Thermal Desorption Exhaust Gas and Tail Water Treatment Educational Pilot Plant

Introduction

The Thermal Desorption Exhaust Gas and Tail Water Treatment Educational Unit Operations Pilot Plant is an integrated, bench-scale training system designed for engineering laboratories in higher education. This unit replicates industrial processes for treating exhaust gases and tail water generated during thermal desorption processes. By combining multiple physical and chemical separation steps into a single, cohesive platform, the plant provides undergraduate and graduate students with a clear, practical understanding of environmental control technologies and chemical process engineering.

To meet the specific curricular requirements and spatial constraints of different universities, LABPARK offers flexible customization options for this pilot plant. Both the hardware configurations—including reactor sizes, sensor selections, pump capacities, and piping layouts—and the software systems—such as control interfaces, automation levels, and data acquisition parameters—can be fully customized to align with your department's specific syllabus and research goals.

Key Teaching Functions and Advantages

• Comprehensive Process Integration: Demonstrates both gas-phase treatment (condensation, gas-liquid separation, deep cryogenic recovery, carbon adsorption) and liquid-phase treatment (pH regulation, Fenton advanced oxidation, precipitation, filtration, and carbon polishing) in a single system.
• Visualized Unit Operations: Utilizes transparent reaction vessels, settling columns, and pipelines, allowing students to visually monitor phase changes, chemical precipitation, and hydrodynamic behaviors in real time.
• Industrial-Grade Process Control: Equipped with a centralized control panel featuring real-time digital displays, precise flow meters, and sensor readouts (pH, temperature, and flow rate) to teach modern process automation and data analysis.
• Hands-On Engineering Practice: Enables students to perform mass and energy balance calculations, determine reaction kinetics, and evaluate the efficiency of multi-stage separation processes under varying operating conditions.
• Safe and Robust Construction: Built with corrosion-resistant materials, including high-grade stainless steel and chemical-resistant plastics, ensuring long-term operational safety and reliability in a university laboratory environment.

Curriculum Integration and Engineering Practice

This educational pilot plant is designed to support core laboratory courses across several engineering disciplines, including Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Control Engineering, and Ecological Technology.

By working with this system, students can directly bridge the gap between theoretical calculations and practical application. The physical and chemical processes integrated into the unit align directly with the foundational principles taught in major academic textbooks:

• Mass Transfer and Separation Processes: The multi-stage activated carbon adsorption and gas-liquid separation modules allow students to calculate breakthrough curves and mass transfer coefficients, directly illustrating concepts in Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering.
• Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer: The cryogenic condensation loop and filtration beds provide practical scenarios for calculating pressure drops, heat transfer rates, and fluid flow behavior through packed beds, corresponding to key sections in Transport Processes and Unit Operations.
• Process and Reactor Design: The Fenton oxidation and neutralization processes allow students to study residence time distribution, chemical dosing stoichiometry, and reactor scale-up rules as discussed in Chemical Engineering Design.

To ensure the equipment remains relevant as educational standards evolve, LABPARK supports ongoing hardware and software customization. This allows university instructors to upgrade sensors, modify process flows, or introduce new analytical software as their curriculum develops over time.
