The primary separation operation for crude oil occurs when the crude stream flows through a vessel of sufficient capacity to allow gravitational separation of the gas, liquid hydrocarbon and water phases. Gas flow passes through a secondary vertical 2-phase separator, or knock-out ports to remove any further liquids from the gas stream. Mini Plant Large Scale Three Phase Separator process trainer blends air, water and refined oil to emulate a crude oil stream. This fluid mixture then flows into a horizontal separator vessel fabricated of clear PVC. The entire trainer is controlled from a distributed control system (DCS). The separator is equipped with industry typical process instrumentation.

The water being the heaviest in gravity stays at the bottom whilst the oil floats on top and the gas occupies the void space in the vessel. At the secondary separating section, the fluids are allowed to slow down and separate by gravity.
A combination of refined oil, water and air enters the vessel, the flow is directed to the spherical end of the vessel where primary separation occurs and then flows through the vessel where it meets the coalescer.
Electronic drive units independently control both motors. Meters show motor electrical power consumption of each motor. A close-coupled load cell on each motor measures torque. Sensor on each motor measures speed, shown by a digital indicator. This test set has two independently-controlled, motor driven compressors, inter cooler and air receiver. It works as a single-stage, two-stage or two-stage compressor with inter cooler. The product of the torque and speed gives true shaft power. To allow students to study different types of air compressor systems, diverter valves allow air to move in different directions. All controls and instrumentation are on an easy-to-operate mimic panel. Electric motors and low-maintenance toothed belts drive two twin-cylinder, air-cooled reciprocating compressors. These include:
From the first stage to the receiver
To the second stage, by means of the integral water cooled inter cooler
Directly to the second stage
Compressors:
Twin cylinders

The Magnetic Pump Learning System curriculum explains the function, operation, installation, disassembly, inspection, and maintenance of a magnetic pump. The Magnetic Pump Learning System covers the magnetic pump, which uses a magnetic coupling to prevent direct contact between the motor drive shaft and the pump impeller. Additional topics include: how to properly align the magnetic coupling; how to troubleshoot problems; how to select the correct magnetic pump for an application; how to determine a pumps flow/pressure characteristics; and how each component of the pump factors into the overall operation. This feature eliminates any possibility of leakage or seepage and makes the magnetic pump an ideal selection for pumping hazardous chemicals that could harm the environment or for expensive liquids where it is important to reduce loss.
The Magnetic Pump Learning System includes a polypropylene housed, c-face mounted magnetic pump with a centrifugal impeller, a piping network, a magnetic coupling, and a relief valve. In fact, all of the included components are industrial-grade and will allow learners to gain immediate hands-on experience and practice that can apply to real-world mechanisms. The polypropylene housing is chemically resistant, which allows the magnetic pump to move fluids such as acids, alkalis, plating solutions, sterile solutions, and brine for applications in hospitals, chemical laboratories, and wineries. This commitment to providing learns with top-flight equipment is one reason why is the worlds leader in skills-based, interactive technical learning.

The working principle of the apparatus is the following: an air flow generated by a centrifugal fan enters a tunnel passing through a fluid thread rectifier. As the air passes through the tunnel it undergoes a series of treatments, until it arrives in the last chamber, which represents the environment to be conditioned. The Air Conditioning Study Unit With Climatic Chamber And Air Recycle Circuit has been developed for insertion in the most advanced educational subjects. Simplicity and clearness are the fundamental requirements that permit the teacher and students to operate without having to deal first with complicated utilization procedures. Before this last stage, it may be pre-heated and moisturized by water diffusers, to experiment on heating environments and to have the opportunity to vary as many parameters as possible for a complete study on air conditioning. The flow is pre-heated, then moisturized by steam diffusers it is cooled through the evaporator and sent to the final chamber.

The equipment consists of a ten litre reactor vessel mounted on a vacuum formed plastic base, with a liquid feed pump, air supply and instrumentation for monitoring and controlling the process.
The porous liner is removable for cleaning, and a spare liner is supplied.
Waste water is drawn from a floor-standing feed tank (not supplied) by a DC motor driven peristaltic pump. Rotational speed and thus flow rate, are accurately set by a ten-turn potentiometer. The pump delivers the feed to the reactor vessel through a transparent lid.
The cylindrical wall of the reactor is made from a porous plastic material to retain the suspended solids while allowing treated water to pass through to the outer, annular exit chamber. This design allows the essential features of the aerobic treatment process to be studied without the distractions of having to settle the solids adequately enough for external recycle - a well known laboratory problem.
Air is supplied at a measured rate by a small compressor, and discharges into the base of the reactor via a spider-arm dispenser, designed to prevent blockages as well as to produce sufficient bubbling for stirring and reaction.
Discharge is by gravity to a floor-standing product tank (not supplied).
The reactor temperature is maintained by a 3-term controller which varies power to an immersion heater within the vessel. Any temperature between ambient and +35deg C may be selected, the best conditions being a few degrees above the diurnal maximum in the user's laboratory.
The liquid level in the reactor is maintained at a constant value of 5-10 litres, by an adjustable overflow device connected to the outer annular chamber of the vessel.

The mixed vapour contains a higher concentration of the component with the lower boiling point (ethanol). It leaves the top of the column and is condensed using a condenser and a phase separation tank. Distillation is used to separate liquid mixtures made up of individual liquids that are soluble in one another. Rectification refers to distillation in a counterflow. Part of this condensate is collected in a tank as product while the rest is fed back into the column. The mixed vapour produced then moves upwards in the column. Here, on its way downwards, it undergoes further heating and material exchange with the rising mixed vapour. Ethanol/water is recommended as the liquid mixture for the. It is fed into the column. It partially evaporates on its way to the bottom of the column where it is heated to boiling. The liquid phase moves to the bottom and can be collected in two tanks. This exchange causes the vapour phase to become richer in ethanol and the liquid phase to become richer in water.
