Iran-Made Vacuum Distillation Device Separates Hydrocarbons from Oil
“Vacuum distillation device based on the ASTM 1160D standard, atmospheric distillation device based on the ASTM 86D standard, diesel engine oil corrosion device, and semi-automatic closed ignition device are among the products or our company,” said Moslem Mashayekhi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
Elaborating on the performance of the vacuum distillation device based on the ASTM 1160D standard, he said, “This test method is used to determine the distillation features of petroleum products that may decompose if distilled at atmospheric pressure. The data obtained from this method can be used as a characteristic of petroleum products, which often include limitations of the distillation process.”
Mashayekhi explained that vacuum distillation is one of the best laboratory and industrial methods used to separate substances in liquid solutions, saying, “In this method, the desired solution is placed under vacuum, which lowers the temperature of the solution. As a result, the dissolved substances can be separated from each other with less energy.”
“Using the vacuum distillation method is suitable for solutions in which the substances in them have a high evaporation temperature and also a high boiling point in the atmosphere,” he added.
“The products of this company are used in the oil, gas and petrochemical industries, including oil distribution and refining companies, mini-refineries, private sector laboratories and the Standards Organization,” Mashayekhi said.
The distillation device (apparatus) consists of a vessel for plant material and water, a condenser to cool and condense the vapour produced and a method of collection, or 'receiver'.
Material from the appropriate part of the plant for extraction is immersed in water in the distillation vessel.
