Dividing wall columns for heterogeneous azeotropic distillation
The aim of this work is to implement heterogeneous azeotropic distillation schemes in a dividing wall column (DWC) for a feed mixture of water (W), acetic acid (HAC) and an organic component (X). The original design makes use of X to act as an entrainer to facilitate the separation of water and HAC, and we also propose a DWC design based on this idea. This DWC design reduces the capital cost, b...
متن کاملOptimal Design Methodology for Dividing Wall Columns
The dividing wall column, DWC, is a thermally coupled sequence that can perform the separation of fluid mixtures with reduced energy consumption, but also decreasing the capital costs associated. Several authors have developed design procedures for this kind of sequence, using short methodologies or optimization strategies. The use of short procedures is easy and fast, but, in the most of the c...
متن کاملOptimal Designs of Multiple Dividing Wall Columns
Since the optimal design of dividing wall columns (DWC) is a highly nonlinear and multivariable problem, an appropriate solving tool is required. In this paper a multi-objective genetic algorithm with restrictions is considered to design columns with dividing walls. Also, a methodology is proposed for sizing the DWC. The proposed design methodology allows achieving appropriate designs for colum...
متن کاملThree-component Distillation Columns Sequencing: Including Configurations with Divided-wall Columns
In the present work, the exergy analysis and economic study of 3 different samples of threecomponent mixtures have been investigated (ESI>1, ESI≈1, and ESI<1). The feed mixture has been tested under three different compositions (low, equal, and high contents of the intermediate component). A quantitative comparison between simple and complex configurations, considering thermally coupled, thermo...
متن کاملNumerically Optimized Performance of Diabatic Distillation Columns
Recently, the concept of equal thermodynamic distance (ETD) has been proposed to minimize entropy production in a distillation process using a diabatic column. ETD gives the optimal temperature profile to first-order in N−1, where N is the number of trays. ETD however, does not in general give the true minimum for distillation columns with few trays. We therefore apply a fully numerical, multid...
