Item Description

Sci-tech Continuous Distillation Column Model TH 110 has been developed to permit student study of the fundamentals of a continuous distillation system encountered in modern industrial processes. The solution to be distilled is stored in the feed tank. The solution is pumped from the feed tank via the feed metering pump. The distillation column consists of a reboiler, glass column sections, column packing, four packing support plate assemblies, reflux separator assembly, condenser and cap assembly. The distillate feed consists of a reflux three way control valve, distillate spiral cooler, and distillate storage tank. The residue feed comes from the reboiler through the residue spiral cooler to the residue storage tank. Either the distillate of the residue may be pumped back into the feed tank for reprocess. Sampling ports are provided on all packing support plates, feed input, feed output, reflux, distillate tank, residue tank, and reboiler. Thermocouples are used to take all temperature readings Data Acquisition Software provides real time data on computer screen along with graphs & tabular results.
