UOP3 Distillation Columns

Considerable advances in the instrumentation and control of distillation columns have been made in recent years, prompted by the advent of computer-linked systems supported by software packages for handling plant operating data. To reflect these advances, Armfield has developed two new state-of-the-art laboratory-based distillation columns that allow safe hands-on practical training for student engineers and plant operators:-

• A continuous or batch operation, computer-compatible column (model reference UOP3CC) which allows a full range of demonstrations from the introductory stages of a process engineering course through to the more complex demonstrations of modern control strategies.

• A batch-only operated version (model reference UOP3BM) manually controlled, permits comprehensive study of the basic principles of distillation.
