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.
- documentation for the big distillation column (between the 3rd year labs and the PM&C lab) can be found here.
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.
Lab equipment
Equipment for the rigs are (should be) documented on their respective pages. Some additional equipment in the PMC lab include;
