The reflux rate is high, which ensures stable product quality; however, an excessively high reflux ratio leads to reduced product yield, and the waste liquid at the bottom of the tower tends to carry away materials – a phenomenon commonly referred to as material loss. A high reflux ratio also means higher steam consumption. A suitable reflux ratio is sufficient; we generally use a value of 4–6. Full reflux operation is employed when the product concentration is low or during the initial startup phase.
