400L Stainless Steel Fractional Distillation System With 4 Meters Column Packed With Structured Packing

This week's featured project involves the design and supply of a comprehensive 400L stainless steel pilot-scale distillation system, engineered for precise separation and purification processes. The system centers a 400L main distillation vessel, constructed from SUS304 stainless steel with a three-layer insulated jacket. Designed for a working pressure of 2 bar (with a design pressure of 4 bar), it ensures both safety and durability. The kettle is equipped with an explosion-proof 1.1kW motor and gear reducer, driving a paddle-type agitator with variable speed control from 0 to 280 rpm for optimal mixing. Multiple ports on the kettle lid, including two sight glasses (one with integrated lighting), provide full operational visibility and flexibility for various process connections.

The separation efficiency is achieved through a 4-meter tall packed column, constructed from SUS304 in modular sections and filled with 700CY structured packing. To maintain precise temperature gradients, the column is wrapped with an electric heating mantle. Vapors are then efficiently condensed in a 3㎡ coil-type condenser before entering the reflux system. This system features a key component for process control: a reflux splitter equipped with a solenoid valve to accurately adjust the reflux ratio. All wetted parts, including the dual 100L stainless steel receiving tanks, the 2L cold trap with drain valve, piping, and fittings, are made of SUS304 stainless steel to ensure product purity and corrosion resistance.

The entire setup is governed by a centralized explosion-proof control cabinet, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments. As part of our turnkey service, we also provided reference design drawings to assist the client in fabricating the support platforms for the column and condenser. This project underscores our capability to deliver not just individual components, but a fully coordinated and high-performance distillation solution tailored to complex R&D and pilot-scale production requirements.
