What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to distillation column design in process engineering. You will learn to choose binary systems, estimate volatility, conduct VLE and stage calculations, optimise reflux and feed locations, size trays and diameters, define design parameters, calculate energy requirements, prepare for simulations, and produce clear design documentation.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Master distillation design basics: size columns quickly using Fenske, Underwood, and Gilliland methods.
