Distillation Perfomance of Vertical Cloth -plate Type Packings

Choosing Trays and Packings for Distillation

Distillation towers are essential to the chemical process industries (CPI), so it is imperative that they are properly designed and operated. Tower internals are arguably the most important piece of process equipment, since they cannot easily be accessed after startup. If the tower internals malfunction, the distillation tower will follow suit and the entire chemical process will suffer. This a...

Distillation Columns with Structured Packings in the next Decade

The analysis of the history of structured packings allows the conclusion that the innovation cycle will become faster. Based on the separation power as an alternative way to represent the performance characteristics an estimate of the next level of what might be the ultimative separation power is given. Regarding the column internals like distributors only slight improvements are expected, typi...

Analysis of the Dynamic Characteristics of the Distillation Column of Plate Type

The relevance of the study related to the necessity to convert to “unmanned” production in a refinery and, as a consequence, we must derive a mathematical model of the high-octane gasoline process. This paper introduces a calculation procedure for modelling and dynamic analysis of a condensate distillation (rectification) column using by the mass balance structure. In this study, the reflux rat...

Experimental study of an inclined flat plate-type solar water distillation system

Flat plate-type solar water distillation (FPSWD) is having importance for providing hot water and drinking water simultaneously to households in rural areas or small community/hotels. It utilizes solar radiation to heat the water, produce fresh water out of the saline or brackish water, and also produce hot water. The paper is focused on field performance of inclined FPSWD for domestic and comm...
