Distillation Column Design and Optimization Training

Sector:
Chemicals & Process – Separation Technology
Technical Focus Area:
Separation & Purification Technology
About the Course
This course provides practical training in distillation column design and optimization, covering how columns are designed to achieve target separation performance and how existing columns are optimized for better efficiency. It is designed for engineers responsible for distillation systems.
Participants examine tray and packing selection, column sizing, and troubleshooting techniques, building the practical skills needed to design new columns and improve the performance of existing ones. Case examples illustrate common distillation performance issues and their resolution.
