The Process Modelling & Control lab currently contains five working rigs. The Opto 22 unit is usually refered to as the sixth rig. Equipment on the rigs (and in the lab) is discussed in the lab equipment section. The lab manual is available here. New users wanting to set up computers and software should have a look at this page.
Rigs
For the rigs in the Tribology labs, see this page.
The acetone flashing rig is a four by four control problem. You can find the documentation here.
This rig demonstrates pH control. You can find the documentation here.
The temperature control rig was rebuilt by Ivan and David in 2005. You can find the documentation here.
Level and Flow is one of our favourite rigs. You can find the documentation here.
Distillation Columns
There are two distillation columns in the chemical engineering laboratories;
- documentation for the small distillation column (in the PM&C lab) can be found here.
- information on the column big distillation column (between the 3rd year labs and the PM&C lab) .
This unit, copied from a setup done by Ingvald Bårdsen under supervision of Espen Storkaas and Heidi Sivertsen at NTNU, models severe slugging behaviour in a pipeline/riser system.
- the original information is hosted at http://www.nt.ntnu.no/users/skoge/diplom/prosjekt03/bardsen/ (this will, if anything, improve your Norwegian)
- our lab documentation is available here.
This unit, intended to produce bio-oils from woody biomass, is still under construction by Stephen Swart and Prof. Heydenrych. It is intended to be completed by 2012, with the design outlined in Swart (2010). The documentation can be found here.
This rig is a rapid prototyping and test unit for control systems, consisting of the task of stabilisation and reference tracking of an open loop unstable system.
Implement an Arduino Uno based control system to stabilise the quadcopter in a hover position.
This rig is part of a joint effort between the Bioreaction Engineering group and the PM&C group. The reactor produces fumaric acid from glucose in a continuous process using Rhizopus oryzae .
This rig consists of a cart on a linear rail that can move in 1D by using a DC motor. The cart has a free moving arm attached to it, an angle encoder is used to measure the angle between the cart and the first arm. A second arm is attached to the end of the first arm, a second angle encoder is used to measure the angle between the first and second arm. Control is implemented on a Raspberry Pi 3, with the aim of balancing the two arms in the vertical position.
Lab equipment
Equipment for the rigs are (should be) documented on their respective pages. Some additional equipment in the PMC lab include;
