What will I learn?
This course provides a quick, hands-on guide to distillation column design. You will select binary systems, estimate volatility, do VLE and stage calculations, set reflux and feed locations, and size trays and diameters. Additionally, define design basis, estimate energy needs, prepare for simulations, and create clear design reports.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Learn distillation design basics: size columns quickly using Fenske, Underwood, and Gilliland methods.
