A New Approach in the Conceptual Design of Reactive Distillation Processes  

It is worth mentioning here that the present contribution focuses on the definition of the RD process structure, paying less explicit attention to a detailed analysis of the actual dynamics of the unit, which might be described using non-equilibrium models. An extended review on this last topic can be found in the publications of Taylor and Krishna (2000) Krishnamurthy and Taylor (1985) Taylor and Krishna (1993, 2003). Furthermore, the temporal features of the process unit(s) e.g. operability and availability) are not fully considered in the proposed methodology, as availability is foreseen to be taken into account at the next level of engineering detail. 

Recalling the engineering and scientific design questions given in chapter 1, in this chapter we address question 5, namely, 

Within the design program, the following design tasks are defined.
