Distillation in Process Engineering Course
Gain expertise in distillation for process engineering through practical techniques in column design, tray efficiency, hydraulics, energy estimation, and simulation preparation. This equips you to create safer, more efficient separation systems confidently for industrial applications, covering key methods like Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland for rapid sizing and optimisation.

What will I learn?
This course offers a quick, hands-on approach to master distillation column design. You will select binary systems, estimate volatility, conduct VLE and stage calculations, optimise reflux and feed locations, size trays and diameters, define design parameters, calculate energy requirements, ready data for simulations, and produce robust design documentation.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Learn distillation design basics: size columns quickly using Fenske, Underwood, and Gilliland methods.
- Optimise feed and tray selection: choose feed stage and tray efficiency for sharp separations.
- Master column hydraulics: calculate diameter, flooding limits, and tray layout efficiently.
- Estimate energy needs: compute condenser and reboiler duties for new designs accurately.
- Prepare simulation inputs: define design basis and specs for detailed column modelling.
