Vacuum distillation is a technique that uses a vacuum to extract analytes from a sample. A condensing column is used in the technique to condense water that may also be present in the sample. A cryogenically cooled trap (cryotrap) is used to condense the compounds of interest. During a vacuum distillation procedure a sample is evacuated to a low pressure vaporizing volatile compounds, including water. The condenser column retains vaporized water and those vaporized compounds that are not condensed in the column are frozen in the cryotrap.

CONT

The water not evaporated in the diffusion tower will be collected at the bottom as brine and pumped through the regeneration heater using a brine pump. The air/water mixture enters a condensing tower where the water vapor is condensed into fresh liquid water that is collected in the sump of the condenser.

CONT

... a 4-stage condensation column can easily produce a vapor product stream containing 85 wt% ethanol from a pervaporation permeate stream containing 35 wt% ethanol.
