What Is a Distillation System Setup?
A Distillation System Setup is engineered arrangement of equipment used to separate liquid mixtures based on differences in boiling points.
A complete setup typically includes:
- Reboiler or heating vessel
- Distillation column (packed or tray)
- Condenser
- Reflux divider
- Receiver tanks
- Temperature, pressure & flow instrumentation
- Automation & safety interlocks
Pilon Engineering builds these systems as modular, skid‑mounted units for easy installation and scale‑up.
