Design guidelines outline solutions for reducing fouling in distillation columns DISTILLATION—1 When designing mass transfer equipment for fouling service, one must first understand the fouling ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design of soft sensors based on supervised learning for a distillation column. The sensors are designed to estimate specific temperature values during the process.

Refinery vacuum distillation units (VDUs) use ejector systems to establish and maintain distillation-column pressure for capturing valuable crude fractions and reducing vacuum residuum. Reliable ...

We all want the inside story. Greater visibility into asset performance gives chemical and energy companies a competitive edge. Having a better understanding of column hydraulic performance can ...
