I have to separate a mixture of n-butanol and water. I know the common practice is two distillation columns with a decanter which I plan on doing but I was wondering what would be the best way to size my columns. Should I use something like the fenske/underwood method for equilibrium stages or...

I was just trying to decided which piece of equipment would be better suited for my process. I have a process of producing Succinic Acid by E. Coli fermentation and once the fermentation is complete I need to reduce the volume of my batch so I can concentrate the Succinic Acid. I first thought...
