Batch Reaction (BR) Pilot Plant vocational training equipment

RECa Batch Reaction (BR) Pilot Plant vocational training equipment

This pilot plant concerns the batch reaction; the study of kinetics is carried out versus the variation of conductivity in the reactor. This reactor includes an electric heater and a distillation column with condenser.
TRAINING PROGRAM
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Determination of reaction kinetics
• Reaction thermodynamics
• Mass and energy balance
• Sizing of an homogeneous reactor
• Automatic temperature control with PID controller (for mod. RECa, only)
• Plant supervision by P.C. (for mod. RECa, only)
• Exercises than can be carried out:
- kinetics of hydrolysis of ethyl acetate
- preparation of p-Toluensulfonic acid
- preparation of diethyl adipate

- preparation of cyclohexanonoxime from hydroxylamine sulfate and cyclohexanone
- transformation of acetic anhydride into acetic acid and display of reaction kinetics by measurement of conductivity
- preparation of amide
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Mod. RECa
Besides being provided with all the characteristics of mod. REC, this model also includes the following additional items:
• Microprocessor digital PID controller with serial card
• Supervision software for Windows: it enables to control ON-OFF signals, analog signals coming from PID controller, real-time trend and historical trend
