Instrumentation and control of distillation columns have changed considerably in the recent years, prompted by the
advances of computer-linked systems which are generally supported by powerful software packages which allow the
operators to handle operating data.
Armfeld has acknowledged these recent changes and has developed two state-of-the-art laboratory-based distillation
columns which enable safe hands-on practical training for student engineers and plant operators as well as
empowering research in different felds to be conducted.
Armfeld have designed two distillation column options:
UOP3BM: Batch Distillation Column (Manual)
A Batch-only operated version, manually controlled, which permits a comprehensive study of the basic principles involved in the distillation process.
UOP3CC: UOP3CC – Continuous Distillation Column
(Computer Controlled)
A Continuous or Batch operated version, computer controlled, which enables a full
range of demonstrations from the introductory stages of a process engineering course through
to the more complex demonstrations of modern control strategies
Each option comes with two different distillation columns supplied:
A packed bed distillation column
A sieve plate distillation column, including eight
sample and feed ports across the column
