Dear Forum Members

1. In determination of crude column top pressure and temperature. I have converted the TVP curve to EFV curve. The efv curve that has been produced is in at atmospheric pressure. So now I need to convert the EFV curve to column pressure. But I cannot find the procedure to convert it to a different pressure. Is it possible to convert the flash curve to a different pressure through phase envelope? How can I? Please direct me to a reference.

2. Is there any reference regarding crude oil distillation where steam is not being used as energy input to the column (conventional reboiler).

For info: I am trying to learn crude distillation. I have couple of small plant example design.

Have access to HYSYS and Pro II, (More accustomed to HYSYS.)
and following study materials

1. Petroleum Refinery Engineering by W. L. Nelson, 4th edition, McGraw-Hill, 1958
2. Petroleum Refinery Distillation by R. N. Watkins, 2nd edition, Gulf, 1979
3. Refinery Process Design (Lecture Notes) Dr. Ramgopal Uppaluri, IIT Guwahati
4. Data Book On Hydrocarbons Application To Process Engineering J. B. Maxwell
5. Handbook of Petroleum Processing David S. J. Jones, Peter R. Pujado 2006
6. How to Design Crude Distillation Watkins Hydrocarbon Processing-1969

I would appreciate any suggestion.
