AEHC コンピューター制御水素化実験装置

The Computer Controlled Hydrogenation Unit (PC), "AEHC", unit is a batch processing vessel, which is used to adjust the degree ofsaturation of 22 l. batches of edible oils. It is easy and safe to use.

The Computer Controlled Hydrogenation Unit (PC), "AEHC", unit for oil hydrogenation has the following main elements:

• Catalyst tank where the catalyst is mixed with oil.
• Catalyst tank agitator to mix the catalyst and the oil.
• Hydrogenation vessel (reactor) where the three elements are mixed (oil, hydrogen and catalyst) and the reaction takes place.
• Reactor agitator to promote hydrogenation.
• Hydrogen diffuser for introducing hydrogen into the reactor.
• Heating coil through which steam at high temperature circulates in order to heat up the oil until the reaction starts.
• Cooling coil through which water circulates in order to limit the heating of the exothermic reaction.
• Vacuum pump for vacuum creation inside the reactor.
• Oil pump (filter pump) to extract oil from the reactor and take it to the filter.
• Filter where the hydrogenated oil is filtered to recover the catalyst.
• Visors, filters, regulators, ball valves, solenoid valves, non-return valve, security valve, rupture disc, hydrogen detector, manometers, temperature, pressure, level and flow sensors.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + aControl Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, forcontrolling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
