Description
Introduction: Binary Distillation is one of the most important Mass Transfer Operations used extensively in the Chemical industry. Understanding the concept behind Gas-Gas, Liquid-Liquid and the Gas-Liquid mass transfer interaction will allow you to understand and model Distillation Columns, Flashes, Batch Distillator, Tray Columns and Packed column, etc... We will cover: REVIEW: Of Mass Transfer Basics (Equilibrium VLE Diagrams, Volatility, Raoult's Law, Azeotropes, etc..)Distillation TheoryApplication of Distillation in the IndustryCounter-Current Operation Several equipment to Carry Gas-Liquid OperationsBubble, Spray, Packed and Tray Column equipmentFlash Distillation & Flash Drums DesignDesign & Operation of Tray ColumnsNumber of Ideal Stages: McCabe Thiele Method & Ponchon Savarit MethodRecycleCondenser types: partial, totalPressure drop due to traysDesign & Operation of Packed Columns Pressure drop due to traysEfficiency of Stages & Murphree's EfficencyBatch Distillation, the Raleigh EquationSoftware Simulation for Absorption/Stripping Operations (ASPEN PLUS/HYSYS)Solved-Problem Approach: All theory is backed with exercises, solved problems, and proposed problems for homework/individual study. At the end of the course: You will be able to understand mass transfer mechanism and processes behind Binary Distillation in Flash, Continuous & Batch Processes. You will be able to continue with a Multi-Component Distillation, Reactive Distillation and Azeotropic Distillation as well as more Mass Transfer Unit Operation Courses and/or Separation Processes Course. About your instructor: I majored in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Industrial Engineering back in 2012. I worked as a Process Design/Operation Engineer in INEOS Koln, mostly on the petrochemical area relating to naphtha treating. There I designed and modeled several processes relating separation of isopentane/pentane mixtures, catalytic reactors and separation processes such as distillation columns, flash separation devices and transportation of tank-trucks of product.
