PETRODIST 400

Turn key processor controlled and combined crude oil distillation system for automatic operation according to ASTM D-2892 (TBP) and ASTM D-5236 (Potstill).
    
The PetroDist 400 is a combination of the basic systems

    *    PetroDist 100 (ASTM-D-2892)
    *    PetroDist 200 (ASTM-D-5236)

The system enables to perform TBP- and Potstill - distillations of various crude samples according to the a. m. ASTM-standards.
Laboratory design incl. protective sheathing and integrated control system, with safety system.

The system is micro processor controlled with automatic fraction collector and
direct automatic distillation flow rate control.
The fraction/receiver changes are automatically performed according to preselected cut temperatures or in case of receiver overfilling. The fraction collector is equipped with 12 receivers. The final data and the TBP-curve in wt% and vol% are printed out after reweighing the residue.
The fraction collector, vacuum supply, cryo/ thermostat and data station are used for both units.

The unit requires water, nitrogen, compressed air and electricity. Dry ice or liquid nitrogen is required for cold traps.

The combination system consists of two separate distillation systems. Both systems are alternatively operated by one central control system, Vacuum, cooling, fraction collector and evaluation system. The system has proved to be reliable in practical operation, as the non-used Equipment is constantly available for the preparation of the next following distillation. The no load period  time of the plant is very short. The combined unit PETRODIST 400 consists of a basis system for the assembly of all parts. All specific electrical, mechanical and pneumatically control elements are mounted in a frame. The integrated PILODIST control system with a computer control unit and all other necessary components for automatic operation are installed.
