Conceptual Design of Reactive Distillation Columns with Non-Reactive Sections
Reactive distillation has received intense attention due to the well known benefits of integrating distillation with reaction in a single unit. While there are procedures available for the synthesis of non-reactive columns and of reaction-separation systems, the design of reactive distillation columns is still a challenge. This work presents a new synthesis and design methodology for reactive d...
متن کاملDesign optimization of reactive distillation columns by memetic algorithms
Design optimization problems in chemical engineering and in many other engineering domains are characterized by the presence of a large number of discrete and continuous decision variables, complex nonlinear models that restrict the search space, nonlinear cost functions, and the presence of many local optima. The classical approach to such problems is the use of MINLP solvers that work on a su...
متن کاملEffect of Number of Fractionating Trays on Reactive Distillation Performance
Sneesby et al. recently suggested that adding trays in the stripping and rectifying sections of a reacti®e distillation column can degrade performance. This effect, if true, is not only counterintuiti®e, but ®ery disturbing because it suggests that the design of reacti®e distillation columns cannot use conser®ati®e estimates of tray numbers, that is, we cannot simply add excess trays, as in con...
متن کاملEntrainer-enhanced Reactive Distillation
The paper presents the use of a Mass Separation Agent (entrainer) in reactive distillation processes. This can help to overcome limitations due to distillation boundaries, and in the same time increase the degrees of freedom in design. The catalytic esterification of fatty acids with light alcohols C2-C4 is studied as application example. Because the alcohol and water distillate in top simultan...
متن کاملOptimization based conceptual design of reactive distillation for selectivity engineering
This work presents some representative reactive distillation (RD) models to obtain attainable region for multi-component reaction systems when feed contains significant amount of inerts in it. One can achieve maximum selectivity for a quantitative conversion unlike conventional reactors with semibatch reactive rectification (SRR) as the best RD configuration when the inert is more volatile than...
