Seeking expert advice: How to determine the inlet location of a distillation tower
Thread Content
Where is the most suitable location for the inlet to the different sections of a distillation tower? (Float valve distillation tower, with flat trays; the product is industrial naphthalene.) Urgent reply needed
The entrance location is calculated by process engineers. The location of the feed inlet is generally determined based on the concentration of the feed and the concentrations on each tray within the tower; the closer these values are to each other, the lower the operating costs.
Agree with the first floor commenter; you can also do simple calculations by yourself. It is best for the molar concentration to be as close as possible.
Search for calculations related to distillation column processes; Baidu Wenku has a wide range of formulas available.
It should be calculable; ask a professional
