COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Distillation Technology. It covers the thermodynamic principles, distillation equipment and mass transfer in distillation; the material and energy balances, column hydraulics, flow regimes and column design methodology; the reboiler and condenser design, tray column design, packed column design and control of conventional columns; the effects of feed flowrate and composition, reflux variation impacts, column pressure and temperature influence; the startup and stabilization techniques and energy integration in distillation; and the multi-effect and thermally coupled columns, dividing wall columns (DWC) and azeotropic and extractive distillation. 

 During this interactive course, participants will learn the reactive distillation, hybrid distillation systems, advanced process control in distillation and dynamic behavior of distillation columns; the troubleshooting techniques, fouling and corrosion management, optimization strategies and Aspen HYSYS simulation tools; the column revamp and debottlenecking, retrofit design strategies and process safety in distillation systems; the intensified distillation systems, hybrid separation technologies, AI and digital twin applications; and the future industry trends and sustainability
