PETRODIST 200 CC Fully Automatic – Potstill

PETRODIST 200 CC – Automated Vacuum Potstill Distillation System is an essential tool for laboratories and refineries analyzing heavy hydrocarbon mixtures. Its automated operation, advanced features, and focus on safety and efficiency make it a valuable asset for meeting the demands of ASTM D-5236 testing. It represents the culmination of extensive experience and customer feedback, resulting in a significantly improved design focused on performance, ease of handling, and reduced maintenance. This new edition addresses the challenges of processing high-viscosity residues, ensuring continuous and temperature-controlled discharge into an open fraction collector with automatic and precise weight measurement. This processor-controlled system automates the vacuum potstill distillation of heavy hydrocarbon mixtures according to ASTM D-5236. It is designed for fully automatic operation and evaluation, requiring no user intervention during the distillation process. A dedicated data station is provided for data input, display, and printing of all operational parameters, distillation results, and distillation curves.
