Distillation technology benefitting clients worldwide

For decades, Pope has been dedicated to serving customers across diverse industries, enhancing existing products, and innovating new ones with proven distillation technology. The company provides equipment (now CE-certified), process development, and toll processing services. Tailored strategies and equipment types are used to meet the unique requirements of different applications, ensuring optimal product quality, yield, and profitability.

Wiped film stills

Also known as Short Path Stills, Molecular Stills, and Thin Film Evaporators, these are the best choice for materials high in heat sensitivity, BP, MW, and/or viscosity. These provide minimised thermal degradation via quick heat exposure time at high vacuum. Examples include pharmaceuticals, flavours, edible oils, biomaterials, cannabinoids, polymers, lubricants, electronic materials, specialty chemicals, many more.

Wiped film evaporators

Also known as WFE’s, these have similarities to Molecular Stills, including rotating internal wipers, short residence time and gentle evaporation. However, they have external rather than internal condensers of high surface area and are best suited for driving off large percentages of solvents and concentrating dilute products.

Hybrid wiped film evaporator-fractionators  

Combining the advantages of gentle WFE evaporation and multiple theoretical plate packed columns to separate heat sensitive components close in BP, these systems have solved and commercialised some of the most difficult distillation operations. Pope is the world leader in this technology. Examples include Omega-3 concentration, natural flavour customisation, biomaterials, many more.

Fractional column still systems

Specialising in stainless steel batch and continuous mode distillation systems from 1” to 18” diameters for pilot and production plants, Pope can address your multipurpose or specific application requirements.
