Distillation has historically been the main method
for separating mixtures in the chemical process
industry. However, despite the flexibility and
widespread use of distillation processes, they still
remain extremely energy inefficient. Increased
optimization and novel distillation concepts can deliver
substantial benefits, not just in terms of significantly
lower energy use, but also in reducing capital
investment and improving eco–efficiency. While likely to
remain the separation technology of choice for the next
few decades, there is no doubt that distillation
technologies need to make radical changes in order to
meet the demands of the energy–conscious society.
Advanced Distillation Technologies: Design, Control and
Applications gives a deep and broad insight into
integrated separations using non–conventional
arrangements, including both current and upcoming
process intensification technologies. It includes: Key
concepts in distillation technology Principles of
design, control, sizing and economics of distillation
Dividing–wall column (DWC) – design, configurations,
optimal operation and energy efficient and advanced
control DWC applications in ternary separations,
azeotropic, extractive and reactive distillation Heat
integrated distillation column (HIDiC) – design,
equipment and configurations Heat–pump assisted
applications (MVR, TVR, AHP, CHRP, TAHP and others)
Cyclic distillation technology – concepts, modeling
approach, design and control issues Reactive
distillation – fundamentals, equipment, applications,
feasibility scheme Results of rigorous simulations in
Mathworks Matlab & Simulink, Aspen Plus, Dynamics
and Custom Modeler Containing abundant examples and
industrial case studies, this is a unique resource that
tackles the most advanced distillation technologies –
all the way from the conceptual design to practical
implementation. The author of Advanced Distillation
Technologies , Dr. Ir. Anton A. Kiss, has been awarded
the Hoogewerff Jongerenprijs 2013 . Find out more
