Advanced Training Solutions for Chemical Engineering & Unit Operations
Pignat’s comprehensive range of chemical engineering training solutions supports hands-on education from basic lab experiments to industrial-scale simulations. The Mini Units are ideal for introductory and lab-scale learning, offering compact systems for foundational topics like distillation, extraction, evaporation, and reaction kinetics. These units are designed to provide clear visual operation and quick setup—perfect for university labs, technical schools, and entry-level chemical engineering courses.
For more advanced study, the Unit Operations line features pilot-scale systems that mimic real industrial processes with greater complexity. Students and professionals can explore filtration, adsorption, crystallization, biodiesel synthesis, and multi-phase separation with precision and realism. Multi-Purpose Reactors—available in manual and SCADA-automated versions—enable in-depth analysis and control of chemical reactions across a wide range of configurations. At the highest level, OTP Pilots offer industrial-scale learning with systems like continuous distillation and CO₂ absorption and regeneration, preparing learners for careers in chemical plants, energy sectors, and process industries.
