This paper presents a neural network based strategy for the modelling and optimisation of
energy efficiency in distillation columns incorporating the second law of thermodynamics …

In this work, exergy analysis of cumene production plant is carried out in an integrated
environment of Aspen Plus and MATLAB. Physical exergy is calculated in Aspen Plus V. 10 …

Benzene is a known carcinogen, and is desired to be removed from the gasoline additive for
environmental reason. A benzene removal process from the additive, reformate of catalytic …

Exergy analysis method is applied to evaluate the performance of reactive distillation (RD)
column in the acetic acid production process, at which acetic acid is produced via reaction …

In this work, plant wide modelling of a petroleum refinery was conducted for the optimization.
An Aspen HYSYS® model of a petroleum refinery was used for collection of the information …

The integrated process of naphtha reforming and isomerization is energy-deficient;
therefore, energy-efficient design is vital to make it sustainable and viable. Exergy analysis …

Butanone and ethyl acetate are widely used in chemical production and separation. They
are usually used together in actual production. Therefore, it also appears in the waste water …

Dilute acetic acid is obtained primarily from fermentation and synthesis processes and
cannot be produced by simple distillation due to relatively low volatility of acetic acid …

An energy‐efficient crude distillation unit (CDU) was proposed, and its performance was
evaluated and compared with that of a conventional CDU. The problem of the large energy …

The offshore operation of chemical plant requires the compactness of process equipments
due to its harsh environment. A DWC (divided wall column), a compact ternary separator, is …
