True Boiling Point

Distillation according to ASTM D2892

EuroDist TBP-S

Advanced distillation system according to ASTM D2892

The ROFA EuroDist TBP-S impresses with its extended capacity and a completely modular construction. Thanks to the many practical functions and individual product features, this system becomes the perfect solution for every laboratory. The ROFA EuroDist TBP-S reliably handles distillation jobs with flask sizes up to 30 litres and keeps 20 receivers with a size of 500 or 1000 ml ready for your distillation output.

Distillation according to ASTM D2892

The distillation column has 15 -18 theoretical plates and complies fully with the ASTM D2892.

Different column packings are available:

  • Propac (mostly used)
  • Helipac
  • SulzerPac
  • Raschig-Rings (metal or glass)
  • others upon request

Also real plate columns are available. The distillation plant runs entirely automatically starting from debutanization at atmospheric pressure via several vacuum stages down to a minimum pressure of 1 Torr and a final cooling sequence.

Soft- and Hardware are constructed for unattended operation and fulfil today's laboratory safety requirements.

Fractions are collected and measured in their final receiver, which are sealed closed when a receiver is changed.

The butane fraction is collected in two gas traps. The cooling of the gas traps can be done by using dry ice or a thermostat (-60 °C).

ASTM D2892

The ASTM D2892, also called TBP (True Boiling Point) can fractionize crude oils from 15°C up to 420°C AET (atmospheric equivalent temperature) at pressure stages down to 1 Torr. The distillation column has 15 -18 theoretical plates and complies fully with the ASTM D2892.
