About York Scheibels Extraction Unit
York Scheibels Extraction Unit
The setup is designed to demonstrate principles of extraction and mass transfer operation in a YORK SCHEIBEL'S column. The set up consists of a glass column, feed tanks, air regulator with pressure gauge, receiving tanks and piping. Rotameter are provided for flow measurement. The glass column is divided into multiple stages; each stage consists of a woven wire mesh (calming) section and a mechanical agitation section. The agitator speed can be varied by drive. The presence of alternatively agitating and calming sections yield higher extraction efficiency than conventional packed column
