Bayport Technical's Unit Operations systems give operators a peek inside the systems they work with every day. These systems utilize glass in as many places as possible so that operators can fully visualize how these processes work and how these systems function.
Bayport Technical's Unit Operations trainers teach important skills needed by operators to fully understand the systems they'll be working with. Contact Bayport Technical today for more information!
Bayport Technical's Distillation Trainer - Glass, with Chiller (130-DTU1) is a full-size working glass distillation unit. The 130-DTU1 is ideal for teaching the process of distillation, incorporating a stripper column in addition to the main column. The unit also includes a custom chilled water unit. The pressure system, temperature readouts & controls, pump switch panel, and flow controls are all centrally located for ease of operation and safety.
The glass fractionating column allows the operator to see the results of their actions very quickly. The unit consists of the following equipment: main column, four pumps, overhead condensers, heat exchangers, cooling system, reboiler, temperature gauges, and piping. All of this equipment is intended to provide instructors with a working model of the equipment used in refineries or petrochemical plants, and accurately demonstrates distillation on a small-scale.
Bayport Technical's Unit Operations working demonstrators teach skills that will help operators better understand the systems that they work with. Contact Bayport Technical today for more information!
This model is a working model that demonstrates the operation of a distillation column using water and air. The water simulates the hydrocarbon liquid reflux, and the air simulates the hydrocarbon vapors (gas bubbles).
Water is supplied to the distributor and travels down through the structured packing, across the trays and downward through the downcomers to the water reservoir in the bottom of the stand. Liquid traveling downward comes in contact with the vapors (gas bubbles) traveling upward, thus allowing the cooler liquid to condense any heavy compounds out of the lighter vapor stream. Air travels up through the holes in the trays and is vented out the top to the atmosphere to maintain a flow and relieve pressure.
Bayport Technical's Distillation Tower Working Demonstrator - Acrylic, with Reboiler, Chimney Trays (132-DTT6) is similar to the Distillation Tower Working Demonstrator - Acrylic, with Reboiler, Rotameters (132-DTT5), except this unit has two distributors, super frac and chimney trays, only random packing (no structured packing), panel mount valves instead of rotameters, and relocation of the mock reboiler.
The 132-DTT6 includes the following: base with reservoir, two distributors, two super frac trays, two sieve trays with downcomers, chimney tray, valve tray with downcomer, bubble cap tray with downcomer, random packing, centrifugal pump, three-panel mount valves, reboiler, and an air compressor.
This model consists of a reactor, generator, standpipes, risers, and an air blower that forms the catalyst circulation system. The catalyst flow is controlled by the valves on the reactor and regenerator standpipes. Circulation fluidizing of the catalyst is achieved by injecting air into the air inlet of the regenerator, the steam inlet of the stripper, and the feed inlet to the reactor riser. It is controlled by three individual needle valves.
Evaluations of start-up, operation, and shut down procedures in these units can be invaluable to educators, as demonstrations of catastrophic events may be safely simulated.
The unit includes the following: reactor, regenerator, standpipes, risers, air blower, and stripper.
