A new approach to the design of internally heat-integrated tray distillation columns

چکیده
Internally heat integrated distillation column has received a great attention lately because of its ultimate potential for energy savings. Typical conceptual design of such columns is based on constant heat transfer duties along the column stages. This paper introduces more effective approach to conceptual design of heat integrated distillation columns based on constant available heat transfer areas. This design scenario implies changing stage heat transfer duties. The procedure has been implemented into a commercial simulation package in such a way that it allows simultaneous problem solutions.

An internally heat integrated distillation column, HIDiC, offers the maximum energy saving potential for difficult and energy intensive separations, such as propylenepropane and the like, which are carried out in tray columns. A novel type of HIDiC was developed by TUDelft, namely a concentric distillation column in which a low pressure annular stripping section is configured around a high pres...

Based on two integration steps, an optimization framework is proposed in this work for the synthesis and design of complex distillation sequence. The first step is to employ heat integration in sequence and reduce the heat consumption and total annual cost of the process. The second one is to increase the exergetic efficiency of sequence by generating power in implemented expanders in sequence....
