Continuous still controller for a steam-heated column
Wash flows into the column continuously and a steam generator supplies the steam — the controller runs warm-up, stabilisation and draws the product by ABV.
Continuous wash column: steam generator, warm-up, column stabilization, distillation with wash feed regulated by ABV, cool-down.
The apparatus in the designerParts snap into place and dimensions are calculated automatically.
Equipment selection · Continuous wash column
The column —
built in the designer
A continuous column is assembled in the scheme designer from the same parts as the real hardware: steam generator, column, sight glasses, reflux condenser, product condenser. Dimensions are calculated automatically — and the equipment is matched to them.

Instead of you
What the controller
does for you
The scenario runs the column from warm-up to a steady draw: it holds steam pressure, wash feed and column temperature. Each script minds its own task — and keeps working when nobody is around.

Equipment with automation
Have a column —
the controller runs the process
- 6control points — where a master distiller puts them, not wherever they happen to fit
- 5stages the controller runs on its own — from warm-up to the end of the run
- 5scripts hold steam, wash feed, product draw and ABV
- 1one scheme for everything: the designer, the control panel and the controller all work from the same apparatus

Common questions
Do I need a steam generator?
The continuous column scenario is built around steam: the steam generator script holds the pressure while wash flows into the column.
Can I try it without hardware?
Yes: the emulator has a continuous column build with the real firmware and virtual hardware.
