Rate-Based Modelling of Plate-Packed Heat Integrated Distillation Columns

TechnipFMC is pushing innovations to reduce the emissions of ethylene plants separations. This development is also driven by customer demands. They face increasingly strict legislation on \ce{CO2} emissions. Separation in distillation columns is one of the major energy intensive unit operations in an ethylene plant, and increasing their...

Internal Heat Exchange in a Concentric Tray Heat Integrated Distillation Column (CT-HIDiC)

The HIDiC is a concept of distillation to increase the energy efficiency. The HIDiC combines the advantages of the heat pump assisted column with the diabatic column. The rectification section and stripping section are separated and the rectification section is placed inside the stripping section. By compressing the flow from the stripping...
