Cyclic distillation: A novel enhanced technology for processing hydrocarbons and derivatives
Cyclic distillation: A novel enhanced technology for processing hydrocarbons and derivatives Distillation is the most widespread separation method in history. Distillation is the most widespread separation method in history.1 Despite its simplicity and flexibility, distillation remains a very energy-inefficient process. Novel distillation concepts based on process intensification (PI) principles can deliver major advantages in terms of significantly lower energy use and reduced capital costs while improving ecological efficiency. The PI concept has been around since the mid-20th century, but...
