Industry Applications
The DIST D-5236 CC is used across industries that require precise distillation of heavy hydrocarbon mixtures and crude oil.
Detailed Features Breakdown
The DIST D-5236 CC is designed to handle the demanding requirements of distillation of heavy hydrocarbon. Key features include:
Provides stable conditions for deep cuts and maintains pressures suited for challenging samples. This vacuum control supports up to 565 C without risking product integrity.
Automatically collect separated fractions in a controlled environment, minimizing fluctuations and providing accurate weight data.
Captures residual vapors during the test process, keeping the column and other components clean.
Tracks vapor temperature, pressure, and other parameters throughout the system. Users can make rapid adjustments to the column settings and view immediate feedback.
Offers a streamlined interface for managing test operations, recording key measurements, and generating detailed reports for regulatory or research needs.
Benefits of Using the DIST D-5236 CC
The DIST D-5236 CC is one of the best vacuum distillation solutions available for its reliable handling of crude oil and heavy hydrocarbon mixtures:
Consistent performance
Automated controls and a stable vacuum environment reduce operator intervention and help achieve reproducible results.
Regulatory confidence
Adheres strictly to ASTM D5236, confirming accurate data on atmospheric equivalent temperature and ensuring that products meet specification requirements.
Efficient workflow
Fast fraction collection, easy charge or addition of samples, and robust temperature control simplify the entire distillation process.
Versatile applications
Handles varied samples within a single system, so research teams and production facilities can explore different distillation strategies without switching equipment.
