- To use selective distillation of molecules or families of compounds close to the base matrix
- To ensure the decolouring, neutralising or deodorising of certain oils
- To remove unwanted compounds from the product to be distilled
- To split or separate certain groups of molecules
- To concentrate assets
- To decontaminate the raw material from pesticides
- Because it operates at a very high vacuum, strongly limiting thermal degradation
- Because it is a flash distillation. The distilled products have a very short contact time in the evaporator
- Because the return can be high
- For high viscosity, high molecular weight products
