AIChE manual updates and consolidates procedures for testingperformance of distillation columns
From classic distillation operations to air stripping to otherseparations processes, selecting the correct column for appropriateefficient, safe, and environmentally-sound operations can be animportant step. The newest updated volume in AIChE'slong-running Equipment Testing Procedures series, Trayed andPacked Columns: A Guide to Performance Evaluation, ThirdEdition provides chemical engineers, plant managers, and otherprofessionals with helpful advice to assess and measure performanceof a variety of distillation columns, including those that utilizebubble cap, sieve, valve trays, or packing material.
The new book combines and updates into one user-friendly volumethe best available field knowledge from previous publications onboth types of distillation columns. Designed not as a single set ofcompulsory steps, but as a compilation of techniques, it will allowthe user to select the procedure that best applies to its operatingparameters. The testing steps presented can be used to assessreliable performance data on mass transfer efficiency, capacity,energy consumption, and pressure drop--information essentialto effective troubleshooting of performance problems, identifyingcapacity bottlenecks, determining operating ranges, and a number ofother routine maintenance and optimization processes.
Opening with an extensive definition section, organized bytopical area, the book then goes on to address:
* Selection of instrumentation and identification of elements tobe measured
* Pre-test planning procedures
* Strategies for data collection and evaluation, includingsampling procedures
* Pre-test, in-test, and post-test considerations (equipment,safety, process, environmental)
* Computation and interpretation of results, including individualbreakdowns for trayed and packed columns in terms of hydraulic andefficiency performance
* Test troubleshooting analysis in twelve key areas
The book concludes with appendices for relevant symbols andnomenclature, plus sample caculations generated from performancetests.
With its engineer-tested procedures and thorough explanations,Trayed and Packed Columns: A Guide to Performance Evaluation,Third Edition is an essential text for anyone engaged inimplementing new technology in equipment design, identifyingprocess problems, and optimizing equipment performance.
