In t roduct ion:
Distillation is a method of separating mixture of two or
more miscible liquids into their pure components
Separation of components from a liquid mixture through
distillation depends on the difference in boiling points of
individual components, also depending on concentrationof components present,
There for distillation process depends on vapor pressure
characterizes of liquid mixture.

TYPES OF DISTILLATION COLUMNS: Based on operation
1) Batch and.
2) Cont inuous columns.Batch Columns:
In batch operation, the feed to the column is introducedbatch-wise. that is, the column is charged with a 'batch'and then the distillation process is carried out. When the
desired task is achieved, a next batch of feed isintroduced .
Continuous co lumns:
In contrast, continuous columns process a continuous
feed stream. No interruptions occur unless there is a problem with the column or surrounding process units.They are capable of handling high throughputs and arethe most common of the two types. We shall concentrateonly on this class of columns.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
9/95
Types of cont inuous column:
Continuous columns can be further classified according
to:1) The nature of the feed that they are processing:
Binary column - feed contains only two components.
Multi-component column - feed contains more than two
components.
2)The number of product streams they have:
Multi-product column - column has more than two
product streams
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
10/95
Types of cont inuous co lumn:
Where the extra feed exits when it is used to help
with the separation:
Extractive distillation - Where the extra feed
appears in the bottom product stream.
Azeotropic distillation - Where the extra feed
appears at the top product stream.

Types of cont inuous co lumn:
The type of column internals:
Tray co lumn - where trays of various designs are
used to hold up the liquid to provide better contact
between vapour and liquid, hence better separation.
Packed column - where instead of trays ‘Packings'
are used to enhance contact between vapour and
liquid

Main componets of d is t il lat ion colum n:
Vert ical shell : where the separation of liquid
components is carried out.Column: Column internals such as trays/plates which
are used to enhance components separation.
Reboiler: Reboiler is a special type of heatexchanger used to provide heat necessary for
distillation.
Condenser: The overhead vapor leaving the column
is sent to a cooler or condensers and is collected in
a Accumulator.
Ref lux: A reflux drum to hold the condensed vapor so
that the liquid reflux can be recycled.

Basic operation :
Heat is supplied to the reboiler to generate vapour. The
source of heat input can be any suitable fluid, although inmost chemical plants this is normally steam. In refineries, the
heating source may be the output streams of other
columns. The vapour raised in the reboiler is re-introduced
into the unit at the bottom of the column. The liquid removed
from the reboiler is known as the bottoms product orsimply, bottoms.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
18/95
Basic operation :
The vapour moves up the column, and as it exits the top of
the unit, it is cooled by a condenser. The condensed liquid isstored in a holding vessel known as the reflux drum. Some
of this liquid is recycled back to the top of the column and this
is called the reflux. The condensed liquid that is removed
from the system is known as the distillate or top product.

Types of cont inuous column:
Thus, there are internal flows of vapour and liquid within the
column as well as external flows of feeds and productstreams, into and out of the column.

Dist i l lat ion con trols:
Why Distillation control ?
1) Product composition should be constant.
2) To increase throughput.
3) Enhancing the column stability.
4) Safety of men and machineries.The 3 main objectives of column control can be stated as:
1) To set stable conditions for column operation.
2) To regulate conditions in the column so that the
product(s) always meet the required specifications.3) To achieve the above objective most efficiently,
e.g. by maximizing product yield, minimising energy
consumption, etc.

Compos i t ion Measurement:
The direct measurement of composi t ion is mo re
expensive, bu t also m ore accurate and versat i le than isind irect temperature measu rement. Interm ittent
analyzers, such as chromatog raphs (wi th cycle t imes of
a few m inu tes), are often p rov ided w ith dead time
com pensat ion for c losed-loop con tro l . The analyzerupdate time must always be less than the response t ime
of the process. For improv ed accu racy, one usual ly
measures the impur i ty concentrat ion in the contro l led
stream . This way the upsets caused by feed composi t ion
changes, tower pressure or eff ic iency variat ions can be
more accurately corrected.

