Distillation Systems

PESCO-BEAM's owners and staff have two decades of experience designing, building, modifying and operating a variety of distillation systems.

If you want to distill low boiling aromatics and high boiling heavy oils or separate solvents from solids, oil, water, or other solvents; PESCO-BEAM can design, fabricate, transport, and commission your system. Our hands-on experience with distilling a wide range of solvents, including glycols, alcohols and oils, can help you maximize production and stay within your budget.

System Benefits

Our systems are flexible because we build with stainless steel components and employ standard distillation technology.

Our systems range from simple flash evaporators with scrubbers and entrainment separators to complex multi-column computer controlled distillation units.

We can combine evaporators with columns in order to perform multiple functions, such as separating mixed solvents from dirt and other solids and then separating the various solvents from each other.

PESCO-BEAM can incorporate quality used stainless steel components into its skid mounted units, which will considerably reduce your capital cost . Also, this approach can drastically reduce the fabrication timeline since the equipment is already available.

Distillation Process

1. We use atmospheric distillation to remove light ends, water, and gas-oil.

2. This is followed by high vacuum thin film evaporators which operate at moderately high temperatures to recover the lube oil fraction.

3. The temperatures and pressures ensure no “cracking” of the lube fractions. The Asphaltene and solids exiting the system can be used for roads, or low grade bunker 6.

4. The final step is a clay filtration through a multi-column fullers earth system.

5. After each cycle the clay is re-activated and then used again. The filtration removes color, odor and sulfur making the product much more attractive and saleable.

6. The result is near virgin quality oil which can be used as a base lube or as a high quality fuel for marine engines, power generation or boilers.
