Absorption in Packed Column
Product Code : LSK-TWL-10804
Absorption in Packed Column (SKU LSK-TWL-10804) is a mass transfer trainer that demonstrates the basics of gas absorption as a chemical engineering unit operation. Feed gas and absorption liquid meet in a glass packed column, so every stage of the process is visible. It is used in mass transfer labs of degree and diploma chemical engineering courses and for project work. Science Lab Supplies manufactures it at its factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells it direct to colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The heart of the unit is a glass absorption column holding a packed bed, in which the absorption liquid and the feed gases exchange mass. The glass allows complete visual monitoring, and the set-up supports pressure drop measurements across the bed as well as absorption, humidification and stripping experiments.

Applications and Experiments for the Absorption in Packed Column
The column is used to show how a soluble gas passes into a liquid across a packed bed and to compare absorption characteristics of packed columns. Pressure drop readings across the bed introduce column sizing, since determining column diameter depends on that analysis, a standard topic in mass transfer practicals.
- B.Tech/B.E. chemical engineering mass transfer lab: gas absorption in a packed column.
- Pressure drop across the packed bed and its role in finding column diameter.
- Humidification and stripping as related gas-liquid operations.
- Diploma chemical engineering and final-year project or research work.
Standard Scope of Supply
The unit is supplied as a single set-up built around the glass packed absorption column for gas-liquid contact, as described above; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation. The feed gas, absorption liquid and any analysis glassware are provided by the laboratory according to the system it studies.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations are available for one column or for a complete mass transfer lab, and every quotation from Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for the requested quantity. Departments buying engineering lab equipment in India can add related separation trainers to the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Send enquiries through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and use the lab tender page for tender supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can students study on the Absorption in Packed Column?
They can study gas absorption into a liquid, compare the absorption characteristics of packed columns, measure pressure drop across the bed, and run humidification and stripping experiments on the same unit.
Why is the column made of glass?
The glass column gives complete visual monitoring, so students can watch liquid distribution, wetting of the packing and gas-liquid contact while they record their readings.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies is the manufacturer. The column is built at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotations come directly from the factory.
Can it be used for project work?
Yes. The unit is described as suitable for project or research work as well as routine teaching practicals, which makes it useful for final-year student projects.
