Gas Contactor Distillation Column Demonstrator

Description of Gas Contactor Distillation Column Demonstrator  

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:

1. Packed columns using both random and structured packing
2. Tray columns using sieve, valve and bubble-cap trays

Function of Gas Contactor Distillation Column Demonstrator  

Gas Contactor Distillation Column Demonstrator process 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 Specification of Gas Contactor Distillation Column Demonstrator  

1. Continuously flow
2. Working fluids air and water
3. Rotameters for fluid flow measurement
4. Digital manometer and strategically located quick-connects are provided to allow pressure drop measurement to be made.

Specification of Gas Contactor Distillation Column Demonstrator  

1. Clear PVC vertical vessel and process piping
2. 6 dia. x 52” (150 x 1320 mm) vertical column
3. Centrifugal pump for water
4. Regenerative air blower
5. Water storage tank in base of column
6. Complete unit mounted on a utility size cart for ease of movement and storage
7. Approximate overall dimensions 90 x 60 x 150 cm high (36” x 24” x 60” high)
