IC56D Saline Water Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant
Equipment for water desalination by reverse osmosis
with a capacity of 60 l/h. Osmosis is a natural
phenomenon that takes place when two solutions with
different concentrations, such as pure water and saline
water are separated by a semi-permeable diaphragm.
Reverse Osmosis Osmosis can be reversed and we
can submit the more concentrated solution (such as
saline water) to a pressure that is higher than the
osmotic pressure and in this case obtain a reverse
flow where the diaphragm will block all the dissolved
mineral salts, bacteria, micro-organisms and all
suspended solids. This is called “reverse osmosis”.
In this way we shall obtain water with a good chemical
and bacteriorlogic purity at a low cost and without using chemical reactives such as hydrochloric acid and
caustic soda used in ion exchange resin regeneration.
ER7D Pilot Plant for Hydrogen and Biogas Production

The Pilot Plant allows the laboratory
testing of different kinds of biomasses
(such as organic residuals, lignin and
cellulose residuals, industrial and
zootechnical wastes) in order to produce
hydrogen and biogas.
Hydrogen production is the main
purpose of the plant, whilst biogas
production allows valorising as much as
possible the sewage and supporting the
plant from an energetic point of view.
The process in question involves
hydrogen and biogas production and
purification by means of biomass
fermentation.
The plant has been designed to operate
continuously.
The prototypal plant is fitted with
analytical instrumentation which allows
monitoring the main process parameters
in order to optimise its productivity and, when necessary, highlighting its problems.
The main components include automatic checks and alarms, so that the plant is user-friendly and safe.
The operating procedure is the following:
• inlet biomass chipping (sewage and solid components);
• biomass pre-treating and homogenizing;
• hydrogen production in bioreactor, gas blow-by, purification and stocking;
• biogas production in bioreactor, purification and stocking;
• exhaust sewage drainage.

RE-BIOMAS Pilot Plant for the Production of Biogas from Biomass
The Re-Biomas plant has been
specially designed for the study
of the anaerobic fermentation
process resulting in the formation
of methane gas (biogas) from
organic waste material (biomass).
In the field of the so-called
“soft technologies”, anaerobic
fermentation plays a primary role
on account of the contribution it
can make to the solution of major
problems to do both with the
energy crisis and with the disposal
of organic waste materials.
The Re-Biomas pilot plant has
been conceived so as to illustrate
effectively the functional parameters which determine the quantity and properties of the biogas produced
as well as the criteria governing system operation, in particular in terms of safety.
Thus, this unit can be viewed as a valuable teaching tool for the understanding of both the processes and the
technology adopted in the design of real systems. The system is equipped with all the necessary instruments to
carry out the tests. Besides the basic system can be implemented with several optional instruments.

T108/10D/C Unit Thermal Solar Refrigeration Cycle

This unit is one of the most interesting applications of solar thermal energy

chain, air conditioning, chilling water and in general in all the applications of
refrigeration and conditioning purposes without the use of electrical energy.
It allows the experimental study of an absorption refrigeration plant using
solar energy as energy source. The solar energy is captured by a cylindrical
parabolic solar concentrator in which the parabola axis is constituted by
a high thermal conductivity tube and black color containing an adequate
liquid able to capture the solar energy increasing its temperature. The heat
is transferred to the generator of a refrigeration absorption cycle running
with ammonia/water solution. The plant is fully equipped and permits to
understand the thermal solar energy conversion principles by a parabolic
structure as well as the conversion of the heat to cold via the absorption
cycle that is able to run with any sort of quality of energy.

COMPUTERIZED
SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE
The most significant equipment can
be supplied with Process Control and
Data Acquisition System for Personal
Computer with Software for Windows.
Besides a wide range of simulation
software is also available in many
fields of Didacta’s production.
Besides Didacta Italia provides a
series of systems allowing up to 30
students to work simultaneously in a
local net or remotely.
SAD Didacta Data Acquisition System

The Data Acquisition System makes it possible to
acquire the main process parameters on a Personal
Computer, in real time, and to obtain the greatest
possible learning advantages from the plant. The
data acquisition and analysis software runs in the
MS-Windows environment and makes it possible to
acquire on a Personal Computer all the quantities
considered during the tests, to process them and
to produce diagrams for a thorough understanding
of the process and the problems associated with
system operation. Furthermore, it makes it possible
to save the data and the diagrams obtained on a
disk, or to print them out.

Computerized Systems & Software
DNS Didacta Net System
It permits to view and acquire data from the units remotely, from any
PC integrated in the local net (LAN) through a Server connected with
each Didacta unit. Each student can acquire the data from the units and
perform the described exercises, save the data and print the diagrams.
Moreover, if the units are not connected to the server, each student can
simulate the process carried out by the units themselves, using the supplied
software, by simply inserting numerical values through the keyboard. This
useful tool allows students to perform exercises in complete autonomy,
without the supervision required when units are in operation. In this
configuration it is even possible to recall the experimental data previously
acquired for a better analysis or a refresher Moreover, if the units are not connected to the server, each
student can simulate the process carried out by the units themselves, using the supplied software, by simply
inserting numerical values through the keyboard. This useful tool allows students to perform exercises in
complete autonomy, without the supervision required when units are in operation. In this configuration it
is even possible to recall the experimental data previously acquired for a better analysis or a refresher and
in case of remote learning it is a rather useful feature.
It is of course possible to deploy the system working in remote to different locations for each of them
having a PC Master with a DNSR system. Each PC Master, along with its local net, works exactly as
previously described.
Didacta Italia will supply both PC master and software licenses for 30 computers, while the customer must
have internet connection on both sites, his own local net and student PCs.
DNSR Didacta Net System Remote

In order to meet the needs of customers the basic system described
above can also be expanded to distance learning with the Didacta Net
System Remote in addition to DNS.
A PC master, connected through internet, can acquire the data from the
units and perform the exercises, while all the student (up to 30 PCs),
connected through the LAN, can visualize the acquired data, see the
calculation results and the diagrams. Obviously, in the case of teaching
laboratory at a distance, must be present in the place where are located
the equipment trained personnel for their operation in such a way as to
allow the acquisition of data by the user in remote.
