Binary Distillation for Process & Chemical Engineering
Model Continuous Distillation Equipment in the Industry as well as Flash & Batch Separation Processes in Binary Systems
Description
Introduction:
Binary Distillation is one of the most important Mass Transfer Operations used extensively in the Chemical industry.
Understanding the concept behind Gas-Gas, Liquid-Liquid and the Gas-Liquid mass transfer interaction will allow you to understand and model Distillation Columns, Flashes, Batch Distillator, Tray Columns and Packed column, etc...
We will cover:
REVIEW: Of Mass Transfer Basics (Equilibrium VLE Diagrams, Volatility, Raoult's Law, Azeotropes, etc..)
Distillation Theory
Application of Distillation in the Industry
Counter-Current Operation
Several equipment to Carry Gas-Liquid Operations
Bubble, Spray, Packed and Tray Column equipment
Flash Distillation & Flash Drums Design
Design & Operation of Tray Columns
Number of Ideal Stages: McCabe Thiele Method & Ponchon Savarit Method
Recycle
Condenser types: partial, total
Pressure drop due to trays
Design & Operation of Packed Columns
Pressure drop due to trays
Efficiency of Stages & Murphree's Efficency
Batch Distillation, the Raleigh Equation
Software Simulation for Absorption/Stripping Operations (ASPEN PLUS/HYSYS)
Solved-Problem Approach:
All theory is backed with exercises, solved problems, and proposed problems for homework/individual study.
At the end of the course:
You will be able to understand mass transfer mechanism and processes behind Binary Distillation in Flash, Continuous & Batch Processes. You will be able to continue with a Multi-Component Distillation, Reactive Distillation and Azeotropic Distillation as well as more Mass Transfer Unit Operation Courses and/or Separation Processes Course.
About your instructor:
I majored in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Industrial Engineering back in 2012.
I worked as a Process Design/Operation Engineer in INEOS Koln, mostly on the petrochemical area relating to naphtha treating. There I designed and modeled several processes relating separation of isopentane/pentane mixtures, catalytic reactors and separation processes such as distillation columns, flash separation devices and transportation of tank-trucks of product.
