Simple Batch Distillation Apparatus

The equipment consists of a distillation still made of stainless steel. The feed in the still is heated externally by heater. The vapous form the top of the vessel is condensed in the type condenser by circulating cooling water. Temperature of the feed mixture is controlled by means of a digital temperature Controller. The condensate is collected in a receiver made of stainless steel.
