Short path molecular distillation typically includes a distillation tower, a heater, and a condenser. Distillation towers typically consist of columns with multiple layers, each with an inlet and outlet. The heater can be an electric heater. The condenser is usually a pipe with cooling liquid circulation inside.
Short path molecular distillation can be used in the following fields:
Petrochemical industry: used to separate various components in crude oil, such as gasoline, diesel, and lubricating oil.
Pharmaceutical: used for extracting and purifying drugs and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Food processing: used to separate and purify ingredients in food, such as sugar and fat.
