    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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''.

    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.

    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
