Short distillation head with bulbous lower collector

Abstract

The distillation apparatus of the disclosed technology has a bulbous bottom side which extends below a plane defined by an outer cover which circumscribes a rest of a lower collector region which has there-within the bulbous or spheriod end. Further within the outer cover and/or functionally connected to the lower collector region is a vertical tube passing both into an area circumscribed by the lower collector region as well as passing into an area circumscribed by a fraction collector situated there-above. The fraction collector can have a same width (horizontal directional extent) as the lower collector region at a widest portion thereof. A rejection area can be created beneath the spheroid bottom end of the lower collector region as well at an interior top side of the lower collector region outside of the vertical tube.
