Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Myke King addresses some remaining challenges in the control of distillation columns, starting by showing how important ‘cut’ and ‘fractionation’ are to meeting composition targets In this example we ...

This project focuses on the performance analysis of a simulated distillation column using MATLAB. A sensor dataset containing 961 time steps and 19 process variables was analyzed to understand the ...

A distillation tray is used to mix vapors and liquids together. The better the mixing, the more efficiently the tray works. Tray efficiency also depends on two other factors: how well the droplets of ...

BATON ROUGE, LA — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The LSU Cain Department of Chemical Engineering recently completed a journey of several years with the installation of its new distillation columns. The towering ...
