Nutsche Filter Dryer (ANFD)

Customized Hybrid Fractionating Column systems combine the multi-plate efficiency of fractional columns with the gentle reboiling effect of Wiped-Film Evaporators. This proven Hybrid technology allows the purification of heat-sensitive materials similar in volatility, which could not otherwise be separated...

Stainless Steel Process VesselsSince 1975, Pope has provided stainless steel process vessels to industrial and academic research laboratories and industries of all kinds. Beginning with standardized pressure vessels for holding and dispersing solutions, Pope over the years, also offered special vessels, re...

Pope Scientific designs and fabricates basic to complex systems using the wiped-film short-path distillation process (also called thin-film distillation) for stills, evaporators and hybrid configurations that include fractional columns with wiped-film distillation units, centr...

Pope Scientific Inc., a prominent figure in processing technologies since 1963, proudly announces the launch of its CE-certified series of wiped-film still systems. Renowned for their efficiency and precision, these systems represent a significant advancement in distillation technology, adhering to the highest health, safety, and environmental standards set forth by the European Union.

The CE-certified series, comprised of Pope’s 2”, 4”, and 6” still sizes, bears the model designations WFC-200, WFC-400, and WFC-600 respectively. The first unveiling of the WFC-200 model will take place at ACHEMA 2024, showcasing Pope’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the field.

Distillation is an important method for the separation and purification of liquids in a wide range of industries and laboratories. Fractional stills often operate under pressure or vacuum and have a reflux device section for controlling and optimizing purity vs. throughput rate, however, these and several other topics of distillation equipment are not covered here. In this article, we will take a look at the two different types of fractional distillation; batch mode and continuous mode.

Pope Vessels and integrated Processing systems are utilized in production, pilot plants and labs for processing pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, foods, specialty chemicals, etc.

Pope Scientific offers a wide variety of stainless-steel portable pressure vessels,

reactors, blenders, and fully turnkey processing systems. Our portable pressure

vessels are all manufactured, certified and permanently stamped according to

ASME Section VIII requirements to ensure safety. They are available in a wide array

of sizes, finishes and additional customizable options.

For unique applications, traditional and highly customized reactors are offered, as

well as fermenters, dispensers, mixing or homogenizing units, hydrogenators, evaporators,

distilling boiling pots, and other dedicated or general use vessel systems.

We also offer complete, custom processing systems for clients. These systems

often incorporate many items peripheral to a process vessel or reactor, including

additional vessels, filter systems, chillers, heaters, pumps, heat exchangers,

condensers, load cells, powered lifts, vacuum systems, fractionating columns and

other components, as well as recorders, controls or computer/PLC control systems.

Skid mounting or portable heavy carts are offered.

Pope’s experienced application specialists are available to discuss specific

requirements and engineer a total solution for your unique application. Contact
