Distillation of a Complex Mixture. Part I: High Pressure Distillation Column Analysis: Modeling and Simulation

چکیده
In this analysis, based on the bubble point method, a physical model was established clarifying the interactions (mass and heat) between the species present in the streams in circulation in the column. In order to identify the externally controlled operating parameters, the degree of freedom of the column was determined by using Gibbs phase rule. The mathematical model converted to Fortran code and based on the principles of: 1) Global and local mass conservation balance, 2) Enthalpy balance, and 3) Vapour-liquid equilibrium at each tray, was used to simulate the behavior of the column, concentration distributions, temperature and streams for each phase along the column at high pressure in each tray. The energy consumption at the condenser and the boiler was also evaluated using the Starling equation of state.

Economic Optimization of the Reflux Ratio of Two Components Stage Distillation Columns
Distillation columns are complex processes for modeling and controlling. These columns are significant parts of most chemical industries for separation of components. Control of this process is essential for achieving certain purity for products with a minimum cost. However, nonlinearities, multivariable interaction, non-stationary behavior and severity of disturbances inside the column made th...
متن کاملDEVELOPING A NEW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR DISTILLATION COLUMN SIMULATION
The simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. In this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified Kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. The effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. The results show sig...

A quantitative comparison between simple and complex configurations, considering thermally coupled, thermo...
متن کاملSeparation of tetrahydrofuran and water using pressure swing distillation: Modeling and optimization
−Computer simulations were performed to obtain highly pure tetrahydrofuran (THF) with over 99.9 mole% from the mixture of THF and water. Pressure swing distillation (PSD) was used since the azeotropic point between tetrahydrofuran and water can be varied with pressure. A commercial process simulator, PRO/II with PROVISION release 8.3, was used for the simulation studies. The Wilson liquid activ...
متن کاملOptimization of Distillation Column Operation by Simulated Annealing
Abstract: In this paper, an exergy analysis approach is proposed for optimal design of distillation column by using simulated annealing algorithm. First, the simulation of a distillation column was performed by using the shortcut results and irreversibility in each tray was obtained. The area beneath the exergy loss profile was used as Irreversibility Index in the whole column. Then, First Opti...
