*Highest safety level

The Video Distillation VD10 revolutionizes distillation testing by bringing unmatched automation

and precision to the analysis of atmospheric distillation of petroleum products.

Video camera assisted algorithm (patent pending) applies optimum flask heating to respect

standard method conditions for IBP, 5% timings and distillation rate control.

Like an experienced operator of a manual distillation the VD10 monitors in real time the sample

behavior in the flask and powerful algorithm analyses all phases of sample boiling to anticipate and

predict the optimal heater settings.

No need for any programming or optimization, perfect distillation run from a first shot even for

unknown or difficult samples like biofuels.

Applications

Based on its advanced technology and reliability, the VD10 is perfectly suited for finished products

(Gasoline, Kerosene, Aviation Turbine Fuels, Diesel Fuels, Solvents, …), as well as for process streams,

blending components, difficult samples, like biofuels containing ethanol, and research work.

Operation

Intelligent video system assists operator by checking proper installation of flask, probe and heater plate.

The VD10 advanced control algorithm uses image analysis to perfectly control the distillation run.

The entire procedure is fully automated: heating the flask, regulating the condenser and receiver temperatures,

measuring vapor temperatures and volume, detecting IBP, FBP and recording all data. At the end of the test, the

heater is automatically lowered and cooled down quickly.

Results are displayed, saved, printed, sent to LIMS.
