11.5.7.1. Emission-free Distillation System Maintenance (Optional Equipment)

Distillation residues can be pumped off into a disposal vessel using an additional sludge pump.
When the still maintenance is finished, ventilate the still after the distillation system has cooled off
(green lamp). Now you can pump off the residue with program P55.
Warning: Before starting the emission-free disposal of destillation
open the ball valve between the valve Y 143 and vat and make sure
that the vat is connected.
Remarks on distillation:
Fill the still only up to the lower edge of the sight-glass.
When solvent containing water is distilled, the distillate becomes slightly cloudy as a result of the
water traces.
The distillation performance is reduced if you do not remove distillation residues from the still daily.
This also increases the risk of boiling over and increases the solvent consumption.
When operating with Economy filters without filter powder, the distillation residue is liquid.
This means that there will not be an increase in the consumption of solvent involved if the distillation
equipment is used correctly.
If the distillation unit boils over, empty and clean the water separator and the extraction tank with
program P54 (if necessary, distill the contents of the clean tank). The distillation cleans the
condenser and the flash tank automatically.
