VD10 Video Distillation
VD10 Video Distillation Description

The Video Distillation VD10 revolutionizes distillation testing by bringing unmatched automation and precision to the analysis of atmospheric distillation of petroleum products.
Powered by innovation, the VD10 analyzer revolutionizes this routine analysis of petroleum products by providing unparalleled automation and precision.
The powerful algorithm assisted by video camera (patent pending) analyzes in real time the boiling behavior of the sample in the flask during the distillation run and applies optimal heating to strictly respect conditions of the chosen method.
As an experienced manual distillation operator, visual monitoring allows the VD10 to detect boiling changes early enough to anticipate the appropriate heating regulation to reach IBP, 5% in given time, and the distillation rate control. No need for programming or optimization, the video distillation test is perfect from the first try even for unknown or difficult samples like biofuels. This advanced technology is fully backed by a certified VD10 Video Distillation Supplier dedicated to supporting laboratories and refineries throughout the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
