One of the alternative energy-saving methods in a
conventional distillation process is the use of side
(intermediate) reboiler and/or condenser for a portion
of the overall heat load. A nonlinear differential equations
model was developed to describe the dynamics of a
typical binary distillation process with and without
the side...
Heat integrated distillation has been studied using an experimental
column built for that purpose. Heat integration involves the
use of intermediate reboilers and condensers to increase the thermal
efficiency of distillation. The intermediate reboiler and condenser
systems used in this work were designed so that the experimental
column could be...
