How to Choose the Right Fractional Distillation Column: Packed vs Tray
It was just past 4 a.m. when the night shift called me from a Vapi specialty plant. Their column was flooded. Pressure had blown past every alarm. By the time I picked up, the operators had already shut the reboiler and were watching liquid back up over the top trays. The column was six months […]
Benefits of Using Borosilicate Glass Reactors for High-Temperature Processes
Are you currently working in chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing? Then you must know just how tricky high-temperature reactions can become. For optimal performance, you need to handle both heat and corrosion of your equipment. Moreover, you also need to see what is happening inside in real time. That is exactly what using borosilicate glass reactors […]
What Are the Key Components of a Fractional Distillation Unit?
Fractional distillation is widely used in petroleum refining, chemical processing, and alcohol production, often involving multi-stage separation and multiple product streams. It is an extremely important separation process. This is particularly true for industrial needs. Even the fractional distillation unit is a complex piece of equipment in its own right. But once you understand each […]
Distillation vs Extraction: Choosing the Right Chemical Separation Technique
Have you ever tried to separate a mixture in chemical processing? How about doing it during pharmaceutical or food production? If you have tried to do it before, you already know how hard it can really be. Either the mixture fails to separate, or else the separation is not pure enough. Thankfully, we have two […]
What Is Borosilicate Glass: Types, Composition, and Properties
Have you ever thought about laboratory beakers? How could they withstand such extreme conditions? The answer is actually borosilicate. It is a type of glassware that has unique properties that make it stronger and more resilient. Such properties have made it popular not only in the laboratory but also in our homes. But what makes […]
The Role of Reactive Distillation in Reducing Process Steps and Costs
In most industrial chemical processes, two reactants combine to form a third product. This output is then usually purified before being used for the final product. But what if, instead of performing these two costly steps, you could achieve both in a single reaction? That is exactly what reactive distillation achieves. It combines chemical reactions […]
How to Select the Right Distillation System for Your Process (Simple vs. Fractional vs. Azeotropic)
Do you work with chemicals on a regular basis? Then you may already know how tough it can be to separate materials from a mixture. Often, you will work with just a simple solvent with a few solids loosely suspended. But in cases of two or more liquids, the separation can get a lot tougher. […]
