Atmospheric Distillation
Atmospheric distillation is a fundamental test method used to characterize petroleum products by measuring their boiling range distribution under standardized atmospheric conditions. It provides crucial information about the volatility, composition, and quality of fuels and distillates used in refineries, laboratories, and quality assurance environments.
PAC’s atmospheric distillation technology delivers fully automated, precise, and repeatable measurements that comply with ASTM D86, ISO 3405, and related international standards. The system ensures consistent and reliable results with advanced temperature control and digital volume detection.
The instrument operates with high-resolution temperature sensors and precision heating elements, allowing accurate detection of initial boiling point (IBP), final boiling point (FBP), and distillation curves across various fuel types such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel.
With its integrated cooling and condensation control, the system provides stable temperature management for both vapor and condenser phases, ensuring minimal sample loss and superior reproducibility of distillation data across repeated runs.
The technology supports a broad temperature measurement range up to 400°C, enabling testing of light and heavy fractions within the same setup. Automated sample handling and built-in safety features reduce operator exposure and ensure full compliance with modern laboratory safety requirements.
The automated operation minimizes manual intervention and subjective observation, improving testing efficiency while ensuring traceable, digital results. This level of automation enhances throughput and accuracy in both research and routine quality control environments.
Atmospheric distillation data is essential for process optimization, fuel blending, and refinery control, providing insights into product performance, stability, and regulatory compliance. It supports decision-making in refining operations, ensuring consistent product quality and market readiness.
By combining automation, precision, and robust temperature management, PAC’s atmospheric distillation solutions deliver dependable data that supports laboratories and refineries worldwide in achieving consistent performance, safety, and efficiency in fuel characterization.
