Design guidelines outline solutions for reducing fouling in distillation columns DISTILLATION—1 When designing mass transfer equipment for fouling service, one must first understand the fouling ...

Following installation of a new air-cooled condenser as part of its crude distillation unit's preflash tower overhead, a US Midwestern refinery began producing off-spec light naphtha that led to ...

Distillation uses enormous amounts of energy, consuming up to 50 percent of a refinery’s operating costs due to intense heating and cooling cycles. (Approximate Time - 0:57) ...

We all want the inside story. Greater visibility into asset performance gives chemical and energy companies a competitive edge. Having a better understanding of column hydraulic performance can ...
