OPERATION AND CONTROL OF DIVIDING WALL DISTILLATION COLUMNS Part 1: Degrees of Freedom and Dynamic Simulation

The dividing wall distillation column has been known now for some 50 years. Despite its potential to make major savings in energy and capital costs in distillation, it has not been widely used in practice. One of themajor fears in applying the technologyis uncertainty regarding the control and op...
