Distillation Control approaches this subject from a process engineering perspective to explain the use of steady-state simulations to develop, to analyze, and to troubleshoot all aspects of column controls, including their practical application and cost benefits. Practicing engineers and other professionals working in process facilities that use distillation to separate materials will find this book a reliable companion\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearn to Design the Best Control Configuration for Any Distillation Column\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday, distillation is by far the most common separation technique used in the chemical and petroleum industries. All distillation columns need to be carefully controlled in order to meet specified production and quality levels. \u003ci\u003eDistillation Control\u003c\/i\u003e enables readers to do this by approaching the subject from a process to develop, analyze, and troubleshoot all aspects of column controls.
