In order to achieve net-zero emissions until 2050, it is of utmost importance to improve the
energy efficiency and thereby reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical …

Extractive distillation (ED) can be combined with divided wall column (DWC) schemes to
separate azeotropic mixtures within one column shell. Traditional extractive divided wall …

The investigation of dynamic controllability of double liquid-only side-stream distillation
(DLSD) is necessary due to its good potential for separating multicomponent mixtures in …

In this contribution, we present a high-fidelity dynamic model of an industrial dividing wall
column and the application of explicit model predictive control for its regulation. Our study …

Distillation columns represent the most widely used separation equipment in the
petrochemical industry. It is usually difficult to apply the traditional mechanism modeling …

For the chemical processes, multiple fluctuations exist, and elucidating the system's dynamic
changes is essential in improving its adaptability. With changes in reactor and separator …

This study explores the economic, energetic, exergy efficiency, and environmental benefits
of energy integration in pressure-swing distillation, focusing on the separation of …

Identifying sustainable chemical processes often depends on the choice of enabling
materials that directly influence the overall performance. Matching property targets while …

Dividing wall distillation columns (DWCs) are a form of process intensified distillation that
allows for the separation of three components within one column shell using a dividing wall …

The presence of uncertainty is ubiquitous in the operation of processes, due to their time-
varying inherent characteristics, external effects that disturb their nominal behavior, and their …
