Distillation has historically been the main method for separating
mixtures in the chemical process industry. However, despite the
flexibility and widespread use of distillation processes, they still
remain extremely energy inefficient. Increased optimization and novel
distillation concepts can deliver substantial benefits, not just in
terms of significantly lower energy use, but also in reducing capital
investment and improving eco-efficiency. While likely to remain the
separation technology of choice for the next few decades, there is no
doubt that distillation technologies need to make radical changes in
order to meet the demands of the energy-conscious society.
Advanced Distillation Technologies: Design, Control and Applications
gives a deep and broad insight into integrated separations using
non-conventional arrangements, including both current and upcoming
process intensification technologies.
It includes:
- Key concepts in distillation technology
- Principles of design, control, sizing and economics of distillation
- Dividing-wall column (DWC) – design, configurations, optimal operation and energy efficient and advanced control
- DWC applications in ternary separations, azeotropic, extractive and reactive distillation
- Heat integrated distillation column (HIDiC) – design, equipment and configurations
- Heat-pump assisted applications (MVR, TVR, AHP, CHRP, TAHP and others)
- Cyclic distillation technology – concepts, modeling approach, design and control issues
- Reactive distillation – fundamentals, equipment, applications, feasibility scheme
- Results of rigorous simulations in Mathworks Matlab & Simulink, Aspen Plus, Dynamics and Custom Modeler
Containing
abundant examples and industrial case studies, this is a unique
resource that tackles the most advanced distillation technologies – all
the way from the conceptual design to practical implementation.
