Distillation and Distillation Equipment

In simple language, distillation is a method of separating the components of a liquid mixture by using the process of boiling and condensation. The equipment used in the process of distillation is known as distillation equipment. Distillation is considered a unit operation because it comes under the larger chemical process and it can only be done with the help of distillation equipment. Distillation equipment has various uses commercially. For example, water is distilled by distillation equipment to remove impurities such as salt from seawater. Distillation equipment is also used for fermentation solutions to produce alcohol and acids. Distillation equipment is a distillation machine which is used to recycle the solvent.
