Distillation equipment for large reactors
Efficiently achieve high-purity separations and syntheses with distillation equipment designed for seamless integration with large reactors, ensuring optimal reaction control and product refinement in demanding applications.

Enables Reaction, Distillation, and Separation Processes
The Distillation Equipment for Reactors from De Dietrich Process Systems combines glass-lined steel reactors with borosilicate glass attachments, optimizing reaction and distillation in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It excels in producing high-purity APIs, vitamins, and specialty chemicals. Operating in batch or continuous modes, it enables precise reactions, rectification, and phase separation at atmospheric pressure or vacuum conditions. Its borosilicate glass 3.3 construction ensures superior corrosion resistance and visual process monitoring. The setup includes PTFE bellows for flexible connection, accommodating up to 10,000-liter vessels. Equipped with measuring and control devices, including thermometers and flow meters, it integrates seamlessly into production lines, offering options in stainless steel or glass-lined materials for enhanced durability. The equipment supports GMP and FDA compliance and is customizable to meet specific plant requirements.
