Liquid-Liquid Extraction Pilot Plant Technical Training Equipment

ULL Liquid-Liquid Extraction Pilot Plant Technical Training Equipment

This unit includes two separate tanks for the solvent and for the phase having to be refined, that are sent to the extraction column by two metering pumps; the column is provided with top and bottom phase separators and with two other tanks for collecting the refined and extracted products.
TRAINING PROGRAM
