摘要
Energy saving distillation using a horizontal distillation column was experimentally examined, and the improvement of the technique has been investigated by utilizing a rectangular column. The rectangular column provides larger cross-sectional area for increased throughput and larger heat transfer area for diabatic operation. The proposed technique saves about 13.6% of energy demand compared with the vertical distillation column calculated from the HYSYS simulation. The result indicates that improved capacity of feed processing is possible with the rectangular column.
