Bubble Cap Distillation Column Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-FMAHLE-7316
Jlab Export is a leading Bubble Cap Distillation Column Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Bubble Cap Distillation Column (code EL-FMAHLE-7316) is a stainless steel plate column with seven plates, each carrying one bubble cap, mounted above an electrically heated reboiler. Chemical engineering students run it at total reflux and in batch mode on a binary mixture, setting the R/D ratio on the automatic reflux divider. JLab builds this seven-plate column in Ambala, India.

How the Bubble-Cap Plates Contact Vapour and Liquid
The reboiler boils the charge and the vapour climbs the column plate by plate. On each plate it rises under the bubble cap, is turned down into the liquid held there and bubbles through it, so the column works as a series of separate contact stages. Vapour leaving the top is condensed in the shell and tube condenser. The automatic divider then splits the condensate: reflux runs back down the column and distillate goes to the receiving tank, while the bottom product collects in its own tank. Insulation over the whole column keeps heat loss low.
Total-Reflux and Batch Distillation Experiments
With all condensate returned, the column runs at total reflux; top and bottom samples are analysed on a refractometer, and their compositions are used to estimate the minimum number of theoretical plates. In batch runs at a chosen R/D ratio, distillate samples taken as the run proceeds give the batch distillation curves for a binary system and let students verify the binary batch distillation equation for a known number of theoretical plates. Column temperatures are read on the panel indicator through its multi-channel switch.
Sieve-Plate and Packed Alternatives
- Sieve Plate Distillation Column — seven sieve trays replace the bubble caps for the same reflux experiments.
- Packed Distillation Column — borosilicate glass Raschig rings give continuous rather than plate-by-plate contact.
Both columns sit with the other process and mechanics trainers in Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Lab Equipment, part of the Engineering Lab Equipment range.
