Products

Wiped Film (Short Path) Stills & Evaporators

Pope designs and fabricates basic to complex systems using the Wiped Film Short Path Process for stills, evaporators and hybrid configurations that include fractional columns with distillation units, condensors, evaporation and processing vessels that meet our customer's application requirments, with superior results.

Fractional Distillation Systems

The ideal separation of volatile components (fractionation) can be achieved using Pope's state-of-the-art line of fractional distillation systems, (Fractional Columns). Fractional distillation is particularly suitable for critical applications that require separation of complex mixtures such as fine chemicals, pharma-
ceuticals, foods, flavors, cosmetics, extracts, etc. - anywhere where a finer level of purity is needed or when component's boiling points are close.

Hybrid Wiped Film / Fractional Stills

These customized systems combine the multi-plate efficiency of Fractional Columns with the gentle reboiling effect of Wiped-Film Evaporators. This
proven Hybrid technology allows purification of heat-sensitive materials
similar in volativity, which could not otherwise be separated.

Portable Pressure Vessels & Vessel Systems

Pope's sturdy stainless steel portable pressure vessels let you handle a wide variety of sterile, high purity or flammable substances easily and safely.

Processing & Liquid Handling Systems

Pope Integrated Processing Systems are utilized in pilot plants and in
production of small batches of high-value products such as pharmaceuticals, intermediates, foods, and fine chemicals.

Nutsche Filters / Dryers

Ultra-high purity, pharmaceutical, and specialty solids are efficiently filtered, washed, agitated, reslurried and dried in a single portable device, minimizing contamination and exposure.