Inferent ial control : Temperature measu remen t
If the feed composition and column pressure are
constant, temperature can be used as indirect measureof composition.
When the bot tom produc t composi t ion is contro l led, the
temperature sensor is located in the lower half of the
column, and when overhead compos i t ion is con tro l led,in the upper hal f.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
32/95
Inferent ial control : Temperature measu remen t
The temperature sensor should be located on a tray that
strongly reflects changes in composition. This means
a 1% change in the manipulated variable (reflux or steam
flows in Figure 5, p. 10) should result in a temperature
change of at least 0.1 ºC to 0.5 °C, and that this change should
be symmetrical, meaning that a 1% drop or rise in
these flows should result in approximately the same size ofdrop or rise in the temperature on the control tray.
• When two compounds of relatively close vapor pressures are
to be separated (for example normal butane from isobutene),temperature measurement is not sensitive enough to measure
composition. In such cases, two temperatures or a
temperature difference (say, between Trays 5 and 15) can be
used instead of a single sensor. This configuration can also
be used to eliminate the effects of column pressure variations

Column pressure contro l :
In contro l l ing the pressure of a co lumn, the key
pieces o f equ ipment are the condenser and theaccumulator.
First the overhead vapors enter the condenser
(part ial or to tal).
If the condensat ion is incomplete, the condenser is
cal led a “partial” condenser , and the overhead prod uct is
wi thdrawn in both vapor and l iqu id phases.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
36/95
Column pressure contro l :
Total condensers are usual ly designed for accum ulator
pressures up to 215 ps ia (1.48 MPa) at an operatingtemperature of 120 ˚F (49 ˚C).
A part ial condenser is usual ly used between 215 ps ia and
365 ps ia (1.48 to 2.52 MPa), and refr igerant coo lant, suchas propane, is used if the operat ing pressure is g reater
than 365 psia (2.52 MPa). The condenser p ressure drop
is u sually about 5 ps ia (34.4 KPa).
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
37/95
Column pressure contro l :
Most distillation columns are operated under
constant pressure, because at constant pressure,temperature measurement is an indirect indication of
composition,
but f loating the operating pressu re can have
advantages in many app l icat ions . When thecolumn pressure is allowed to float, the composition
must be measured by analyzers or by pressure
compensated thermometers.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
38/95
Column pressure contro l :
• The primary advantage of floating-pressure
control is that one can operate at minimumpressure, and this reduces the required heat input
needed at the reboiler.
• Other advantages of operating at lower
temperatures include increased reboiler capacityand reduced reboiler fouling.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
39/95
Column pressure contro l :
• In the following paragraphs, floating and constant
pressure control strategies will be described foroperations when
1) Liquid distillate is withdrawn in the presence
of non condensables.
2) Vapor distillate is withdrawn in the presence
of non condensables .
3) Liquid distillate is withdrawn when the amount of
non condensables is negligible.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI

Coo l ing Water Con tro l , Negl ig ible Inerts:
In distillation processes where the distillate is in the
liquid phase and the quantity of inerts is negligible,the column pressure is usually controlled by
modulating the rate of condensation in the
condenser.
• In the control system shown for Column A in Figure10 (p. 18), the column pressure is controlled by
throt t ling the coo l ing water f low through the
condenser. This control scheme is recommended
only when the cooling water is treated, because
condenser tube fouling due to high temperature rise
across the tubes can occur.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
41/95
Coo l ing Water Con tro l , Neg l igib le Inerts :
• The advantage of this configuration is simplicity and low
maintenance cost, because the control valve is on the• water side and gives acceptable control performance,
provided the condenser is the bundle type, and the
cooling water is flowing through the tubes at a rate over
4.5 feet per second (1.35 m/s), or the water hasresidence time of less than 45 seconds.
• With such short residence time, the pressure controller
requires only a narrow proportional mode.
• As the residence time increases, the controller willrequire wider and wider throttling ranges and will also
need the addition of an integral mode to compensate for
the load changes.

