(79c) Network of Dividing Wall Columns in Complex Process Units

2018 Spring Meeting and 14th Global Congress on Process Safety
Distillation Symposium
Advances in Dividing Wall Column (DWC) Technology
Tuesday, April 24, 2018 - 9:12am to 9:47am
The use of Dividing Wall Columns (DWCs) and thermally-coupled distillation designs are gaining acceptance in the industry as more is known about these systems. However, the usage has been limited to stand-alone towers in grassroots or revamp designs.
This presentation will share operating experiences and designs for a network of DWCs in a complex separation process. The magnitude of CAPEX and OPEX savings is substantially increased in a system of separation towers, and the degrees of freedom is increased. There will be cases studies based on a DWC network in the following systems:
- Naphtha Hydtrotreating
- C5/C6 Isomerization
- Reformer Gas Plant
