Abstract
In reactive distillation the design has to specify the rate of reactio n on each stage. This can be done either in one design phase using ''g lobal optimization'' or stage by stage using ''local optimization'' on each stage. A design algorithm and a design program for such a ''loca l optimization'' approach for reactive distillation is presented. The optimization is based on directions in the concentration space. A desi gn example is presented.
