WEBINAR: Designing Complex Distillation Systems

Chemical engineers are often faced with the task of modeling, designing and scale up of distillation processes to perform difficult separations and subsequently purify and recover potentially valuable chemicals when conventional distillation is not an option. These may include azeotropic, reactive, extractive and pressure swing distillation processes. Engineering these complex distillation systems comes with unique challenges that are dependent on the type of technology used. Hence, there are many design considerations to explore. Join us to learn more about the design, technology selection, pilot testing and scale up of such distillation processes. We will also cover general design principles, their applications and real world examples, as well as the various column & mass transfer technologies available.
