What will I learn?
This course provides a rapid, practical route to proficient column design in process engineering. You will learn to choose realistic binary systems, estimate relative volatility, conduct VLE and stage calculations, determine reflux and feed stages, and size trays and column diameters. Additionally, you will practise establishing design bases, calculating energy duties, preparing for simulations, and producing clear, robust design reports.
