—— Operation

Feed liquid is admitted into still under high vacuum, immediately spread into a very thin film and forced quickly down the evaporation surface. Heated walls and high vacuum drive the more volatile components (distillate) to the external condenser as the less volatile components (residue) continue down the cylinder. The resulting fractions, thus separated, exit through individual discharge outlets. Depending on application, the desired product is either the distillate or the residue fraction. Small amounts of condensable low MW compounds collect in cold trap upstream of vacuum system. For high solvent loads, an optional external condenser may be installed immediately downstream of the still.

Molecular Distillation Equipments were developed in the 1930s and 1940s mainly in the UK and in the USA. In Molecular Distillation Equipment , the produced vapours do not have contact with the liquid any more. The number of theoretical stages is 1 at a small distillate rate and may rise up to 2.2 at a higher evaporation rate. A first Molecular Distillation Equipment is used to distill off a fraction that meets the quality demands, but at a poor yield; too much of the light fraction remains in the residue. This residue is then distilled in a second still where the light fraction is removed completely unfortunately together with heavier components. This mixture is then recycled into the feed stream to the first short path evaporator. Molecular Distillation Equipment is used in the production of lactic acid, paraffin wax, monoglycerides, omega‐3 fatty acids, and monomers.
