Parastillation columns
The energy consumption of distillation columns can be reduced by dividing the vapor phase inside the column in different partitions. This technique is known as parastillation. In parastillation, the vapor flow is divided into at least two upward and parallel streams in the bottom of the column. These streams make…
Divided-Wall Columns (DWC)
Distillation columns is one of the most energy intensive equipment in chemical and petroleum industries. The separation of ternary mixtures usually is accomplished by the classical sequence of two distillation columns. Interestingly, according to Ling e Luyben (2009), the Divided-Wall Columns (DWC) can reduce the energy costs in up to…
