Fixed Bed Adsorption Educational Lab Demo Unit
- Height 325 mm, diameter 58 mm
- Stainless steel jacket for temperature control
- Gas distribution plate at entry to column
- Bed of glass beads for good gas distribution and maintenance of steady-state temperature
- Six thermocouples spaced evenly along the length of the column
The introduces students to the fundamentals of adsorption and desorption processes using a packed bed reactor. The unit is fitted with a stainless steel reactor column in which the adsorbent, activated carbon, is packed.
There are six thermocouples sited along
the length of the column, which enable the adsorption/desorption fronts
to be followed (Adsorption/desorption of CO2 leads to changes in
temperature).
A hot water circulation system, also containing a thermocouple (T7), is
connected to the jacket of the column to enable accurate temperature
control via a PID temperature controller so that the desired processing
temperature is accurately maintained.
The system is equipped with all the
valves required for flow direction control, flow rate control and
pressure relief for safety.
Electronic flowmeters monitor the flow rate of both the carrier gas,
helium and the absorbate, carbon dioxide. These combined with the column
temperature sensors and the IR detector, for measuring CO2
concentration; enable the processes to be followed closely and a wide
range of operating variables to be examined.
