DESIGN OF COMPLEX COLUMNS USING COLUMN PROFILE MAPS

DESIGN OF COMPLEX COLUMNS USING COLUMN PROFILE MAPS 

Examples of such complex distillation structures are thus columns that have more than one feed point and/or more than two product streams, like distributed material addition/removal columns, and thermally coupled columns. Obviously, as the complexity of the distillation structure increases, so does the design itself thereof. This chapter will, as an introduction to complex column design, treat the design of elementary complex columns such as distributed feed and sidestream withdrawal columns, and side rectifiers, and strippers, before discussing more intricate complex columns like fully thermally coupled columns (sometimes referred to as the Petlyuk and Kaibel columns) in the subsequent chapter.
