Unit Operation Laboratory

Unit Operation Laboratory


In this lab, students perform experiments related to fundamental chemical engineering operations like distillation, filtration, and extraction. It bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical industrial applications. The following experiments are conducted in this lab:

  • Batch distillation experiment
  • Gas absorption tower experiment
  • Rotary dryer experiment
  • Spray dryer experiment
  • Continuous distillation tower experiment

Through the laboratory experience students can do the following:

  • Develop deeper understanding of concepts.
  • Experience phenomena directly.
  • Connect book knowledge to real-world applications.
  • Apply concepts to new situations and solve authentic problems.
  • Develop thinking skills (critical, quantitative, qualitative).
  • Develop data analysis skills.
  • Develop experimental skills (e.g., design, observation, and use of equipment).
  • Develop communication skills, including those involved in working in groups.
  • Develop an appreciation for research in the field.
