Wiped Film Molecular Distillation Plants
Molecular Distillation process is characterised by short residence time at the operating temperature, high heat transfer coefficient, absence of hotspots, possibility of continuous operation, low working pressures of the order of 0.001 mbar. The feed material is fed to the wiped film molecular distillation plant, a unique roller-wiper system 'wipes' this liquid on the heated evaporator. The centrally located condenser condenses the vapour, to get the required fraction condensed. Material handled in the WFMD: Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Monoglycerides, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, Silicone oils, perfumery and flavours, essential oils , petrolium industry including waste lube oil re-refining.
