摘要
A study is made of energy-saving options for the distillation of a dilute, aqueous ethanol solution to produce a distillate close to the azeotrope composition. Conventional energy-saving techniques such as multiple heat-integrated columns, vapor recompression, and heat integration with the evaporation section are analyzed and compared. The most economical alternatives and conditions are identified. Sensitivity of the designs and costs to changes in design parameters and utility costs is studied. For a 95 vol percent ethanol distillate, the most economical designs included vapor recompression or a two-column design with split feed for distillation and vapor recompression for the evaporation section. For higher purity distillate, vapor recompression and a two-column design with heavy split proved most attractive.
