CMO assumption
When CMO is true?
(1) sensible heat effects are small
(2) molar latent heats of vaporization are equal
(3) heat of mixing is negligible
(4) there are no heat losses or gains.

We need vapor and liquid to
feed the bottom and top of
the cascade.
The feed to the process is
introduced at an intermediate
stage.

Liquid is prevented from weeping through the holes
in the plate by the upflowing vapor. In this way the
vapor and liquid are contacted.
The liquid from the first tray flows over a weir and
down a downcomer, to the next stage and so on.

Sieve trays
Valve trays
Bubble-cap trays
In practice, the column will need more trays than the
number of equilibrium stages as mass transfer limitations
prevent equilibrium being achieved on a tray.

packed columns:
Here the column is filled with a solid material which has a high
voidage (random packing material such as Pall rings, Ceramic
Intalox saddles... or structured packing such as Glitsch grid) .
Liquid trickles across the surfaces of the packing and vapor
flows upward through the voids in the packing, contacting the
liquid on its way up the column.

design of a distillation column involves:
1. Set the product specifications.
2. Set the operating pressure.
3. Determine the number of theoretical stages required and the energyrequirements.
4. Determine the actual number of trays or height of packing needed and thecolumn diameter.
5. Design the column internals, which involves determining the specificdimensions of the trays, packing, liquid and vapor distribution systems, etc.
6. Carry out the mechanical design to determine wall thicknesses, internalfittings, etc.

The construction is started by plotting the operating lines for the
rectifying and stripping sections. The q-line intersects the
operating lines at their intersection.

The intersection of the operating lines is the correct feed
stage, i.e. the feed stage necessary to minimize the overall
number of theoretical stages.
The construction steps off between the operating lines and
the equilibrium lines.
The construction can be started either from the overhead
composition working down or from the bottom composition
working up.

Choice of Operating Parameters
The operating parameters to be selected by the designer include:
1. operating pressure
2. reflux ratio
3. feed condition
4. feed stage location
5. type of condenser

operating pressure
Pressure has an important effect on all aspects of the
distillation column design.

As pressure increases, the relative volatility decreases,
making separation more difficult.
Minimum reflux ratio also increases with increasing
pressure, as does the minimum number of stages.
All of these trends point to operating the distillation
columns at a pressure as low as possible.

Latent heat decreases with increasing pressure; this would have
the effect of decreasing the reboiler duty as pressure increases.
Finally, both the condenser and the reboiler temperature
increase as pressure increases.

Feed Condition
The feed condition affects vapor and liquid flow rates in the
column, and in turn:
1. reflux ratio, heating and cooling duties
2. column diameter
3. most appropriate location of the feed stage
Heating or cooling the feed can reduce energy cost
by reduction of utility consumption.31Binous - Introd. to Distillation

Cooling the feed:
1. decreases the number of stages in the rectifying section but
increases the number of stages in the stripping section.
2. requires more heat in the reboiler but decreases the cooling
duty of the condenser.
Heating the feed:
1. increases the number of stages in the rectifying section but
decreases the number of stages in the stripping section.
2. decreases the heat requirement of the reboiler but increases
the cooling duty of the condenser.32Binous - Introd. to Distillation

Feed Stage Location
When choosing the feed stage location, our objective is to find a
stage in the column for which the composition matches as closely
as possible that of the feed.
Mismatches between the composition on the feed stage and that
of the feed create inefficiencies in the distillation. This leads to an
increase in the number of stages required for the same
separation, or more reflux, which means increased energy
requirements, or a combination of both.

Distillation Equipment
Sieve tray, is the most common arrangement used. It is
cheap, simple, and well understood in terms of its
performance.
Valve arrangement offer more flexibility to cope with wider
range of liquid and vapor flow rates.

The difference between the performance of an ideal stage and
a real tray results from the fact that equilibrium is not
achieved on a real tray because of mass transfer limitations.
We therefore define an efficiency to convert from the
theoretical stages to real trays.

1. flooding: liquid cannot flow down the column
2. entrainment: liquid drops are carried up the column by the
vapor flow
3. downcomer backup: liquid backs up in the downcomers
4. weeping: vapor flow is too low to maintain liquid on the tray
5. coning: poor vapor-liquid contact occurs due to the vapor
forming jets
