Product Overview
The Pressure Swing Adsorption Educational Unit Operations Pilot Plant is an integrated, bench-scale teaching system designed to introduce engineering students to the principles of gas separation and mass transfer. The unit focuses on the process of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) for gas mixtures, specifically utilizing nitrogen-oxygen separation as a practical teaching model. By working directly with industrial-grade control interfaces and adjustable cycle configurations, students gain practical insight into how gas-solid separation processes are operated, monitored, and optimized in modern industrial plants.
To ensure that this equipment fits seamlessly into diverse teaching environments, the entire platform is highly customizable. LABPARK offers tailored modifications across both the hardware configurations (such as vessel sizing, alternative adsorbent column materials, and sensor selections) and the software control interfaces (including PLC programming, data logging capabilities, and user interface layouts) to meet the exact educational goals of your department.
Key Educational Functions & Advantages
- Industrial-Grade Process Control: Equipped with an integrated industrial touchscreen workstation, allowing students to interact with real-time process diagrams, monitor system pressures, and configure automated cycle sequences.
- Process Parameter Optimization: Students can program, test, and refine the cycle timelines (adsorption, equalization, depressurization, and regeneration) to observe direct impacts on product gas purity and recovery rates.
- Gas-Solid Separation Studies: The dual-column design enables continuous or semi-continuous cycle configurations, allowing comparison of different solid-phase adsorbents under varying pressure swing ranges.
- Comprehensive Digital Assessment Suite: The proprietary software includes a digital learning management system, enabling instructors to build question banks, generate exams, assign various question formats (multiple-choice, true/false), and automatically compile student scores.
