MINIDIST 1160-V6 AUTOMATIC VACUUM DISTILLATION - ASTM D1160

Description

ASTM D1160. Fully automatic distillation unit with the following features:
- No operator intervention from start to FBP 650 C AET
- Up to 10 analysis per day
- Easy operation in local mode and more versatile use in remote supervisor model with the dedicated software
- Ready for BIO FUELS and BIO OILS applications

Fully automatic distillation unit in accordance with ASTM D1160 method for the distillation of crude oil residue or lubricating cuts with automatic procedure from preheating to reduced pressure without any intervention of the operator up to the final boiling point FBP and automatic return to atmospheric pressure.
Distillazione di residui di petrolio greggio o tagli pesanti, con procedura automatica dal preriscaldamento alla riduzione di pressione senza alcun intervento dell’operatore fino al punto di ebollizione finale FBP e ritorno automatico alla pressione atmosferica.

This unit can carry out all types of discontinuous distillation of chemical and organic components for boiling temperatures up to 350°C under atmospheric pressure or at vacuum down to 0.1 mmHg being an atmospheric equivalent temperature (AET) of 600-650°C.
The operator can control the unit in local mode with all necessary functions; programming, storage of results, synoptic color display, curves display, diagnostic mode, data transfer and more.
The control unit, easily accessible inside cabinet consists of:
- A set of all electrotechnical elements necessary to activate the process elements such as pump, heaters, electrovalves, motors and so on.
- A built in industrial Pentium PC with all necessary process interfaces and software to control the distillation unit . A very user friendly software allowing the operator to control and visualize the status of the distillation in local mode.
All electro technical components used are of industrial grade and the access for maintenance is very easy. Each major element of the distillation unit is protected by fuses or power breakers. It also includes a main differential breaker, all power supplies and transformers, plus cooling fans.
