Help request: In the Aspen Radfrac module, full reflux of the ester phase in the decanter
Thread Content
Question: In the radfrac module, how should the overhead decanter be set up so that the ester phase is completely recycled while the aqueous phase is completely recovered? ? ? It does not use an external circulation of stripper + heat exchanger + decanter.
Isn’t it sufficient to install a separate condenser, a phase separator, and use the oil phase entering the top of the tower as reflux (which also serves as feed), while extracting the water phase?
