Synopsis

Distillation Without Equations A practical how-to guide to the operation, control, and design of industrial-scale distillation systems Based on real-world, hands-on experience, this guide is prepared to help anyone, of any age or educational background, master the Art of Distilling, with confidence, safety, and efficiency. This guidebook, designed to accompany a live seminar series presented by the author, now is available as a stand-alone resource, to help plant technical and non-technical personnel to understand how to operate a production distillation system. Subjects covered by this book include: Operating a Distillation System:* Taking over watch of an already running distillation system: What's going on inside? What am I supposed to do, or not do?* Problems that might come along: What to watch for, and what to do about it. Distillation Separation Process Synthesis:* VLE relationships in multi-component mixtures.* Equilibrium stage separation process synthesis: how to "un-mix" and purify to required quality.* Flow sheet modeling using computer simulators and lab tests. Controlling a Distillation System:* Discussion of possible levels of control complexity.* Merits of alternative control schemes.* Field instrument types and control hardware types.* Software development for PLC and DCS systems.

Biographie de l'auteur

Your Author and Instructor: Steve Licht, BS Chemical Engineering (1979), University of Illinois at Chicago, began his chemical industry career in 1973 as a pilot plant operator and technician making laboratory vapor liquid equilibrium measurements. He has presented live seminars from the "Distillation Without Equations" seminar series to groups of engineers, scientists, plant operators, and supervisors, in Ireland, Puerto Rico, and India, in a technology transfer effort accompanying the migration of chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities to these regions. Steve has designed over 80 distillation systems placed into operation in diverse industries (with a concentration in bulk pharmaceuticals) in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. He now provides engineering consulting services for distillation systems and control systems, including testing and validation of modern computer process control systems, and presents live seminars from the "Distillation Without Equations" series as demand warrants.
