Continuous Distillation
Pignat's compact, benchtop Continuous Distillation trainer (DVI/100) allows students to operate a continuous distillation process. Expertly crafted glass components show the flow of fluid through the complete process in both liquid and gaseous phases. With an efficient startup time, steady-state operation can be reached in 20 minutes.
A digital touch screen HMI controls operating parameters (flowrates, reflux ratio, heating, etc.) and displays real-time measurements across the process. Data is saved for later analysis. The trainer can also be used for the study of mass and thermal balance, yield, hydrodynamics of a column, flooding conditions, packing factor, and more. Educational handbook and technical manual included.
