Fraktionarsäule
The Fraktionärsäule, also known as a "fractional column" or "fractionating column," is a specialized piece of equipment used in chemical engineering and industrial processes to separate mixtures into their individual components based on differences in their boiling points. This technique is fundamental in distillation processes, particularly in the refining of petroleum, production of chemicals, and purification of substances.
The column operates on the principle of fractional distillation, where a mixture is heated to vaporize its
Fraktionärsäulen are designed with varying heights and diameters depending on the complexity of the separation required.
Applications of the Fraktionärsäule span across industries, including petroleum refining, where crude oil is separated into
