Advanced Distillation Technologies - Design, Control and Applications

Informationen zum Autor Dr. Ir. Anton A. Kiss has a PhD degree in chemical engineering and around 15 years of academic research and education experience, supported by 5 years of industrial research experience in the area of distillation and integrated chemical processes. Currently, he works as project leader and senior researcher in Separation Technology at AkzoNobel Research, Development & Innovation, Deventer, The Netherlands, acting as the key expert in distillation, reactive-separations, and other integrated processes. In his capacity as an award-winning researcher in separation technologies - particularly in distillation -  Dr Kiss has given many lectures at universities and conferences and has  carried out more than 100 research & industrial projects. He has also supervised numerous graduation projects, and has published several textbooks and more than 50 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals. Klappentext Distillation has historically been the main method for separating mixtures in the chemical process industry. However, despite the flexibility and widespread use of distillation processes, they still remain extremely energy inefficient. Increased optimization and novel distillation concepts can deliver substantial benefits, not just in terms of significantly lower energy use, but also in reducing capital investment and improving eco-efficiency. While likely to remain the separation technology of choice for the next few decades, there is no doubt that distillation technologies need to make radical changes in order to meet the demands of the energy-conscious society.Advanced Distillation Technologies: Design, Control and Applications gives a deep and broad insight into integrated separations using non-conventional arrangements, including both current and upcoming process intensification technologies.It includes:* Key concepts in distillation technology* Principles of design, control, sizing and economics of distillation* Dividing-wall column (DWC) - design, configurations, optimal operation and energy efficient and advanced control* DWC applications in ternary separations, azeotropic, extractive and reactive distillation* Heat integrated distillation column (HIDiC) - design, equipment and configurations* Heat-pump assisted applications (MVR, TVR, AHP, CHRP, TAHP and others)* Cyclic distillation technology - concepts, modeling approach, design and control issues* Reactive distillation - fundamentals, equipment, applications, feasibility scheme* Results of rigorous simulations in Mathworks Matlab & Simulink, Aspen Plus, Dynamics and Custom ModelerContaining abundant examples and industrial case studies, this is a unique resource that tackles the most advanced distillation technologies - all the way from the conceptual design to practical implementation.The author of Advanced Distillation Technologies, Dr. Ir. Anton A. Kiss, has been awarded the Hoogewerff Jongerenprijs 2013. Find out more (website in Dutch)...
