The equipment consists of jacketed pressure vessel for distillation. Steam from a steam generator can either be allowed to enter in the outer jacket or in the vessel. The vapours form the top of the vessel are condensed in the shell and tube type condenser by circulating cooling water, supplied by laboratory overhead tank. The condensate is collected in a separating chamber. The set-up is fitted with steam trap, control valves, pressure gauge, temperature sensors and other instrumentations required.

•An ENGLISH instruction manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc. will be provided along with the Apparatus.

•The whole set-up is well designed and arranged on a rigid structure painted with industrial PU Paint.
