“I highly recommend Ben Schilling, a consultant for molecular distillation. Ben brings deep hands-on experience with wiped-film systems and a strong practical understanding of how to move processes from pilot into reliable production. I have found Ben’s support incredibly helpful on challenging projects involving essential oils and complex multi-pass separations, where consistency and product quality really matter. What stands out most is how collaborative and approachable Ben is, he genuinely cares about getting the best outcome. I’ve always appreciated his ability to troubleshoot quickly, simplify complex problems, and help teams move forward with confidence.”

“Ben and I connected in my search for some outside help in assessing our refinement processes. After a few discovery calls, it became apparent that Ben was able to bring a broad knowledge base to our application and we engaged in an onsite consultation. It was refreshing to work with someone who understood the practical limitations and expectations of a fast paced production environment, while still being able to apply design of experiment to drive improvement. Ben was able to help us drive real results in improving product consistency and driving closer to our desired specifications. We look forward to continue to work with him on future process improvements and design.”

“Ben is a great instructor! He helped us to understand the concepts of wiped film distillation from the ground up and addressed specific questions for our project needs as they arose throughout the course. Ben walked us through how our things worked using the equipment we set up in advance and let us know what modifications we would need for different applications. We hope to have him back for consulting when new, difficult distillations come up in our work.”

Preston MacQueen, Ph.D. at Millipore Sigma

“The Schilling Scientific Consulting course is highly recommended for R&D, process engineering, and operations professionals working with molecular distillation and wiped-film evaporators. It stands out for its ability to translate complex concepts—such as mass transfer, vapor-liquid equilibrium, and high-vacuum operation—into practical guidelines for process development and optimization. For applications involving citrus oils and flavors, the course content offers significant technical relevance and excellent potential for industrial application.”

R&D Specialist at Food Company

“We recently retained Ben to support our distillation optimization project, and his combination of technical expertise and practical instruction proved highly valuable.

Ben helped us understand how to use gas chromatography data and component vapor pressures to identify and target specific molecules within our feedstock. He translated these analytical inputs into a framework that allowed us to establish optimal operating conditions.  This knowledge has enabled us to increase our throughput and improve product quality. 

Based on our experience, I would refer Ben to organizations seeking technically rigorous distillation support.”
