Rate-based analysis of reactive distillation sequences with different degrees of integration

Dividing wall columns in chemical process industry: A review on current activities

“…However, this process has been analysed theoretically (see Table 5). The first comprehensive papers on R-DWC modelling were published by the group of Kenig [42,47,48,55]. They also introduced the name R-DWC into use.…”

“…This method is based on the equations introduced by Fenske, Underwood, Gilliland and Kirkbride. The calculations are relatively simple and can be used for mixtures of any number of components [42]. Another simple method for the conceptual design of DWCs is suggested by Halvorsen and Skogestad [43][44][45].…”

Modeling of Distillation Processes

“…For the DWC, this is especially difficult regarding the large number of required design parameters (see Ref. [117]). In addition to conventional column variables (e.g.…”

Design and control of reactive dividing-wall column for the production of methyl acetate

“…Kiss et al studied the RDWC for the production of FAME with methanol and fatty acids, and the results indicated that 25% of energy savings could be realized compared with the base case design [18]. Mueller et al developed a special two-step to decompose the RDWC into simple column sequences [19,20]. Fig.…”

“…Abdul Mutalib and Smith investigated the operation and control of the dividing wall column, and presented two different control configuration using temperature control [26,27]. Mueller et al [19,20] studied the transesterification of acetates process with three types of configurations. They concluded that the RDWC configuration could realize half of the total costs savings in contrast to others.…”
