Batch and Continuous Distillation are two distinct methods of separating liquids based on their boiling points. They are tailored for different industrial needs depending on the volume and scale of operation.

Batch Distillation

• How It Works: A fixed amount (batch) of liquid is loaded into the distillation setup, processed entirely, and then replaced with a new batch.

• Features:

• Operates step-by-step, making it suitable for small-scale operations or industries with varying requirements.
• Offers flexibility to handle different mixtures in successive batches.

 Applications:

• Pharmaceutical industry for small-scale purification of active ingredients.
• Food processing to extract essential oils and Flavors.
• Chemical labs for precise separation of substances.

Advantages:

• Ideal for products that require frequent changes in mixture or components.
• Easier to control for small-scale processes.
