Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Hydrodynamics of Trickle Bed Reactor Apparatus.
Description:-
The set-up consists of a glass column.
Air from a regulated pressure vessel passes through a sparker and allowed to enter in the column at the top.
Solenoid valves are provided in the feed line at the top of the column for instant release and close.
The liquid is feed from a tank, fitted with a pump and is distributed at the top of a column using a spray nozzle.
The flow rate can be adjusted by operating the valves provided in the respective line.
The set-up is fully accompanied by manometers required.
The arrangement is made for changing the glass column conveniently and filling it with any type of packing required.
