Removal from water, schematic illustration

Example 1.3. Our third example illustrates a typical control scheme for an entire simple chemical plant. Figure 1.5 gives a simple schematic sketch of the process configuration and its control system. Two liquid feeds are pumped into a reactor in which they react to form products. The reaction is exothermic, and therefore heat must be removed from the reactor. This is accomplished by adding cooling water to a jacket surrounding the reactor. Reactor elHuent is pumped through a preheater into a distillation column that splits it into two product streams.
