Optimization of Distillation Processes

چکیده
In this work we present an overview of the main advances in column sequence optimization in zeotropic systems, ranging from systems using only conventional columns, each with a condenser and a reboiler, to fully thermally coupled systems with a single reboiler and a single condenser in the entire sequence. We also review the rigorous design of distillation columns, or column sequences. In all the cases we focus on mathematical programming approaches.

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 کاملSystematic Optimization-based Synthesis of Hybrid Separation Processes
Hybrid separation processes can offer significant cost-savings over simple distillation processes for close-boiling mixtures. In addition, the separation boundaries of azeotropic mixtures can be overcome. The application of hybrid processes in industry, however, is hindered by the lack of robust and efficient process synthesis tools and methods for these complex and highly integrated processes....

In this study, the influence of the salts as an additive on the performance of the membrane was investigated and an extensive work was performed to optimize PVDF hollow fiber membranes through a response surface methodology (RSM). The prepared membranes were characterized by SEM, contact angle and LEP measurement. Then, the RSM was used for the optimization of surface pore size, porosity and hy...
متن کاملMulticomponent Distillation Configurations with Large Energy Savings
In industry, many separation processes involve the separation of multicomponent mixtures using distillation. There are many distillation configurations that can carry out the same overall separation process. These configurations use an equal number of distillation columns, but they differ significantly in energy consumption. Therefore a major challenge for a practitioner is the identification o...
متن کاملSimulated Annealing For The Optimization Of Chemical Batch Production Processes1
Batch distillation processes are widely used in chemical industry. In this work, we consider the optimization of such processes by simulated annealing. Although this method is stochastically in nature, it has two evitable advantages: it can be readily connected to highly sophisticated simulation codes and it converges towards a global optimum. According to the characteristics of batch distillat...
