2 is a large scale industry with complex industrial plants that require a large investment to set-up. Due to the economic requirement to have these plants operating continuously at maximum efficiency, it is not usually possible to use them for the training of new Chemical Engineers and Chemical Plant Operators. The HFT Education range of teaching products allows students to learn the important practical and theoretical knowledge by studying actual Unit Operations on a pilot plant scale. The running of actual processes on the unit operation pilot plants means that real chemical engineering processes can be observed and studied. The flexibility of the pilot plants allows different industrial situations to be simulated and observed, including operational plant faults. The inclusion of industrial control devices and instrumentation allows students to gain important control, troubleshooting and diagnostic skills that can be taken forward into their working careers. Control of the pilot plants, either manually, using industrial instruments and devices, or automatically via a PC and software. Monitoring of the process operation using instruments and devices or via software and a PC, or a combination of both to ensure efficient operation. The ability to control the process to simulate situations experienced in industry, so troubleshooting and diagnosis can be performed to set the plant back into an efficient operating condition. Installation, commissioning, servicing and maintenance of plants. The ability to perform teaching and research within the operating parameters of the pilot plants. The HFT Education range can be used with other ranges e.g. Process Control or Water Treatment to provide a fully dedicated small scale industrial laboratory that can provide a teaching and learning experience to support studies for careers in many different industries, and research opportunities. Key features of the range include: Running of a pilot plant that simulates an industrial unit operation with a final product at the end of the process. Being able to observe the process in operation and focus on individual parts of the unit operation to analyse efficient use of power and raw materials. The use of industrial components, devices and instruments so students become familiar with their operation and characteristics. TELEPHONE +44 (0) / 290 sales@hft-education.com FAX +44 (0)

27 Absorption CHE600 Wetted Wall Absorption Pilot Plant A Wetted Wall Absorption Plant for studying the theory and process of the absorption of oxygen into de-oxygenated water. The wetted wall column consists of a vertical glass tube. Water entering the column is distributed uniformly onto the inner surface. Nitrogen is injected into the column bottom. The de-oxygenated water is pumped to the top of the absorption column and air is pumped into the column which rises and transfers oxygen. CHE610 Gas-Liquid Absorption Pilot Plant Absorption A Gas-Liquid Absorption Plant for studying the theory and process of absorption of gas into a liquid through a packed column. The unit includes a 1500mm glass absorption column. The gas to be absorbed is carbon dioxide, stored in a cylinder (not supplied). The gas is mixed with a known air flow rate, from a compressor installed in the plant. The composition of the mixture entering the column is easily determined and modified for different test parameters. Test points allow measurement of the pressure drop and can also be used to sample the gaseous phase. CHE620 Manual Absorption and Stripping Pilot Plant CHE900 Hot Water Generator An Absorption and Stripping Plant for studying the mass transfer theory and process of various gas to liquid and liquid to gas absorption experiments. The unit includes a glass column. CHE626 Automated Absorption and Stripping Pilot Plant CHE900 Hot Water Generator An Absorption and Stripping Plant for studying the mass transfer theory and process of various gas to liquid and liquid to gas absorption experiments. The unit includes a glass column, PID controller and control and acquisition software.

28 Adsorption NEW PRODUCT CHE650 Fixed Bed Adsorption Plant with SCADA A Fixed Bed Adsorption Plant with SCADA that allows in-depth study of the adsorption and desorption processes. The adsorption bed is contained in a stainless steel column with six thermocouples mounted at regular intervals on the column s length to measure the temperature of the adsorbent. The CHE650 is supplied with a PID controller and supervision and data acquisition software for Windows that allows control of the plant by a PC connected via the supplied serial cable. CORROSION NEW PRODUCT CHE670 Cathodic Corrosion Protection Training Plant A Cathodic Corrosion Protection Training Plant designed to allow the study of the technique to control the corrosion of a metal surface by making it work as a cathode of an electrochemical cell. This is achieved by placing an easily corroded metal acting as the anode of the electrochemical cell. A multi-channel interface is provided to connect the plant to a PC, in order to record the experimental results and to provide data for further studies. SEPARATION Adsorption / CORROSION / SEPARATION NEW PRODUCT CHE680 Three-Phase Separator Pilot Plant with SCADA A Three-Phase Separator Pilot Plant with SCADA that is designed to simulate the crude oil stream from the production wellhead and the operation to separate the gas, liquid hydrocarbons and water into their separate phases. Students gain practical and theoretical knowledge of the processes involved. The crude oil is simulated by mixing air, water and refined oil. This fluid flows into the horizontal separator, which is manufactured from clear plastic so students can view the process happening. 2014/15 visit for more information < 28

29 CASe STUDY: Demonstration of the HFT Education CHE53 Manual Continuous Distillation Pilot Plant with Data Acquisition during the Advanced Technology Centre (ATC) Dedication Ceremony at Bridge Valley Community and Technical College. CHE53 Manual Continuous Distillation Pilot Plant with Data Acquisition It had to satisfy: 1. The need for teaching and learning. 2. Manual control of the operational parameters. 3. Clear observation of the whole unit operation. 4. To demonstrate the individual processes in the unit operation. 5. Obtaining the operational data both manually and automatically for immediate diagnosis and further analysis. 6. Operation as a batch or continuous distillation unit operation. 7. To produce a final product for analysis. 8. To represent the actual industrial process on a small scale. With the CHE53 assembled and after performing the commissioning checks and connecting the cooling water, we were able to start distilling a mixture of alcohol and water. The CHE53 performed exactly as it should and we were able to observe all of the important parts of a distillation unit operation. But what happens when things go wrong? We can simulate real industrial situations in the CHE53 and we decided that Mother Nature was going to send in a cold storm. We could immediately see from the temperatures in the column that we had to change the control parameters to get the distillation column working efficiently again. We set about changing the reboiler temperature, feed flow and reflux ratio to increase the column temperature. Success, we were now operating efficiently again. We also increased the feed and temperature to a point where we could see flooding gradually affecting each tray in the column. Again, we were able to take the necessary action to put the column back to its normal efficient operating condition....we were able to see what is happening inside a column that is normally hidden from view in a stainless steel case. We had learnt a lot in two hours about how to control a distillation column. How to troubleshoot and decide what actions to take. How to read the instruments and how to understand what they were telling us and we were able to see what is happening inside a column that is normally hidden from view in a stainless steel case. We had only spent two hours with the CHE53 and already we knew that it was going to teach us a lot about distillation. 29 > visit for more information 2014/15
