Performance

The RapidStill II produces steam by heating a 1 liter flask (boiler) with a 1200 watt heating
element. Activation of the heater, the addition of water to the boiler, and the addition of NaOH to
the sample are all controlled by switches on the front control panel of the unit. An electric timer
on the control panel allows the distillation time to be set from 0 to 15 minutes. Typical distillation
times range from 5 to 10 minutes.
