Design of Short-cut Distillation Column in Aspen HYSYS | Part-1 | Lecture # 17

Learn to simulate the short-cut distillation column and get initial estimates for rigorous distillation column design. This is our 1st simulation exercise based on the given values of % purity. The problem statement for today`s task is given below:
Problem Statement:
A feed mixture (liquid) consisting of 60 mol% methanol & 40 mol% water is fed to the distillation column at 5 bar, at a flowrate of 1000 kgmole/h. The % age purity of methanol required in the top product is 99% (liquid), and that of water in the bottom product is 99%. The pressure in the condenser is 4.8 bar, while in the reboiler is 5 bar. Estimate the initial design parameters.
In our next lecture, we will use % recovery values to design short-cut distillation column. Stay Tuned!!

Could you please suggest a good book on aspen for practice

[@xaviers.1332]

Excellent!

[@aspenchemchannel]

Thank you Kamran Arif.

[@sachinpanwar8086]

superb

[@khurram7555]

Thanks.. please converge shortcut column for any crude also.. thanks

[@aspenchemchannel]

Sure. Soon

[@muhammadbilal6552]

AoA sir.
I want to ask you sir which book we can follow for practice. means from that we can take questions and example to perform our practice of simulations. kindly please suggest some books for all equipment design and simulation

[@MuhammadWaqas-uf9mj]

Why do we have to multiply by a factor 1.3 to get external reflux ratio?

[@aspenchemchannel]

The actual reflux ratio is calculated by multiplying minimum reflux ratio by a factor. That factor usually lies between 1.3-1.5. That's why it is multiplied with 1.3

[@prajwalshinde7370]

After giving condenser and reboiler pressure, it is showing that the reflux ratio could not be calculated even after 20 iterations. What do I do?

[@aspenchemchannel]

Please recheck your values.

[@angelinatan7631]

How to simulate if I want to have a partial condenser in the column?

[@aspenchemchannel]

Select partial as condenser type

[@sachinpanwar8086]

@@aspenchemchannel where is this option available in shotcut distillation?

[@jaiminprajapati1603]

Everything is okay sir , but can you please make a video on how to download and install aspen software for free and no license key error....please sir

[@aspenchemchannel]

The installation link is given in the description of Lecture # 2.
