Abstract

AbstractAnalytical equations for determining the minimum reflux ratio of multiple feed distillation columns are presented by using a factor method. For the method, a factor which converts feed flow to minimum reflux ratio is used. The factor is a function of the feed concentration and thermal condition. The calculation steps for determining minimum reflux ratio of multiple feed columns are summarized. A computer program is available (microcomputer or mainframe). Application of the factor method for minimum reflux ratio is illustrated by several examples.
