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.

Learning Milestones

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

- Design a distillation column for a target separation.
- Select appropriate tray or packing internals.
- Size a distillation column for capacity and efficiency.
- Troubleshoot common distillation performance issues.
- Evaluate energy optimization opportunities in distillation.
- Interpret column performance data to identify problems.
