This pilot plant allows the study of the continuous process control, based on the typical four variables, that is,pressure, temperature, flow and level. This plant is made of real industrial and commercial components, easily identified by the student and commonly utilized in Industrial plants.
Besides the indicators and sensors, the plant includes transmitters that convert the physical signals to electric signals, to be processed by the plc and/or the PID controllers. Additionally, the plant has a terminal bus, where all the electrical signals are available for an external controller.

This plant is basically composed of:

1. The main aluminum structure with rollers for easy moving.
2. Dimensions: 2400x800x1700 mm.
3. The control panel with plc and all the electric components for plant control and study
4. Two pressurized vessels (one made in acrylic and another Made in stainless steel)
5. A centrifugal recirculation pump controlled by a
6. Frequency inverter that is on the pid network
7. A heater and heat interchanger
8. Temperature, pressure, flow and level sensors
9. Directional valves
10. Electrical power controller
11. A pid controller

Technical Features:

1. Vessel capacity: 120 Liters
