Equipment
Multiple Dividing Wall Column
The first pilot-scale multiple dividing wall column. The column allows the separation of a quaternary mixture into four pure components. For this purpose, a simplified configuration with two dividing walls was selected, whereby the dividing walls are not physically designed but the corresponding column segments are run in parallel in this sections. During the design phase, great importance was attached to flexible operation. The plant is 9.6 m high, has a total of about 220 theoretical stages and is equipped with a vacuum system.
30L Brewery Kit
The 30 L brewery kit from "Klarstein" allows the controlled mashing, lautering and hop boiling in one device and is therefore well suited for smaller test runs. This plant is mainly used by the student brewing working group "Kesselgold" for pilot trials before the brewing process is transferred to the large plant.
