Distillation Theory and Its Application to Optimal Design
of Separation Units
Distillation Theory and Its Application to Optimal Design of Separation Units
presents a clear, multidimensional, geometric representation of distillation theory
that is valid for all types of distillation columns for all splits, column types, and
mixtures. This representation answers such fundamental questions as:
r
What are the feasible separation products for a given mixture?
r
What minimum power is required to separate a given mixture?
r
What minimum number of trays is necessary to separate a given mixture at
a fixed-power input?
Methods of the general geometric theory of distillation, encoded in software,
provide quick and reliable solutions to problems of flowsheet synthesis and to
optimal design calculations. DistillDesigner software allows refinement and con-
firmation of the algorithms of optimal design. A sample of this software is available
at .
This book is intended for students and specialists in the design and operation
of separation units in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, wood, petrochemical,
oil-refining, and natural gas industries, and for software designers.
Felix B. Petlyuk, ., ., has worked in the petrochemical engineering and oil-
refining industries for more than 40 years. He currently works for the engineering
firm ECT Service in Moscow.
