Distillation

In surface technology, distillation plays an important role in the preparation of solvents and cleaning fluids used in various processes. Distillation is a process for separating liquids based on their different boiling points. This process is often used to regenerate used solvents and cleaning fluids and make them reusable for further applications in surface technology.

The distillation process begins by heating the mixture to be cleaned in a distillation flask. As the components of the mixture have different boiling points, they evaporate one after the other. The vapors are then passed through a condenser, which liquefies them again. In this way, the different components of the mixture can be separated and collected. In surface technology, distillation systems are often used to remove impurities from used cleaning solutions or solvents and to treat them so that they can be used again. Distillation can effectively remove unwanted residues, impurities or contaminants that have accumulated during the cleaning process, returning the cleaning liquids to their original state.

In addition, distillation enables the efficient recovery and reuse of valuable solvents or cleaning fluids, which can lead to cost savings and a reduction in waste. This is particularly important as many solvents and cleaning fluids used in surface technology are expensive and require environmentally friendly disposal methods.

By using distillation systems, surface technology companies can reduce their operating costs and environmental impact while improving the quality and efficiency of their cleaning processes. However, careful planning and monitoring of distillation processes is required to ensure that the treated solvents or cleaning fluids meet the required standards and are safe for reuse.
