THE FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND ON DISTILLATION TECHNOLOGY
The last half-century of research on distillation has tremendously
improved our understanding and design of industrial distillation
equipment and systems. High-speed computers have taken over the
design, control, and operation of towers. Invention and innovation
in tower internals have greatly enhanced tower capacity and
efficiency. With all these advances, one would expect the failure
rate in distillation towers to be on the decline. In fact, the
opposite is the case: the tower failure rate is on the rise and
accelerating.
Distillation Troubleshooting collects invaluable hands-on
experiences acquired in dealing with distillation and absorption
malfunctions, making them readily accessible for those engaged in
solving today's problems and avoiding tomorrow's. The first book of
its kind on the distillation industry, the practical lessons it
offers are a must for those seeking the elusive path to
trouble-free distillation.
Distillation Troubleshooting covers over 1,200 case histories of
problems, diagnoses, solutions, and key lessons. Coverage includes:
* Successful and unsuccessful struggles with plugging, fouling, and
coking
* Histories and prevention of tray, packing, and internals
damage
* Lessons taught by incidents and accidents during shutdowns,
commissioning, and abnormal operation
* Troubleshooting distillation simulations to match the real
world
* Making packing liquid distributors work
* Plant bottlenecks from intermediate draws, chimney trays, and
feed points
* Histories of and key lessons from explosions and fires in
distillation towers
* Prevention of flaws that impair reboiler and condenser
performance
* Destabilization of tower control systems and how to correct
it
* Discoveries from shutdown inspections
* Suppression of foam and accumulation incidents
A unique resource for improving the foremost industrial separation
process, Distillation Troubleshooting transforms decades of
hands-on experiences into a handy reference for professionals and
students involved in the operation, design, study, improvement, and
management of large-scale distillation.
