7.18.1 Flash Tank

The condensate from the first fraction and then from the second fraction are recovered from the
distillation over the flash tank. During the distillation process, the flash tank is under the same
vacuum as the distillation system. The condensate from the first fraction (low-boiling solvents) runs
from the condenser to the flash tank. To drain the distillation system, the flash tank is disconnected
and vented. Draining is done to the extraction tank.
The condensate of the second fraction (cleaning solvent) is extracted in just the same way, but is
drained into the water separator. The level probe in the flash tank controls the draining.
