Modeling and Control of Binary Distillation Column

M.Sharmila, Ms.V.Mangaiyarkarasi

Distillation is a continuous process in the petroleum and the chemical industries. A high amount of energy used in the chemical and petrochemical industries is consumed in the distillation process, since large amount of heat transfer takes place between the trays of distillation column. Thus, there is a need of energy efficient process to be designed and controlled, in order to make the final and the intermediate products of the distillation process of desired quality and the whole process being more economic. In the present study, graphical programming of LabVIEW software has been utilized to develop model for distillation column and also to control the product stream composition. Results from the simulation are helpful for initial steps of a petroleum project feasibility study and design
