Abstract
Distillation designers often shy away from using vacuum distillation because of misconceptions about operating and control difficulties. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate that this hesitancy can lead to lost opportunities for significant reductions in energy requirements and operating costs. Process intensification via operating at deeper vacuum conditions can improve economic and environmental performance despite requiring larger diameter vessels and enhanced inert-removal facilities.
