Distillation column design reflux considerations

An important part of the design of any distillation column is the choice of reflux ratio. There are a few qualitative considerations which must be kept in mind. [Pg.88]

Eollowing are two examples (16.1 and 16.2) of a distillation column that demonstrate the effect of applying different pairing strategies. In both examples the control loops for the column pressure and the liquid levels in the condenser accumulator and the column bottom are determined independently based on practical considerations. Thus, the column pressure is controlled by various techniques that may involve the condenser coolant rate, and the liquid levels are controlled by the product flow rates. What remains to be decided is how to pair the distillate and bottoms compositions with the reflux rate and the reboiler heat duty. The same distillation column is used in both examples, having a total condenser and a reboiler, one feed and two products. The column is designed to separate a benzene-toluene mixture into benzene and toluene products with specified purities. [Pg.565]
