An introduction to distillation. Using a simple column system with a full reboiler and condenser this model can be used to develop an understanding of the basics of distillation. By allowing the user to change feed conditions as well as reboiler temperature and reflux rates this model can be used to demonstrate the full range of operation of a column. The model contains pressure and temperature profiles through the column allowing the different operating areas of a column to be demonstrated.
The model includes a comprehensive set of Assignments, a full Trend Chart package, a Fluid Properties analysis at key points in the process, and an alarms history with acknowledge facility.
The model may be used for whole class teaching, or for trainees to use individually.
The above screen shot shows with just one of the seven controller faceplates which can be selected.
