Dynamic Modelling and Optimal Control of a Multicomponent Batch Packed Distillation Column
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 a given time by using capacity factor approach using MATLAB software.

متن کاملState 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...
متن کاملCombining Conceptual and Detailed Methods for Batch Distillation Process Design
The separation of multicomponent mixtures by batch distillation generally requires the sequential processing of several splits in one column. The sequencing of the splits and the choice of the column configuration, e.g. regular or inverse column, has a substantial impact on the economic potential of the process. Beside these structural design decisions the profitability of the process is furthe...
