What will I learn?
This course provides a streamlined, practical approach to mastering distillation column design. Participants learn to choose appropriate binary systems, calculate relative volatility, conduct VLE and stage analyses, optimise reflux and feed locations, and determine tray sizing and column dimensions. Additional focus includes establishing design parameters, approximating energy requirements, readying data for simulations, and producing thorough, justified design documentation.
