We can receive mixed solvents for separation in virtually any size container. Processing is carried out in our custom designed fractional distillation system. Our technology can achieve purities up to 99.9%. With Tradebe's Fractional Distillation, leftover or unwanted by-products can be used in our fuel blending program while finished products can be returned to industry for reuse. Fractional distillation is a precisely controlled process and another way the Tradebe team actively conserves resources by reclaiming spent solvents.
In our system, liquid is raised to boiling and vapors pass through a tubular column where temperatures are gradually lowered along its length. Components (fractions) with a higher boiling point condense on the column and return to the solution. Fractions with a lower boiling point pass through the column and are collected. Gasoline, kerosene and naphtha are fractions separated from crude oil using fractional distillation.
