TMB Simulator

Steady-state simulation of a true moving bed: the adsorbent circulates counter-currently to the liquid and nothing switches, so the unit settles to a genuine time-invariant profile rather than a cyclic one. The column and isotherm come from Triangle Theory, the same design the SMB Simulator runs — a TMB is the limit an SMB approaches as columns are added.

Current design: Langmuir isotherm · switch 300 s (sets the solid flow) · feed 6.63 mL/min

Flow rates are set for a TMB and differ from the SMB page's; the results panel shows Q/(Q̄·H) per zone.

Results

Set an operating point on the triangle, then run a simulation.

Simulation

Mass transfer: local equilibrium. A true moving bed assumes the solid is always in equilibrium with the liquid it moves against.
