B/R has the right crude oil distillation system for your needs. We offer everything from ASTM crude oil distillation systems to mini and micro distillation systems for crude oil. We also offer various levels of automation and accessories to meet your needs.
These systems include everything needed to perform a crude oil distillation in an easy to use, user friendly package. All you need is a sample and an operator.
The software guides you through the distillation process from beginning to end. PC control makes operation easy and automatic with a complete, permanent record of every distillation.
B/R offers expert support for crude oil distillation. A petroleum chemist is on staff who is a 30+ year member of ASTM.
Find the right level of automation or the right distillation system for your sample size.
