3. General pilot design
Pilot plant equipment should be easy to dismantle and reconfigure (i.e. reusable in a new configuration). It is rare for a distillation pilot plant to operate for more than a month on a particular problem, and its high cost means that it has to be reused for subsequent studies.

Generally speaking, we try to adopt the same material exchange system for the pilot column as that used for the industrial column.
