Distillation is the process of turning liquid mixtures into pure alcohol through boiling and condensation reactions. Utilizing the fact that different substances have different boiling points, increasing temperature within a vaporized mixture allows you to isolate individual components into their component parts and separate them for reuse or recycling. Each component serves a distinct function. […]

Distillation is a centuries-old and highly reliable technology for purifying liquids and separating mixtures, widely utilized across industries that rely on chemical purity – such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, oil & gas production and food manufacturing. Unfortunately however, distillation can be energy intensive and time consuming – this article explores ways distillation could be improved to […]

Alcohol distillation is an intricate process requiring much skill and intuition. Distillation has been around since medieval times; today a basic still consists of cooling pipes to absorb any heat generated by alcohol vapors. After condensing into alcohol vapors, they’re collected in a long container known as a receiver for further distillation. Distillate from this […]

Alcohol distillation is used extensively within the food industry to create an array of products, from alcoholic beverages and flavored milks, through flavorings and sauces, all requiring strict standards of hygiene and quality control in order to meet safety regulations. Distillation is an integral component of food manufacturing processes, ensuring that finished products are free […]

Distillation is an increasingly popular process used to transform fermented products like wine, beer and cider into spirits with higher alcohol concentrations. Yet distillation doesn’t just enhance flavors; there’s more to a spirit’s taste than its ethanol content alone – its taste comes from organic chemical compounds known as congeners that give each spirit unique […]
