Dear all,
I am trying to find the best way to simulate and design a distillation column with a defined cuts for a sidedraw. The sidedraw will be the mainproduct in this operation.
Example:
Assay Boilingrange: 150°C to 350°C
Sidedraw with CUT: 200-300°C
Which type of Subflowsheet and respective specifications should be used for the simulation?
I solved the Simulation using: “distillation column subflowsheet” with the specs: "temperature on the draw tray" to 200°C @ vap frac 1 and 300°C @ vap frac 0.
But…this way seems to be too time consuming and I think there might be an easier way as defined cuts for sidedraws should be used often enough in refinery-engineering.
What's your poinion?
Regards
Andre
