Pope Scientific to Exhibit at the American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS) Annual Meeting & Expo in New Orleans

Pope Scientific to Exhibit at the American Oil Chemists’ Society (AOCS) Annual Meeting & Expo in New Orleans

Pope Scientific is pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at the 2026 AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo, taking place May 3–6, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.

Hosted by AOCS, the event brings together scientists, engineers, and industry professionals focused on the science and technology of oils, fats, proteins, surfactants, and related materials. The technical program features 80+ sessions across 10 interest areas, covering topics such as processing, industrial oil products, health and nutrition, biotechnology, and more. With more than 1,500 attendees and 50+ exhibitors, the Expo Hall provides a dynamic forum for sharing new technologies and solutions.

See Our 2” Wiped-Film Still on Display

At this year’s Expo, Pope will have our 2-inch wiped-film still on display and ready for discussion. Designed for precision and efficiency, Pope Scientific’s state-of-the-art wiped-film distillation systems are ideally suited for industries working with oleochemicals, fats, and specialty lipids.

Our innovative processing approaches—including continuous hybrid fractional distillation—are engineered to minimize thermal impact during processing. By reducing residence time and protecting temperature-sensitive compounds, producers can preserve product integrity while creating higher-value, differentiated offerings that meet evolving market demands.

Supporting Innovation Beyond Equipment

In addition to manufacturing advanced distillation systems, Pope provides:

For companies exploring new lipid-based products or refining existing processes, our team works alongside yours to move from concept to commercialization with confidence.

Let’s Connect in New Orleans

The AOCS Annual Meeting is known for connecting professionals across research, processing, and product development. If you’ll be attending, we invite you to stop by our booth 125 to see the 2” wiped-film still in person and discuss how Pope’s distillation technology can support your processing goals.

We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans this May!

Pope Scientific, Inc. Expanding WI Facility

Pope Scientific, Inc. Expanding WI Facility

 

Pope Scientific, Inc. a leading manufacturer of chemical processing equipment, engineered systems and laboratory apparatus for science and industry, broke ground on a new building expansion in the Fall of 2019.

Pope’s existing 44,000 square foot manufacturing facility contains engineering, construction areas, technical and testing labs, a glass blowing facility, shipping / storage and a fully equipped toll processing area.

Due to consistent growth, Pope enlisted VJS Construction Services to expand the existing facility by 20,000 square feet. This addition will be an extension of the manufacturing portion of the business as well as a multi-use space, housing offices and a conference space. Safety is at the forefront of the facility expansion, along with improved processes and efficiency, to better serve customers.

Pope credits customers, both new and old, for support over the years as they look forward to a bright future. Stay tuned to see progress as facility gets closer to completion.

New Pope Scientific Toll Processing Expansion

New Pope Scientific Toll Processing Expansion

 

Pope has Recently Increased its Existing Toll Processing Capacity and Capabilities with Installation of a New 3-Stage Distillation Module

This system consists of a Degasser Stage, a 1m2 Wiped Film Molecular Still Stage and a 1m2 Wiped Film Hybrid Distillation Stage. These 3 units can be configured in several different ways depending on the particular application and optimization of processing strategies. Evaporation, devolatilization, high vacuum short path distillation and multi-plate column fractionation are all possible with this equipment.

The system includes automatic control of feed rate, vacuum level, temperature, reflux ratio, and other parameters. Process control is via an Allen Bradley PLC system with wireless data transfer to a PC for data logging and analysis. The feed rate for the system is up to 120 kg/hour or more, application-dependent. Vacuum capability is from atmospheric pressure to 0.01 mm Hg, with hot oil circulation temperature capability up to 287°C.
