for simplicity when separating materials that have close boiling points. Versatile design allows configuration for Molecular (short-path) Distillation, Evaporation, or Fractionation, plus choice of glass, 316L SS, Hastelloy, other materials. High vacuum operation is possible. Ideal for exploring the technology or for processing materials with throughputs up to 1000 kg/hr are available.
