Reaction Distillation Unit - Industrial-Grade Precision & Efficiency
product overview
The Reaction Distillation Unit is a highly versatile system designed for industrial distillation, reaction, and fractional separation processes. Engineered for high efficiency, this unit seamlessly combines reaction and distillation in a single apparatus, making it ideal for chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and R&D applications.
Designed to operate under atmospheric pressure and vacuum conditions, the unit consists of a high-quality reaction vessel, heating/cooling bath, reflux divider, condenser, product cooler, and receiver system. It ensures precise temperature control, efficient phase separation, and minimal product loss, making it an essential solution for industrial-scale production and laboratory-scale pilot plants.
How Does the Reaction Distillation Unit Work? (Step-by-Step Process)
- Loading the Reaction Vessel: The raw materials or reactants are added into the reaction vessel.
- Heating & Stirring: The heating bath maintains optimal temperature, while the mechanical stirrer ensures uniform mixing.
- Reaction Phase: Controlled heating initiates the desired chemical reaction within the vessel.
- Distillation Process: Vapors generated during the reaction move through the packed distillation column.
- Condensation & Reflux Control: The vapors condense via a coil-type condenser, with an adjustable reflux ratio to maximize separation.
- Product Cooling & Collection: The final product is cooled via the product cooler before collection in the receiver system.
- Drainage & Final Output: Unwanted residues are drained through the flush bottom valve.
