Packed Bed Distillation Column

Packed Bed Distillation Column

The column ismade of Stainless Steel material packed with Borosilicate Glass rasching rings. An electrically heated reboiler is installed at the bottom of the column. The bottom product is collected in the tank. The vapours form the top of column are condensed in the shell and tube type condenser by circulating cooling water,supplied by laboratory overhead tank.

The condensate is divided into reflux and distillate by automatic reflux divider and R/D Ratio can be varied. Reflux is fed back to the column and distillate isreceived in a receiving tank. The complete column is insulated for minimizing the heat loss. Instrumentation is provided for pressure & temp. measurement wherever necessary.
