Process Plant Trainer

Process Plant Trainer

A bench mounted process plant trainer with multiple streams both interacting and noninteracting.
The process plant incorporates a miniature three-stage plate heat exchanger heated from a hot water circulator, two independent feed tanks, a holding tube with product divert valve and two variable-speed peristaltic pumps
Temperature, level, flow and conductivity control loops can be implemented
Manual control, single feedback loops, through to sophisticated cascade loops and distributed supervisory control of the whole process by a remotely located computer can be demonstrated
The effect of dead time and heat recycle can be demonstrated
An electrical console provides measurement and control of the process plant and enables a variety of control techniques including manual operation, on/off control, control from an external signal and control from a PC or PLC
The equipment incorporates electrical fault simulation and control, data logging software, and a USB computer interface
