DEVELOPING A NEW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR DISTILLATION COLUMN SIMULATION
The simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. In this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified Kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. The effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. The results show sig...
متن کاملSimulation Of Reactive Distillation Column
Reactive distillation processes couple chemical reactions and physical separations into a single unit operation. The ethyl acetate production by esterification reaction is equilibrium limited and is suitable to be carried out in a distillation column. In the present work, a reactive distillation column for the production of ethyl acetate is simulated using Aspen Plus. The component compositions...
متن کاملEfficient Approximate Method for Packed Column Separation Performance Simulation
Packed distillation and absorption columns are often modeled using equilibrium stages. However, determination of the packing height that corresponds to an equilibrium stage is not easy. For binary systems HETP values can be used, but these are not applicable to multicomponent systems because mass transfer rates of different components deviate from each other. Rate-based non-equilibrium models c...
متن کاملEsterification of Acetic Acid with Butanol: Operation in a Packed Bed Reactive Distillation Column
The esterification reaction between acetic acid and butanol was investigated in a reactive distillation column. The thermodynamic aspects of considered system are discussed, equilibrium constant, vapor pressures and UNIQUAC interaction parameters were investigated. Reactive distillation experiments were carried out to provide high purity butyl acetate. For this purpose, a 2 m column with nonrea...
متن کاملHigh Purity Distillation Column: Simulation and Optimization
Distillation columns with a high-purity product (down to 7 ppm) have been studied. A steady state model is developed using a commercial process simulator. The model is validated against industrial data. Based on the model, three major optimal operational changes are identified. These are, lowering the location of the feed & side draw streams, increasing the pressure at the top of the distillati...
