Conceptual Design and
Simulation of Complex Distillation Systems
One
of the most important tasks in chemical industry is the separation of
multicomponent liquid mixture into one or more high-purity products. Several technologies are feasible for this
task either alone or in combination. Among these, distillation by far is the
most widespread and has a long history in Chemical Technology. However, until recently, there has been no
systematic approach for understanding complex mixtures where azeotropes,
multiple liquid phases or simultaneous reaction may occur. This course, through series of lectures and
tutorials, will describe such an approach including the basic data and models
for understanding separation systems based on distillation. Many ideas, which are based on geometric
analysis of non-linear systems are new and not covered in the standard text
books on distillation. The approach is suitable for simple as well as complex
mixtures and can replace attempts being made to understand azeotropic,
extractive and reactive systems as separate and mysterious topics. The ideas
developed for distillation systems can be extended to other technologies such
as extraction and absorption.
The
conceptual design methods are complementary to more detailed simulation methods
developed in the last two decades. Conceptual design helps generate and compare
process alternatives from which a promising subset is selected for more
detailed study. The detailed study may be performed using various commercial
simulators available today. Simulation studies are computationally more
rigorous and it is advisable to seek help of commercial simulators rather than
developing our own softwares. This course will help undertand the importance
and potential of such simulators in the design and synthesis process.
