Blue-Bottle Process with PLC

E6.7.3.1
Blue-Bottle-Process with PLC

System
The student learns to monitor and control a real chemical process in chemical engineering with a clear reaction.

Objectives

• Control and optimisation of a redox process.
• Experimental transfer of the process into a controller
• Operation of an SPC and optimisation of the program for a real system.
• Function review.

Design
The learning system contains:

• Reaction vessel
• Immersion photometer with control unit for connecting the sensor to the SPC
• Ventilation pump
• Chemicals and accessories for carrying out experiments.

Method
Student experiments based on the assignments in the experiment description.

Target Group
Students completing vocational training in electronic engineering for the chemical industry and students of process technology are the target group addressed. The course conveys knowledge on an intermediate level. Prior knowledge of the fundamentals of SPC programming is required.

Topics

• Basics of SPC programming.
• Optimisation of process systems
• Controlling processes
