Course Content

• Review the basic input for simulation simple distillation using a RadFrac block including Design Specs
• Learn how to size and rate trayed and packed columns
• Increase the complexity of the column configuration by adding thermosyphon reboilers, pumparounds and pseudostreams to your model
• Model reactive distillation by adding equilibrium, conversion, and kinetic reactions to your column
• Perform rigorous vapor-liquid-liquid calculations
• Use the free water option in the RadFrac
block
• Use Column Targeting to reduce the column heat load and increase energy efficiency
