World's largest shorth-path evaporator system delivered by UIC
2024.12.18

Short path distillation is the method of choice for these challenging applications because it isperformed under vacuum, which lowers the boiling points. This allows gentle distillation at lowertemperatures, avoiding the risk of thermal degradation and unwanted byproducts.
UIC collaborated with the customer from the beginning of the process development, conductingseveral tests in laboratories, fi rst on glass laboratory equipment and then on stainless steel pilotplants, to determine the optimal distillation technology and parameters. These efforts, coupledwith the customer‘s production volume, led to the design, construction and delivery of the record-breaking evaporator. Commissioning took place in September 2024.
In addition to the evaporator, UIC also supplied upstream product treatment process and asophisticated cold-trap system. To achieve the extremely low operating pressures the companyin-stalled a robust and high performing vacuum pump system consisting of multiple pump stages.ƒ The short path evaporator is manufactured to be leak-proof, despite its immense size.
To guarantee the process operated with a high vacuum, the measured leakage rate was so lowthat, in purely mathematical terms, it would take more than four years for the pressure in thesystem to rise from vacuum to ambient pressure, according to UIC.
