Distillation has historically been the main method forseparating mixtures in the chemical process industry. However,despite the flexibility and widespread use of distillationprocesses, they still remain extremely energy inefficient.Increased optimization and novel distillation concepts can deliversubstantial benefits, not just in terms of significantly lowerenergy use, but also in reducing capital investment and improvingeco-efficiency. While likely to remain the separation technology ofchoice for the next few decades, there is no doubt thatdistillation technologies need to make radical changes in order tomeet the demands of the energy-conscious society.
Advanced Distillation Technologies: Design, Control andApplications gives a deep and broad insight into integratedseparations using non-conventional arrangements, including bothcurrent and upcoming process intensification technologies.
It includes:
* Key concepts in distillation technology
* Principles of design, control, sizing and economics ofdistillation
* Dividing-wall column (DWC) - design, configurations,optimal operation and energy efficient and advanced control
* DWC applications in ternary separations, azeotropic, extractiveand reactive distillation
* Heat integrated distillation column (HIDiC) - design,equipment and configurations
* Heat-pump assisted applications (MVR, TVR, AHP, CHRP, TAHP andothers)
* Cyclic distillation technology - concepts, modelingapproach, 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, thisis a unique resource that tackles the most advanced distillationtechnologies - all the way from the conceptual design topractical implementation.
