DCS Based Distillation Column

Overview – Distributed Control System (DCS) Based Distillation Column Trainer

The DCS Based Distillation Column is an advanced process control and chemical engineering educational setup designed to study distillation operations under Distributed Control System (DCS) automation. This trainer provides hands-on experience in controlling, monitoring, and analyzing the distillation process in real time using industrial-grade DCS and SCADA systems.

This setup is ideal for Engineering Colleges, ITIs, Polytechnics, and Research Institutes, helping students understand automation concepts such as process control loops, data acquisition, and control strategy implementation in separation processes. It bridges theoretical learning and industrial practice, making it a vital addition to process control and chemical engineering labs.

Product Description – DCS Based Distillation Column Educational Setup

The DCS Based Distillation Column Trainer consists of a fully functional distillation system integrated with a Distributed Control System (DCS). The setup includes a distillation column, reboiler, condenser, feed tank, product receivers, sensors (for temperature, pressure, and flow), and control valves, all connected to the DCS panel for process automation.

The DCS monitors and controls key process parameters such as feed rate, reflux ratio, column temperature, and product composition. Through a Human Machine Interface (HMI) or SCADA software, users can observe real-time trends, perform setpoint adjustments, and execute control strategies like PID, cascade, and ratio control.

This educational trainer enables students to study batch and continuous distillation processes, understand automation logic, and evaluate system stability under different operating conditions. It is built using high-quality stainless steel components and features a powder-coated frame for long-term durability in laboratory environments.
