Sieve Plate Distillation Column 32389 is designed to demonstrate principles of distillation in a Sieve Plate Column.
The column is made of Stainless Steel material with seven sieve trays. An electrically heated reboiler is installed at the bottom of the column. The bottom product is collected in the tank. The vapors 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 is received in a receiving tank. The complete column is insulated for minimizing the heat loss. Instrumentation is done for pressure & temp. Measurement wherever is necessary
