Elsevier Design and Simulation of Conventional and Complex Distillation Systems

Design and Simulation of Conventional and Complex Distillation Systems serves as a comprehensive guide to the design of conventional and complex distillation processes with a unique combination of conceptual design methods and validations via rigorous simulations, including visual descriptions and videos of simulation tasks. The book provides a comprehensive overview of both conventional and complex distillation systems, covering the fundamental principles, design methodologies, and simulation techniques required to effectively analyze and optimize. Users will find conceptual design methods for different types of distillation systems with validation steps that follow using rigorous simulations, as well as detailed explanations and illustrative examples. It will be an invaluable guide chemical engineering students, researchers, and professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of distillation processes and enhance their knowledge to design and simulate efficient and modern distillation systems. Offers practical, step-by-step design methods and calculations, making complex concepts accessible and applicable for students and professionals Applies basic concepts to distillation processes provide the basis for the development of design methods Includes detailed guidance on using Aspen Plus for simulations, thus bridging the gap between theoretical design and practical validation Contains real-world case studies, covering key topics such as the implementation of dividing-wall columns, selection of solvents for azeotropic distillation systems, implementation of sustainable distillation practices, and the optimization of reactive distillation columns for biodiesel production
