Batch distillation pilot plant

UDB - UDBc - UDBa/EV

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.

Training program

This unit enables to deepen the following issues:

  • 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)
