Distillation Operation
There are many books that discuss distillation, but there is only one that concentrates on giving readers practical guidelines for operation, troubleshooting and control. This is that book. Its contents revolves around over 300 actual case histories of distillation problems that occurred in the past. Each problem and its solution are briefly described, and the lessons learned are molded into the practical guidelines that make up the book. Carefully focused, the book shows you how over 90% of all column malfunctions occurred in the past, how they were solved, and how to prevent them in the future. Starting with column internals and their malfunctions, it progresses to installation, commissioning, startup and normal operation before surveying the auxiliary system and the column automatic controls--how they should be, how they can go wrong, and how you can repair them. This book offers the best available compendium of Do's and Don'ts, good practices, and guidelines for trouble-free design, operation and troubleshooting for inlets and outlets; distributors; avoiding tray damage; installation; commissioning and startup techniques; column flood and efficiency testing; pressure, temperature and boilup control; and many more.
Distillation design
Providing coverage of design principles for distillation processes, this text contains a presentation of process and equipment design procedures. It also highlights limitations of some design methods, and offers guidance on how to overcome them.
Distillation Troubleshooting
Short description
The last half-century of research on distillation has tremendously improved our understanding and our designs. This book collects the invaluable experiences accumulated over the years, and presents them in a manner readily accessible and usable by those who are engaged in solving today's problems and avoiding tomorrow's. It consolidates the collective experience learned from 900 case histories of distillation tower malfunctions.
