Herzog OptiDist

The evaporating characteristics of hydrocarbons have an important effect on their performance. The D86 distillation method allows characterizing the tendency of a fuel to vaporize.
Eighty years combined experience of the companies Walter Herzog and ISL in designing and manufacturing automatic distillation equipment, directed PAC in the development of the most revolutionary automated distillation analyzer ever built.
OptiDist is the State-of-the-Art Optimal Solution for performing atmospheric distillation offering highest precision and ease of use ever seen. Only the OptiDist enables truly “one button” straightforward operation. To start a test you just select the boiling group of the sample and push the Start Button.

Superior Precision from the First Run

The OptiDist fully automatically sets the optimal distillation conditions for Initial Heating, Distillation and Final Heating for any sample through the unique heating optimizer technology. It delivers up to 2 times better precision for all common distillation samples. You get perfect results from the first run even for “unknown” samples!

Enhanced Instrument Features

The optimizer technology assures perfect repeatability of distillation conditions without any compromise. The optimized heating protects flask material from critical overheating, improves flask lifetime and prevents from potential fire. The operator also benefits from the environmental-friendly design by the drastically reduced VOC emission.

Unparalleled Versatility

The versatile design enables multi-methods and non-standard capability and can easily be adapted for different applications. OptiDist can be run as stand-alone unit or it can be linked together with several units to a Server-PC. OptiDist offers flexible and customized test report with enhanced communication features to LIMS, any printer or a centralized database on a Server-PC with IRIS software.
