Gas Contactor / Distillation Column Demonstrator
Description: The column demonstration apparatus is a small scale vessel that models the operation of a gas contactor or distillation column using air and water as working fluids. Column staging internals show:
- Packed columns using both random and structured packing
- Tray columns using sieve, valve and bubble-cap trays
Function: This process trainer uses air, and water to emulate column dynamics. Water is recycled; the air is vented to atmosphere. The process has manual control valves with rotameters and is intended to demonstrate contactor / distillation principles with basic visual / manual operation.
Process Specifications Highlights:
- Continuously flow (variable by hand valves)
- Working fluids air and water
- Rotameters flor fluid flow measurement
- Digital manometer and strategically located quick-connects are provided to allow pressure drop measurement to be made.
Equipment Specification Highlights:
- Clear PVC vertical vessel and process piping
- 6” dia. x 24” (150 x 1150 mm) vertical column
- Centrifugal pump for water
- Regenerative air blower
- water storage tank in base of column
- Complete unit mounted on a utility size cart for ease of movement and storage
- Approximate overall dimensions – 80 x 45 x 150 cm high (32” x 18” x 60” high)
Models: Single-phase electrical power:
- Model GC20-240 is for 240VAC 50 Hz
- Model GC20-120 is for 120VAC 60 Hz
