Testimonials:
“Benjamin is an excellent teacher with knowledge of wiped film distillation. His training is well-structured, starting with the fundamentals of the process and progressing to practical applications, making it easy to understand and apply the concepts in real-world operations.
He is always available to answer questions and detailed explanations, helping to solve problems. I highly recommend his training to anyone looking to improve their knowledge and practical skills in wiped film distillation.”

“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.”

Class Description and Purpose
Wiped film distillation is an incredibly powerful method of purification. Many purifications are not possible with any other distillation technology. In addition, wiped film stills are incredibly efficient, allowing for large throughput on relatively small machines.
However, wiped film distillation is not taught in colleges. The equipment is too niche to be part of education programs. For this reason, there is a large range of proficiency among wiped film still users. Some users are very skilled, while others have not received enough instruction to be skilled. The biggest problem is there is no resource for wiped film still operators. This class fixes that problem.
For many years, I ran Pope Scientific’s wiped film distillation plant. I was trained by the very best in the business and got to process material from every industry imaginable. I have amassed a wealth of wiped film distillation knowledge, and this class shares that knowledge.
What to expect from the class: A full understanding of how to run a wiped film still and how to use the still to obtain the desired product.
