Selection of stripping tower model
Thread Content
I am currently working on a stripping tower that uses low-pressure steam for stripping. Due to the low stripping pressure, steam is added directly to the tower, and there is no reboiler at the bottom of the stripping tower. In this way, my stripping tower has two streams entering it. Which model is good to choose for this stripping tower? I’m a beginner; if there’s anything wrong in what I say, I hope experts can give me some guidance.
I have a question: in the RADFRAC model, steam is added directly at the bottom – how should this be configured?
You can use radfrac directly; since steam is introduced directly into the bottom of the tower, select none for the condenser/reboiler. The appearance of the module is only for reference; what matters most is the settings inside the module.
radfrac can be used; since the bottom of the tower is directly stripped with steam, set the condenser/reboiler to none.
It is set here under the number of feed plates; the feed occurs on the lowest plate
However, it is still necessary to enter the heat load at the bottom of the tower. It seems that one has to choose between the condenser and the reboiler. This material of mine is added to the tower; I’m not sure how to express it best. Please give me some advice.
It’s not necessary to choose either a condenser or a reboiler; you can select none for both, and there’s no need to enter the heat load at the bottom of the tower
It really works, thank you. The stripping process I developed has converged, but how can I optimize it?

You can conduct sensitivity analysis or optimal design
