How Do You Design a Vacuum System That Slashes Downtime and Energy Costs?
Your industrial vacuum system is failing, causing constant downtime and high energy bills. These aren’t just minor issues; they are deep flaws in the system’s design. A high-performance vacuum system is designed holistically, focusing on three core areas: smart pre-filtration to protect components, strategic heat management to maintain efficiency, and proper sizing of every part—from […]

When Should You Use Vacuum Distillation Instead of Normal Distillation?
You need to purify a liquid, but you know that heating it to its boiling point will destroy it. This common problem can turn a simple separation into a costly failure, ruining your valuable product. You must use vacuum distillation when purifying compounds with very high boiling points or those that are thermally sensitive. Lowering […]
