INTRODUCTION TRAINING PROGRAM


The solution having to be distilled, stored in a glass tank, is sent This unit enables to deepen
to the distillation column by a metering pump after crossing a the following issues:
pre-heating exchanger. The column can be fed through 3 points • Distillation of different mixtures (water / ethanol, water /
at different height. methanol, methanol / propanol, etc...) versus the variation
The distillation column is completely made of glass and it of the following operational parameters:
consists of a reboiler, of a column with packing of steel mesh - feed pre-heating temperature
and of a condenser with reflux valve and head. - reflux ratio
The bottom product and the distillate are collected into two - feeding flow rate
glass tanks after being cooled by two heat exchangers. - reboiler heating power
The automated version mod. DCa/EV is equipped with two PID - feeding composition
controllers being able to control the flow rate of cooling water - residual pressure
crossing the condenser, the vacuum degree of the plant and • Mass balance
