Hydrogenation Skid
Hydrogenation Skid
Equipment Description:
 The skid is located in an explosion proof room Class-I Div-2 and capable to handle
class C&D solvent. A special arrangement is made to handle hydrogen.
The equipment skid is equipped with:
 20L SS-316L High Pressure Reactor from Parr Inst. Company, maximum design
pressure is 1000psi.
 Air driven motor for agitation
 Cooling/Heating coil as well as welded jacket. If required jacket can be made
operational.
 Different instruments as Taco meter, Flow switch, pressure transmitter, control
valve, rupture disc, relief valve, pressure gauges, solenoid valve, and Hydrogen
Pressure regulator manifold.
 Two catalyst filters with particles retaining capacity up to 18 μm and 3μm
respectively are mounted on skids in series. One additional portable catalyst
filter unit with particle retaining capacity up to 0.2 μm is available and can be
installed in series with other two filters if needed.
 Whole unit is PLC controlled and can operate in semi-auto or manual mode as
required.
Note: At present all the instruments are capable to handle the maximum pressure up to
100psi but skid can be made operational for pressure as high as 1000psi by further
modification if required.

Hydrogen cylinders and pressure regulator station is located outside the building.
Installed orifice in the hydrogen supply line restricts the excess hydrogen flow in
case any major leaks.
The whole unit is PLC controlled can be operated in semi-auto or manual as
required. Safety interlocks prevents any uncontrolled process to happen.
In case of emergency unit can be bring into shutdown mode simply by hitting the
emergency button.
Any un expected release of material during the process will be captured into sand
trap on the roof top.
If required material can be filtered up-to a 0.2 micron level using separate filtration
unit.
Equipment is ideal for optimization as well as scale-up purpose.

Equipment Description:
Ozonolysis skid is CSA approved unit located in Room#215A. It comprises of 6ft
high and 3”dia. SS-316 column packed with Raschig rings, two metering pumps,
ozone destruction unit, and portable as well as fixed storage vessels.
Ozone generator in conjunction with air compressor and oxygen generator are
located in Room#216. Building glycol and separate Lauda chiller (In Room#216)
are being used for cooling purpose. It can process up to 40kg of oil in a day.
Skid is equipped with different safety instruments as ozone sensors, temperature
sensors, pressure transmitter, safety relief valves and temperature control valve.
The Ozonolysis column is 6ft high and 3”dia. Packed column with Raschig ring.
Operation is carried out in counter current fashion ideal for gas-liquid reaction.
All the associated utilities equipments are placed in Room#216
Specification:
Metering pumps:
 Oil Pump: 2.2kg/hr
 Solvent pump: 12kg/hr
Ozone generator: 0.4kg/hr (Oxygen as Feed)
Fixed vessel working volume: 70L

The skid is located in explosion proof room( Class-I Div-2 ) and capable to handle
class C&D solvent.
Unit is PLC controlled and mounted on skid itself.
Process safety interlocks prevents any uncontrolled process parameters and to the
extreme it will shutdown the whole process.
Ozone sensors( 0-1 ppm) are mounted on skid itself and close proximity to ozone
generator in Room 216.
In case of emergency unit can be put into safe mode by simply hitting the
emergency button located on skid itself.
Rupture disc prevent any personal injury or equipment damage in case of explosion
within the equipment and any release of material will be collected into sand trap
placed on the roof top.
Skid is ideal for scale-up process
Wiped Film Evaporator Skid
Wiped Film Evaporator Skid
Equipment Description:

It is a 6” SS-316 WFE unit manufactured by POPE Scientific Inc located in
Room#215A.
Specifications:
6” Wiped Film Evaporator with glass filled Teflon wipers and surface area of2.36
sq.ft
 A gear pump for product (Heavy product) and two diaphragm pumps for distillate
(Light product) and feed.
 A packed column with approximately 16 theoretical plates and controlled reflux
capabilities is mounted on top of the unit.
 Unit is equipped with several temperature sensors, pressure transmitter and safety
interlocks in case of any emergency arise during the process run.
 A stand alone Hot-Oil and chiller unit are located in Room# 216.
WFE unit:
 Ideal for processing temperature sensitive material as Fragrances, neutraceuticals,
polymer and etc.
 It can be used for distillation, evaporation, concentration, separation, purification
and deodorization.


Short residence time (liquid is on the hot surface for seconds)
Operate Under High Vacuum (reduced operating temperature)
Excellent Heat Transfer (process film is continuously agitated)
Handle Viscous Fluids (wipers pump liquid down & provide thin film)
Handle Dirty/Fouling Fluids (wipers continuously agitate film)
No Bottom Steady Bearing (wipers effective at low speed )
