DIST D-1160 CC Vacuum Distillation System
Automatic distillation system for atmospheric and vacuum distillation processes in accordance with ASTM D1160
- General Details
Fully automatic processor controlled ASTM D1160 Distillation System for the determination of boiling ranges of crude oil products under vacuum. The system can be operated in strict accordance to the ASTM D1160 procedure with 1 single receiver or alternatively, by using an option to include automatic fraction collector with 5 receivers.
Key Features:
- Parameter input, display as well as calculation of distillation and final data and print out of the distillation curve via PC
- Easy operation due to userfriendly software, operated under WINDOWS XP
- Sophisticated safety system
- Automatic heating and distillation rate as well as detection of initial boiling point (ibp)
- Individual distillation reports and curves can be re-called any time
- Precise distillation data due to automatic calibration of volume measuring system
- Anti foaming by foam breaker
- Precise vacuum control
- Automatic washing run
- Calculation of charge according to receiver temperature and charge density
- Easy installation effort as the system is delivered ready for operation
- Manual override of automatic operation
- Automatic controlled termination of distillation process and start of cooling
- Optional fraction collector with 5 receivers
The distillation volume is recorded fully automatically from the initial boiling point to the pre-selected end boiling point or detected break-off.
ASTM D1160 Distillation System Criteria For Break-Off Are:
- Pre-selected final AET (atmospheric equivalent temperature) is reached
- Maximum bath temperature is reached
- Maximum flask temperature is reached
- Pre-selected distillate volume is reached
- Flask insert cracks
- Distillate pressure drops
- Product lack in the flask
The distillation volume is measured automatically in receivers which are temperature controlled by an IR-heater. The yield is calculated in percentage to the charge quantity. As a result, ASTM D1160 Distillation System report, final data and distillation curve are printed out.
There are manual, semi-automatic and full-atomatic models of DIST D-1160 Distillation System.
