Fatty Acid Distillation Tower

Fatty Acid Distillation Tower Function and Working Method

The Fatty Acid Distillation Tower operates by heating fatty acids using high - pressure steam. The steam provides the necessary thermal energy to raise the temperature of the fatty acids to around 260℃ . In a vacuum environment created within the tower, the boiling points of the fatty acid fractions are lowered, allowing them to vaporize at lower temperatures than under normal pressure. This enables the separation of different fractions based on their boiling points. The vaporized fractions are then condensed and collected separately, resulting in purified fatty acid components.
