Exploration of the Design of Distillation Columns -- Beyond Reflux and Tray Count

Gómez Siurana, Amparo; Font-Escamilla, Alicia

Chemical Engineering Education, v55 n2 p104-118 Spr 2021

In this work, different alternatives for locating the optimal feed stage in a distillation column as well as the effect of the feed temperature are studied, by solving a classroom problem. The results obtained permit us to select the best way to optimize the feed stage location as well as to detect what thermal feed phase conditions should be avoided.
