Helping Businesses Create High-purity, High-quality Products

How Distillation Works

Distillation is a separation method based on the differences in boiling points of different substances. Distillation uses heating to vaporize the lower-boiling-point components in a liquid mixture, which are then cooled and collected in a condenser, thereby separating and purifying the components. The core steps include:

Heating: The mixture is heated in a still or distillation column, gradually reaching the boiling points of the different components.

Evaporation: Substances with lower boiling points evaporate preferentially, turning into vapors and rising.

Condensation: The vapor is cooled in a condenser and then converted back into a liquid, yielding the target product of higher purity.

Collection: Condensates from different temperature ranges are collected separately, thus achieving separation and purification of the material.

While this principle is simple, in actual industry, distillation equipment often requires complex designs, such as multi-stage condensation, vacuum operation, and distillation trays, to achieve higher purity and lower energy consumption.

Applications of Distillation Equipment

Distillation equipment covers nearly all industries requiring liquid separation and purification:

Food and alcohol brewing

Production of distilled alcohol such as baijiu, whiskey, vodka, rum, and beer.

Fruit wine and plant spice extraction.

Pharmaceutical and bioengineering

Purification of pharmaceutical solvents and preparation of water for injection.

Purification and separation of active ingredients.

Chemical and fine chemicals

Separation of organic solvents and chemical raw materials.

Preparation of high-purity chemical reagents.

Aroma and essential oil extraction

Extraction of high-value-added products such as rose essential oil and lavender oil.

Widely used in the cosmetics and perfume industries.

Core Advantages of Distillation Equipment:

High Separation Precision

Distillation equipment efficiently separates components based on boiling point differences, achieving purities of 95%–99% or higher.

Wide Application

Whether it's alcohol, essential oils, pharmaceutical solutions, or chemical solvents, distillation technology provides a reliable solution.
