Velp Kjeldahl Distillation

Kjeldahl Distillation Units

The distillation unit is used to perform nitrogen analysis and protein determination according to Kjeldahl method in food&feed industry and other applications in environmental and chemical industries after having digested the sample accurately.

    • A choice of five units with varied levels of automation
    • Fourth generation based on extensive experience
    • Unparalleled technology along with premium materials for high-quality products
    • Extremely reliable quantification of nitrogen content and protein determination
    • Operate across a wide variety of samples
    • TEMS™ technology with major advantages for ecology and economy
    • Conformity with multiple standards protocols
      AOAC, ISO, EPA, DIN etc.
    • VELP also offers consumables accurate and precise analysis
  • Kjeldahl analysis method
    – Add distilled / deionized water to the digested sample
    This dilutes the sample
    In this way it’s easier to detect all the ammonia
    – Separate the nitrogen from the digested mixture by steam distilling
    Extracts ammonia from the alkaline solution
    – Raise the pH of the digested mixture using sodium hydroxide
    Converts NH4+ (in solid format) into NH3 (gaseous)
    This will be detected with titration
    – Trap the distilled vapors in a dedicated solution of boric acid
    Traps all the nitrogen, eliminating the risk of loss
