Description
Batch Distillation Pilot Plant
- UDB/EV manual
- UDBc/EV manual with data logging
- UDBa/EV automated
The distillation column is made completely of glass and it
consists of a reboiler, of a bubble cap tray column and of a
condenser with reflux head and valve.
The distillate is collected into a glass tank after being cooled by
a heat exchanger.
The automated version mod. UDBa/EV is equipped with PID
controller: using two pneumatic valves, this controller can
automatically control the flow rate of condenser cooling water
and the vacuum degree of the plant.
Training Program
- Distillation of different mixtures (water / ethanol, water /
methanol, methanol / propanol, etc…) at atmospheric
pressure, versus the variation of the following operational
parameters:-
-
- reflux ratio
- reboiler heating power
- bottom composition
- vacuum degree
-
-
- Mass balance
- Energy balance
- Flooding
- Calculation of the number of theoretical trays
- Automatic flow and pressure control by PID controller (for mod. UDBa/EV, only)
- Plant supervision by P.C. (for mod. UDBa/EV, only)
