Distillation Without Equations by Steven Licht

Distillation Without Equations A practical how-to guide to the operation, control, and design of industrial-scale distillation systems Based on real-world, hands-on experience, this guide is prepared to help anyone, of any age or educational background, master the Art of Distilling, with confidence, safety, and efficiency. This guidebook, designed to accompany a live seminar series presented by the author, now is available as a stand-alone resource, to help plant technical and non-technical personnel to understand how to operate a production distillation system. Subjects covered by this book include: Operating a Distillation System: . Taking over watch of an already running distillation system: What's going on inside? What am I supposed to do, or not do? . Problems that might come along: What to watch for, and what to do about it. Distillation Separation Process Synthesis: . VLE relationships in multi-component mixtures. . Equilibrium stage separation process synthesis: how to un-mix and purify to required quality. . Flow sheet modeling using computer simulators and lab tests. Controlling a Distillation System: . Discussion of possible levels of control complexity. . Merits of alternative control schemes. . Field instrument types and control hardware types. . Software development for PLC and DCS systems. Designing a Distillation System: . Define design basis information, accurately and firmly. . Develop P and ID with all piping and controls, and equipment specs. . Conduct operability, environmental, and safety reviews.
