In the ever-evolving field of process engineering education, hands-on learning remains an indispensable pillar of technical development. At Armfield, we are proud to support academic and industrial training institutions with state-of-the-art solutions that empower learners and educators alike. One of our standout offerings is our range of highly reliable Distillation Columns training apparatus, specifically engineered to bring clarity, precision, and realism to classroom and laboratory sessions.
Whether it’s food technology, chemical engineering, or general process education, our distillation training systems provide an unmatched platform for understanding core separation principles, operational dynamics, and performance analysis. At Armfield, we don’t just offer products—we offer a complete solution for all types of Distillation Columns training.
Why Distillation Columns Are Central to Process Engineering Education
Distillation is a fundamental separation technique used in countless industries—from food processing and petrochemical refining to pharmaceuticals and environmental science. Understanding distillation is therefore critical for students pursuing careers in these sectors.
However, theoretical knowledge can only take a student so far. To truly comprehend the intricacies of column behaviour, pressure drops, boiling points, relative volatilities, and azeotropic systems, students must experience real-world scenarios in a controlled and repeatable learning environment. This is where Armfield’s Distillation Columns training apparatus comes into play.

Whether you’re teaching the basics of Raoult’s Law or exploring complex multi-component systems, Armfield systems adapt to your curriculum with unmatched ease.
Real-World Application Through Real-Time Experimentation
One of the most frequent praises we receive from academic partners and industrial trainers is how Armfield equipment helps students understand separation principles, column operation and performance analysis through accurate controls and consistent results. Our apparatus is designed not only to teach theory but to replicate real-world behaviours—vital for students stepping into technical careers.
By using Armfield equipment in practical sessions, students are exposed to the same operational challenges and decision-making processes they will face in the field. This enables deeper retention of concepts and greater confidence in applying them in future roles.
Educators benefit too—our equipment allows for structured demonstrations, tailored experimentation, and seamless integration into lab coursework. No more time lost troubleshooting fragile lab setups or waiting for inconsistent results. With Armfield, you get dependable tools built for technical education.
