Pignat's standard-size, floor-standing Batch Continuous Distillation trainer (DVI/3000) allows students to operate both a continuous and batch distillation process. Expertly-crafted glass components (column, boiler, condenser, etc.) show the flow of fluid through the complete process in both liquid and gaseous phases. Multiple interchangeable column options are available (bubble cap tray, packing, etc.)
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 also supports the study of mass and thermal balance, yield, hydrodynamics of a column, flooding conditions, packing factor, and more. Educational handbook and technical manual included.
