Lab Distillation Column Options

Many chemists are familiar with standard Vigreux distillation column (left). These columns can be challenging to model on the lab scale. Fortunately, there are alternatives for process design at the lab scale such as a glass tray column (middle) and the jacketed version (right) for better heat transfer. These columns tend to model better and provide more insights into process scale-up. Find out how we couple computational chemistry, computational engineering, and experimentation for process development.
