Revision as of 09:46, 25 March 2009

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.

Rigs

Acetone Flashing

The acetone flashing rig is a four by four control problem. You can find the documentation here.

pH Loop

This rig demonstrates pH control. You can find the documentation here.

Temperature Control

The temperature control rig was rebuilt by Ivan and David in 2005. You can find the documentation here.

Level and Flow

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.

Slug Flow

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.

Lab equipment

Some of the equipment in the lab is documented in this section.

  • Hanna pH transmitters are used (manual).
  • The slug flow unit uses a Signet 8512 flowmeter (manual).
  • There are flow sensors on three of the rigs in the laboratory. Temperature control, acetone flashing and the pH loop
