Computer Controlled Batch Distillation Unit

The Computer Controlled Batch Distillation Unit, is a powerful laboratory tool for the study of variables affecting the distillation process.

ATENG 10808 — Computer Controlled Batch Distillation Unit

(for main items)

• With this unit there are several options and possibilities:
• Main items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Optional items: 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
• Let us describe first the main items (1 to 6):
• 1 ATENG 10808. Unit:
  Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
  Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.
• Sieve Plates Column with eight plates with one temperature taking and sample:
• Internal diameter: 50 mm.
• Length: 1000 mm.
  Vacuumed, silver-plated and double transparent band for vision.
  Column head with temperature taking and conical output for distilled product.
  Column head with a valve for the steam distribution.
• Boiler (with sample outputs) with computer controlled heating mantle, capacity: 2 l.
  Computer controlled boiler temperature. Temperature PID control.
• Distillation collector of graduated glass, capacity: 2 l.
  Refrigerator.
  Temperature measurement system.
  Seven ”J” type temperature sensors.
• Flow sensor, range: 0.25 – 6.5 l/min.
• Differential pressure sensor, range: 0 – 15 PSI.
• Working temperature: ambient temperature up to 125 °C.
  Computer controlled solenoid valve.
• The computer control system acts directly on:
  The temperature of the heating element (heating mantle).
• Unit: ATENG 10808
  The solenoid valve (reflux ratio).
• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA and PID Control.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
  Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the
  importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support,
  are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  operate many units in a network.
