Fenix Pilot Plant

Fenix offers a wide range of turnkey solutions in the field of Chemical Distillation, Edible Oil Refining and Biodiesel. Achieving the most desired results from these turnkey processes is possible when the critical step of purification (or separation) of products and by-products by distillation is made the most efficient. In order to create more value to our customers and help them reduce the risk associated with construction of large process plants, we have setup our own distillation pilot plant to support and augment our process design capabilities.

We operate a fully-equipped computer controlled pilot plant to demonstrate how our distillation technology can simplify your operations and help you understand process methods that may be used in full scale plants.

Whether you need to pilot a new process or improve an existing one, we'll do whatever it takes to give you the competitive edge.

Distillation Pilot Plant:

Major Components of the Distillation Pilot Plant:

	Spherical vessels 10 L with suitable neck arrangement.
	MS flame proof heating bath with digital controller having copper coil and flame proof heater with insulation and cladding.
	Magnetic reflux divider with timer with Non flameproof fittings.
	Vacuum Pump two stage, Oil sealed high vacuum pump, ultimate vacuum 0.005 mmHg.
	G I Supporting Tubular structure and C I flanges.
	PTFE Gasket and PTFE bellows will be as requirement.
	All contact parts are of Borosilicate 3.3 Glass and PTFE.
	ISO 9001: 2000 certified.
	Vacuum and Hydro test Units.

The baths are used to heat glass vessels indirectly either by electric power or by steam in chemical process and pharmaceutical industries. The baths are fabricated out of heavy gauge Mild steel and are fitted with copper coil for passing steam or cooling water. Suitable sealing arrangement is provided at the bottom. A height adjusted vessel support provides the seat for the flask. The temperature is controlled through a digital continuous temperature controller for better energy efficiency & to prevent accidents.

Schematic Representation of our Pilot Plant of Distillation:

	The Pilot plant Run enables to achieve the results for desired mixture of different components.
	Using Pilot Plant data it is possible to design for commercial level distillation columns.
	Pilot plant runs will help to establish process parameters like temperature, pressure required for efficient separation of unknown components.

VAPOUR- LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM SET-UP:

Vapor-liquid equilibrium data are the basic information of the system required for the design of equilibrium stages of vapor-liquid separation equipment like distillation. Equilibrium data represents the composition of the mixture in the vapor phase (y) and that in the corresponding equilibrium liquid phase (x) at equilibrium. The compositions are presented in mole fractions of the more volatile component. Equilibrium compositions are the functions of temperature and pressure. Therefore the data are reported under isothermal or isobaric conditions. However, isobaric data are required more often because industrial separations are carried out at constant pressure.

VLE APPARATUS:

With this precision equipment, it is possible to establish vapor-liquid equilibrium (Txy) which is most important data for designing distillation system.
This data can be encorporated to Simulators like Aspen.
With this equipment, VLE data can be generated at wide range of pressure from 1 torr to 760 torr.
