Distillation Design is a book which provides complete coverage of the design of industrialdistillationcolumns for thepetroleum refining,chemical andpetrochemical plants,natural gas processing,pharmaceutical, food andalcohol distilling industries. It has been a classicalchemical engineering textbook since it was first published in February 1992.
The subjects covered in the book include:
- Vapor–liquid equilibrium(VLE):Vapor–liquid K values,relative volatilities, ideal and non-ideal systems, phase diagrams, calculatingbubble points anddew points
- Keyfractional distillation concepts:theoretical stages, x-y diagrams, multicomponent distillation, column composition and temperature profiles
- Process design andoptimization: minimumreflux and minimum stages, optimum reflux, short-cut methods, feed entry location
- Rigorous calculation methods: Bubble point method, sum rates method, numerical methods (Newton–Raphson technique), inside out method, relaxation method, other methods
- Batch distillation: Simple distillation, constant reflux, varying reflux, time and boilup requirements
- Tray design and tray efficiency: tray types, tray capacities, tray hydraulic parameters, tray sizing and determination of column diameter, point and tray efficiencies, tray efficiency prediction and scaleup
- Packing design and packing efficiency: packing types, packing hydraulics and capacities, determination of packing efficiency by transfer unit method and byHETP method,packed column sizing
