Performance characteristics of a new structured packing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A new structured packing using carbon fibres, called Sepcarb® 4D, is presented. This packing has several attractive properties, such as high voidage (ε=94%) and high effective area (a=420 m2 m−3).

Troubleshooting Distillation Columns Unexpected Causes for Malfunctioning Columns

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
The cause of columns performing below expectation is often intuitively attributed to issues with column internals. But there are also other reasons. Two cases are presented, the first shows how to properly deal with trapped inert gases during startup and the second case shows how reversible reactions can affect separation performance and how apparent ...

DISTILLATE COMPOSITION CONTROL OF BINARY DISTILLATION COLUMN

open access: yesINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY, 2014
Distillation is a continuous process in the petroleum and the chemical industries. A high amount of energy used in the chemical and petrochemical industries is consumed in the distillation process, since large amount of heat transfer takes place between the trays of distillation column.
