Retrofit of Distillation Columns in a Methanol Plant
Through its ‘Column Targeting Tools’ the Aspen plus simulator performs the ‘Thermal Analysis’ for rigorous column (RadFrac) calculations and produce Column Grand Composite Curves (CGCC) and exergy loss profiles. The CGCC displays the net enthalpies for the actual and ideal operations at each stage, and the cold and hot heat utility requirements, while the exergy loss profiles indicate the level...
متن کاملRetrofit of Distillation Columns in Biodiesel Production Plants
Column grand composite curves and the exergy loss profiles produced by the Column-Targeting Tool of the Aspen Plus simulator are used to assess the performance of the existing distillation columns, and reduce the costs of operation by appropriate retrofits in a biodiesel production plant. Effectiveness of the retrofits is assessed by means of thermodynamics and economic improvements. We have co...
متن کاملAnalysis and Control of Distillation Columns
Here MI is the total holdup inside the column, and MD and MB are the condenser and reboiler holdups. S = yD(1 xB) (1 yD)xB is the separation factor and Is = DyD(1 yD) + BxB(1 xB) is the \impurity sum". Note that Is may be extremely small for columns with both products of high purity (1 yD and xB both small) resulting in very large linearized values of 1. The response to changes in the internal ...
متن کاملOptimal distillation using thermodynamic geometry
The thermal efficiency of a distillation column may be improved by permitting heat exchange on every tray rather than only in the reboiler and the condenser. Thermodynamic length optimizations on discrete systems specify the optimal temperature of each tray and consequently the amount of heat to be added or withdrawn in order to maintain that temperature.
متن کاملNovel Distillation Concepts Using One-shell Columns
This presentation examines the procedures involved in implementing the divided-wall column technology for processing petrochemical cuts. Special simulation tools have been developed for the design of the overall column configuration and an evolutionary algorithm is used to find the optimum column design based on the total annual costs. Practical operation is verified on a laboratory scale with ...
