What will I learn?
This course offers a quick, hands-on route to designing distillation columns with assurance. You'll learn to choose practical binary mixtures, calculate relative volatility, do VLE and stage computations, decide reflux and feed locations, and determine tray sizes plus column width. Plus, you'll get skills in setting design parameters, figuring energy requirements, readying data for simulations, and writing solid, justified design documents.
