UD Technologies · Vadodara, India
Chemical engineering education
Make transport phenomena and unit operations visible, measurable and teachable.
UD Technologies develops technical teaching equipment for universities, engineering colleges and research institutes. Glass process sections allow students to observe flow, phase behaviour, reaction and heat transfer while recording the operating data needed to connect theory with experiment.
Systems can be supplied as focused laboratory apparatus or as integrated pilot plants. Optional computerised control and data supervision support repeatable practical work, live demonstrations and research projects across chemical engineering and allied disciplines.
Visible process
Glass equipment exposes flow and phase behaviour.
Modular scope
Choose one experiment or an integrated pilot plant.
Digital option
Computerised control and data supervision are available.
Salient features
A practical teaching platform across the core curriculum.
The final equipment arrangement, materials and controls are selected around the process duty and site conditions.
Heat-transfer studies
Compare exchanger flow patterns, condensation, evaporation and boiling.
Reaction engineering
Study batch, semi-batch, CSTR, PFR, packed-bed and falling-film reactors.
Mass transfer
Run distillation, extraction, absorption, adsorption and wetted-wall experiments.
Mechanical operations
Demonstrate filtration, drying, cyclone and hydrocyclone separation.
Pilot-plant integration
Combine reaction, separation, evaporation and heat exchange in one system.
Data acquisition
Add sensors, computerised control and supervisory data logging.
Teaching programme
Select equipment by subject and learning outcome.
Apparatus can be configured around prescribed experiments, available utilities, class size and the required level of instrumentation.
