EuroDist Potstill-R
Rapid distillation jobs according to ASTM D5236
The ROFA EuroDist Potstill-R for rapid distillation jobs impresses with its space-saving framework and a completely modular construction. The unit is able to distil crude oil from gas fraction to 565°C (AET). It allows to fractionize crude oil from LPG up to 565 °C in around 3.5 hours. The system is using dynamically pressure reduction from atmospheric pressure to 0.1 Torr. Moreover, the unit can work as a standard Potstill unit and run distillation fully conform to ASTM D5236. The ROFA EuroDist Potstill-R reliably handles distillation jobs with flask sizes from 4 up to 6 litres and keeps 10 receivers with a size of 500 ml ready for your distillation output.

ASTM D5236
The ASTM D 5236 (Potstill) can fractionize crude oil or crude oil residue from 150°C up to 570 °C (at atmospheric equivalent temperature); from atmospheric or 10 Torr pressure down to a vacuum of 0.1 Torr.
