Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for separating a mixture containing at least two components, each component having a different volatility. The separation is achieved through the use of a fractional distillation column and upper and lower storage vessels in conjunction with a chilling unit for forming a liquid phase of the mixture and a generator for forming a gas phase of the mixture.
