Description

Distillation refers to the selective boiling and subsequent condensation of a component in a liquid mixture. It is a separation technique that can be used to either increase the concentration of a particular component in the mixture or to obtain (almost) pure components from the mixture.The problem of determining the stage and reflux requirements for multicomponent distillations is much more complex than for binary mixtures.Multicomponent Distillation for Chemical Process Engineers training course will be the best fit in Udemy aiming to fill the needs for multicomponent distillation column design. The course is specifically designed to cover the principles of multicomponent distillation, distillation column design with Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland Method and column sizing by going over the following essential topics:Distillation Process OverviewDistillation Column and Supporting EquipmentDistillation PrinciplesOperating Challenges in Distillation ProcessDistillation Column DesignImplementation of Fenske and Underwood Equations for Number of Stages and Reflux Ratio CalculationsImplementation of Gilliland Correlations for Actual Number of Stages CalculationColumn Sizing Considerations, such as, Tray Efficiency, Operating Pressure, Height/Diameter Calculations, Process Control, etc.Above points have clearly been discussed during the course. This training can be really helpful for students, engineers and even teachers aiming to deliver the essentials of multicomponent distillation from engineering point of view. By spending only 2 hours, you can really understand the whole topic and further do practical calculations. Course instructor does also provide the service of answering questions for all course participants for free.
