Distillation Tower Systems

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Distillation Tower System consists of a 316L stainless steel tower containing tower internals (packing materials or trays) with the following associated equipment: a feed heater, an overhead condenser, two overhead condensate collection tanks, a reboiler, a tower bottom product cooler, liquid transfer pumps, and a control and instrumentation system for monitoring and adjustment of the system pressures, temperatures, fluid levels, and flow rates. It is designed to separate solvent mixture into an overhead product that meets the solvent product specification and a bottom liquid product that will be further processed in the next step. The overhead product is produced under strict QA control. The two overhead condensate collection tanks, operating in tandem, can provide adequate time for QA analysis and approval for release. The distillation tower operates on a campaign basis.
