Design of Short-cut Distillation Column in Aspen HYSYS | Part-1 | Lecture # 17

Описание

Learn to simulate the short-cut distillation column and get initial estimates for rigorous distillation column design. This is our 1st simulation exercise based on the given values of % purity. The problem statement for today`s task is given below:

Problem Statement:

A feed mixture (liquid) consisting of 60 mol% methanol & 40 mol% water is fed to the distillation column at 5 bar, at a flowrate of 1000 kgmole/h. The % age purity of methanol required in the top product is 99% (liquid), and that of water in the bottom product is 99%. The pressure in the condenser is 4.8 bar, while in the reboiler is 5 bar. Estimate the initial design parameters.

In our next lecture, we will use % recovery values to design short-cut distillation column. Stay Tuned!!
