Ben Schilling
Hello!
I am a wiped film distillation expert. I have a strong background in organic chemistry, with over twenty years of industry experience in the fine chemical, pharmaceutical and wiped film distillation fields. I have worked as an R&D chemist, production operator and chemist, supervisor, production manager and toll processing manager.
The last six years, I have had the privilege to learn wiped film distillation from some of the best practitioners on the planet. I have processed materials ranging from natural oils, to synthetic cannabinoids, to synthetic polymers and every area in between. I have learned how to solve equipment failure and operator error. I have seen numerous challenging feed materials and overcome many physical problems.
My goal is to apply those many years of experience to optimize your distillations and help you predict and avoid challenges when developing your distillations.
I am passionate about education and love to teach. I hope to increase the usage of this very efficient distillation technology through assisting my customers in optimization and better design of experiment.
Personally, I live in Wisconsin with my beautiful wife and four daughters. I look forward to meeting you and assisting in any way I can!
