OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND for enhancing the performance of tens of thousands of distillation columns in use worldwide today.However,that requires looking at every aspect of their operation,maintenance and management,say experts.Jose Bravo,President of Fractionation Research Inc.,Stillwater,Okla.,points to a variety of energy saving measures that have been-and still are being-implemented in distillation systems worldwide.They encompass three broad areas: process integration,peripherals,and advanced control and optimization.Process integration can take advantage of a range of technologies.For instance,he cites dividing wall columns and notes that hundreds of such columns now operate at chemical plants and refineries.(For more details on the technology,see:”Consider Dividing Wall Columns,”http://bit.ly/20gwW6a).He also mentions several dozen projects for recovering heat from condensers to preheat feed,a similar number involving lower pressures in main fractionators at refineries,and the use of advanced packings and re-traying to reduce pressure drop.
