PERFORMANCE INDICES TO DESIGN A MULTICOMPONENT BATCH DISTILLATION COLUMN USING A SHORTCUT METHOD

Prediction of the Operating Conditions in a Batch Distillation Column Using a Shortcut Method

A shortcut procedure as quick, easy-to use method for design and simulation of multicomponent batch distillation is used to predict the operating condition of recovering xylene from solvent in an existing batch distillation column in benzol refinery. The procedure can be used to investigate the effect of the operating parameters on the operation of column for three possible modes of batch d...

Dynamic Modelling and Optimal Control of a Multicomponent Batch Packed Distillation Column

A dynamic model for the simulation of the batch operation of a multicomponent packed distillation column is developed. The accuracy of simulation code is verified by using two types of mixtures (cyclohexane-n-heptane-toluene and ethanol–water) theoretically and experimentally. An optimum internal reflux ratio profile is searched to maximize the distillate amount of a specified concentration for...

State Estimator Design for Multicomponent Batch Distillation Columns

I n the control of batch distillation columns, one of the problems is the difficulty in monitoring the compositions. This problem can be handled by estimating the compositions from readily available online temperature measurements using a state estimator. In this study, a state estimator that infers the product composition in a multicomponent batch distillation column (MBDC) from the temperatur...
