Published studies have been focused mainly on the energy integration of continuous distillation columns. In this contribution, a novel heat integrated batch distillation column (HIBDC) is proposed. Aiming to improve the thermodynamic efficiency and reduce the total annual cost (TAC), a thermally...

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...

Increasing energy demand, consequently high crude oil prices and growing concern for pollution motivated the researchers to explore more energy-efficient and environment-friendly process technologies. Although the heat integrated distillation has been researched for a number of decades,...
