R. Schneider et al., OPTIMIZATION OF AN INDUSTRIAL 3-PHASE DISTILLATION COLUMN TRAIN WITH EXPERIMENTAL-VERIFICATION, Computers & chemical engineering, 21, 1997, pp. 1131-1136
An industrial plant was optimized with the help of synthesis methods,
By the use of these methods new flow sheets could be developed and, fu
rthermore, by a simulation tool the developed improved structure alter
natives were analysed and valued. For the validation of the simulation
tool and for the verification of the structure alternatives a pilot p
lant was built. First experimental results will be shown.
