In this contribution, a novel intensified heat integrated ternary distillation column (int-HITDiC) is introduced. The objective is to show the superiority of the int-HITDiC over its general form, namely the HITDiC and the conventional standalone column on the basis of two criteria: energy...

Batch distillation is an irreversible process and consumes many times the theoretical minimum energy requirement. The present work focuses on the development of an internally heat integrated batch distillation with a jacketed still (IHIBDJS) aiming to reduce the degree of irreversibility towards...

It has long been recognized that the highly irreversible operation of batch distillation involves more wastage of energy compared to continuous flow distillation. For boosting its energy efficiency, the middle vessel batch distillation (MVBD) column has been invented. In this paper, a rigorous...
