GETTING OUT OF THE COST TRAP Distillacid
On the one hand, modern analytical laboratories have to perform high-quality analyses in the ultratrace PURITY LEVELS
range, but on the other hand they also have to minimize the costs for chemicals and consumables. The
Berghof subboiling apparatus produces quality and pays for itself quickly. As a user, you benefit from
absolutely pure acids at the lowest possible operating costs.

SUBBOILING-PRINCIPLE:
The subboiling apparatus is used to produce high-purity acids for ultratrace analysis. Via infrared heating, Unmatched purity
it distills the acid at temperatures of 10-20°C below the boiling point very carefully. This prevents the
formation of droplets and aerosols and ensures a uniquely efficient purification. → Starting from p.a. qualities, high-purity acids with
→ Fields of application: HNO3 , HCL , HF und H2O contaminations in the sub-ppb range are obtained
→ Distillation volumes: Less is more – lower distillation volumes mean higher purity of the acid yielded. →M  ultiple-Subboiling
In 24 h, approximately 1.2 L HNO3, 1.1 L HCL , 1.0 L HF or 1.8 L H2O are gained. Leads to even purer acids at sup-ppt level
→C  ost-effective
The system pays for itself within one year
→H  igh durabilty
The system consists solely of high-purity materials
such as TFM™-PTFE, PTFE and PP
