Description
Description
Distillation: Design, Optimization, and Control of Distillation Processes, Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of modern methods for the systematic development of efficient, intensified, and operable distillation processes, emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency and sustainability. It is tailored for chemical engineers, process designers, researchers, and students in chemical engineering and related fields. The chapters address the modeling and optimization of individual columns and separation sequences, as well as the conceptual design of batch, zeotropic, azeotropic, and extractive distillation processes. Further sections examine dividing wall columns, systematic entrainer selection, hybrid separation processes, and reactive distillation. The volume concludes with practical guidance on the control and operation of conventional and intensified distillation systems. Throughout, particular emphasis is placed on technical feasibility, energy efficiency and economical viability.
This edition builds on the success of its PROSE award-winning predecessor, integrating new developments and research. Whether you are involved in energy efficiency, sustainability, or advanced process design, this book serves as a vital reference, empowering you to enhance your expertise and drive innovation in distillation technology.
