Assessment of the Effect of Feed Plate Location on Interactions for a Binary Distillation Column

The paper considers the effect of feed plate location on the interactions in a seven plate binary distillation column. The mathematical model of the distillation column is deduced based on the equations of mass and energy balances for each stage, detailed model for both reboiler and condenser, and heat transfer equations. The Dynamic Relative Magnitude Criterion, DRMC is used to assess the inte...

The Design and Optimization of Distillation Column with Heat and Power Integrated Systems

Based on two integration steps, an optimization framework is proposed in this work for the synthesis and design of complex distillation sequence. The first step is to employ heat integration in sequence and reduce the heat consumption and total annual cost of the process. The second one is to increase the exergetic efficiency of sequence by generating power in implemented expanders in sequence....

A thermo-hydraulic approach to conceptual design of an internally heat-integrated distillation column (i-HIDiC)

This paper presents a new approach to the conceptual design of internally heatintegrated distillation columns (i-HIDiC), based on column temperature profiles analysis. The paper proposes tools to assess the thermal feasibility of i-HIDiC designs and to determine whether the design and operation are feasible from the hydraulics’ point of view.