8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
43/95
Liquid Dist i l late w ith Inerts:
The problem of pressure control can be complicated
by the presence of large quantities of inert gases,which must be removed, because otherwise they will
blanket the condensing surface and cause the
loss of p ressu re con tro l .
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
44/95
Dist i l late w ith Inerts:
When the amount of inerts is variable, the purge
stream has to be modulated. In the control systemshown for Column B in Figure 10, as the inerts build
up in the condenser , the pressu re con trol ler will
first open up the con tro l valve (PCV-1), which
lowers the flooding level in the condenser and, byincreasing the heat transfer surface area, also
increases the rate of condensation.
When PCV-1 is nearly fully open (say 95%), thevalve position controller (VPC-2) is activated. Its set
point is 95%, so when PCV-1 has opened to 95%, it
starts purging the inerts by opening control valve
(VPCV-2).

Vapou r dis t i l late w ith inerts:
The control system shown for Column C in Figure 10
is used when the distillate is in the vapor phase andinerts are present. As the overhead product is
removed under pressure control, the system
pressure will quickly respond to changes in the
distillate vapor flow .

Vapou r dis t i l late w ith inerts:
• Here, the level of the overhead receiver regulates
the condensate generated by throttling the coolingwater supply.This way it will condense only enough
material to provide the column with reflux.
This control system will give acceptable performance
only if the condenser residence time on the
coolant side is short.
8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
49/95
Vapou r dis t i l late w ith inerts:
If this is not the case, the cooling water flow should
be held constant, and the control system shown forColumn D in Figure 10 should be used. In this case,
some liquid condensate is sent to a small vaporizer,
which flow is regulated by the accumulator level,
and the resulting vapors are mixed with the vaporsfrom the pressure-control valve.

Int roduct ion
• Evaporation is one of the oldest unit operation.
• It is the process of concentrating aqueous solution in aclosed vessel or group of vessel in which concentrated
solution is the desired product and indirect
heating(usually steam) is the energy source.
• Evaporation is an energy intensive process
• Its efficiency can be improved by increasing the number
of evaporator in series and some of the energy can be
recovered by vapor recompression
• The product concentration can be measured by a variety
of analysers,including density, conductivity

8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI

Horizon tal tube evapo rator :
• Due to the impinging effect when flowing from one tube to the
other the heat transfer is higher compared to vertical falling
film evaporators.
• In addition this unit type can be operated with even lower
pressure drops compared to the vertical design.
•
It is also possible to design a higher heat transfer area for agiven shell compared to the vertical units. Perforated plates
or specially designed spray nozzles can be used in order to
guarantee a even liquid distribution for each tube.
• Cleaning of the outside tubes can be difficult, therefore this
type of evaporators is not used for processes with tendency
to foul.
• Tube dimensions are typically 0.75 to 1''.

Fal l ing f i lm vert ical evapo rator:
In falling film evaporators the
liquid feed usually enters theevaporator at the head of the
evaporator.
In the head, the feed is evenlydistributed into the heating
tubes.
A thin film enters the heatingtube and it flows downwards
at boiling temperature and is
partially evaporated.

8/17/2019 unit no_4 _5_PI
70/95
Fal l ing f i lm vert ical evapo rator:
The liquid and the vapor both flow downwards in a parallel flow.
This gravity-induced downward movement is increasingly augmented by theco-current vapor flow.
The separation of the concentrated product from its vapor takes place in the
lower part of the heat exchanger and the separator.
In most cases steam is used for heating.
Falling film evaporators can be operated with very low temperature
differences between the heating media and the boiling liquid.
They also have very short product contact times, typically just a few seconds
per pass.These characteristics make the falling film evaporator particularly suitable
for heat-sensitive products, and it is today the most frequently used type of
evaporator.

Crystal l izat ion:
is a uni t operation that involves the separat ion ofa solute f rom i ts so lut ion in the form of crysta ls .
Crystall ization usual ly invo lves : Concentration ofsolution and cooling of solution until the solute
concentration becomes greater than its solubility at
that temp then the solute comes out of the solution
in the form of pure crystals
