Pignat’s Mini Units provide compact, bench-scale systems tailored for foundational instruction in chemical engineering. These units offer a hands-on, visual approach to understanding key principles such as distillation, evaporation, absorption, crystallization, and liquid-liquid extraction. Designed for ease of use and quick experimentation, they are ideal for technical programs, undergraduate labs, and institutions introducing core unit operations.
Each Mini Unit features transparent construction and manual operation to enhance observation and comprehension. With models like the DVI/100 series for continuous distillation or the REA/2000 chemical reactor, educators can demonstrate essential process behaviors and thermodynamic principles with minimal space and setup requirements.
Pignat’s Pilot and Advanced Unit Operations systems bring industrial realism into the classroom with equipment that bridges theory and large-scale process simulation. These systems allow learners to operate advanced filtration, biodiesel synthesis, pulsed extraction, multi-effect evaporation, and crystallization equipment that mimics industrial setups while remaining safe and educational.
Perfect for advanced labs, engineering programs, and workforce development, these systems offer sophisticated instrumentation and optional computer integration. Whether studying gas-solid adsorption or operating a continuous reactor, learners gain a deep understanding of dynamic process control and chemical behavior under realistic conditions.
Pignat’s Multi-Purpose Reactors are modular systems that support a wide range of chemical reactions and configurations. Available in both manual and SCADA-controlled automated versions, these reactors allow for in-depth experimentation with parameters such as temperature, pressure, mixing speed, and reaction kinetics—mirroring real-world chemical production environments.
Ideal for upper-level university courses, research applications, and operator training, these versatile systems support synthesis, batch and continuous operation, and multiphase reactions. Units like the UPR/5000 combine automation, safety interlocks, and real-time data acquisition for modern chemical engineering instruction.
Pignat’s OTP Pilots simulate full-scale industrial processes, giving students and professionals a realistic, high-fidelity environment to explore advanced chemical engineering operations. These systems replicate complex processes like controlled continuous distillation, CO₂ absorption and regeneration, and distillation control using industrial-grade components and instrumentation.
Designed for universities, pilot plants, and advanced workforce development centers, OTP Pilots emphasize safety, control systems, and operational efficiency. Learners gain experience with real process variables, troubleshooting, and scalable process optimization—preparing them for roles in chemical manufacturing, environmental engineering, and process design.
