Operation of the distillation tower
Thread Content
Design values for the tower: 0.1% toluene at the top of the tower and 0.4% benzene at the bottom. Current analysis shows 0.1% at the top and 2.69% at the bottom. What should be done? Thanks. Can we increase its heat load?
It’s hard to say; you need to describe your operating conditions so that a judgment can be made
If the theoretical plate number of the tower is sufficient, it is possible to increase the operating temperature at the bottom of the tower.
