It is detrimental because tray efficiency is reduced: lower volatile material is carried to a plate holding liquid of higher volatility. It could also contaminate high purity distillate. Excessive entrainment can lead to flooding. Weeping/Dumping This phenomenon is caused by low vapour flow.

Generally speaking, if the feed enters in higher tray the light components concentrations in overhead will be increased and in bottom outlet 

Internal Heat Integration and Controllability of Double Feed Reactive Distillation Columns, 1. Effect of Feed Tray Location.

Animal feed Organic compounds Energy Alkyls Abstract The impact of altering feed tray locations (for the purpose of saving energy) on the controllability of double feed reactive distillation (RD) columns is evaluated for two case studies: a hypothetical ideal RD column and a methyl acetate RD column.

Adjusting the feed tray locations may result in significant energy savings for double feed reactive distillation columns. In the literature, composition-based control structures have been suggested for the internally heat integrated designs of ideal reactive distillation columns. This paper explores the effect of feed tray location on the controllability of ideal reactive distillation columns

1) Feed conditions; 2) State of Trays; 3) Vapor Flow Conditions; 4) Vapor velocity. 2.4.1. State of Trays. For most distillation columns, the weir holds a liquid level in each tray. The vapor must overcome this liquid head to move up the column. On the tray, the vapor and liquid are in contact and mass transfer by diffusion occurs . The actual

It also affects the location of feed tray. During operation, if the deviations from design specifications are excessive, then the column may no longer be able 

01/11/1993 · The MINLP minimizes the total annual cost subject to a rigorous tray-by-tray model. The solution of this MINLP yields the optimal number of trays, the optimal feed rates, and the optimal feed tray locations. The liquid holdup per tray, the reflux ratio, and the temperature and composition profiles within the column are optimized as well.

27/09/  · Distillation Feed Tray Location - posted in Student: Hi, I calculated the no. of trays and location of feed tray using fenske equation for an existing distillation column. According

This paper first examines how feed tray location affects the inherent controllability of a binary distillation column. It is shown that controllability can 

What are the effects of feed tray location in Distillation column ? - We know that we can find feed tray location by McCabe Thiele Method but this method is use only for binary component. So, for

lecture only this part that is batch distillation without reflux and which to find out with a proper procedure what would be the feed tray location to 

Adjusting the feed tray locations may result in significant energy savings for double feed reactive distillation columns. In the literature, composition-based control structures have been suggested for the internally heat integrated designs of ideal reactive distillation columns. This paper explores the effect of feed tray location on the controllability of ideal reactive distillation

Improper feed location of a distillation column can also increase the reflux/boil-up ratio and energy consumption. An ideal feed location is a section of 

The optimum feed tray location is tray 3 from top (N=3 and M=14 including reboiler). When the Fed to a distillation to a column is a saturated liquid slope of the feed line is? For a saturated

01/09/2005 · First we fix the N F, A at the bottom of the reactive zone and change the feed location of the B component from top to bottom. At constant volatilities systems, the feed

For all systems studied, the percentage of energy saving ranges from 6% to 47%, and this is obtained by simply rearranging the feed locations.

2) As already stated the tray efficiency is not 100%. In an actual column, if it has been optimized, the feed location will be at a location where the ffed compostion is equal to the tray composition.. The tray efficiency has no reason to be constant all over the column. It varies with physical propoertise, liquid and vapor rates..

Moreover, the feed temperature and feed tray location of the HP column were presented, reflecting a major effect on the DMC process plant. 3.1.
