Steam distillation units BEGER SDU 100, SDU 200, etc.

Steam distillation units are designed for various tasks, for example:

• Determination of alcohol in wine and other alcoholic beverages.
• Isolation of volatile essential oils from vegetable raw materials, for example, for use in perfumery.
• Purification of fatty acids, for example, from tallow oil.
• Separation of compounds for the purpose of their quantitative determination, for example, for the release of free ammonia during the breakdown of proteins.
• Control of fermentation processes.
• Determination of ammonium chloride in licorice products.

The steam distillation procedure involves passing hot steam through the mixture to be distilled, which reduces the boiling point of the compounds. The condensate is collected and the resulting aqueous solution is to be quantified by titration.

Models: SDU 100, SDU 200, SDU 300, SDU 400.
