Binding: Hardcover

Book Description:
A distillation column is both multivariable and nonlinear - and it consumes immense quantities of
energy. Yet, despite the desigh challenges it presents, it is still the most popular unit operation for
refining in industrial plants today. Much has been published on the subject of distillation column
design, but much remains to be explained. That is why this book is unique. In a departure from the
more traditional empirical and theoretical approaches, it introduced the reader to the practical
realm, by presenting quantitative design techniques that have been demonstrated to be useful and
valid over the course of hundreds of actual applications.

The book is divided into three main parts. Part I, an introduction, presents an industrial perspective
of control objectives. It discusses briefly the relationship between column design features and
column controllability. It thus provides a short refresher course for chemical engineers and
background for those trained in other branches of engineering. Part II, Concepts and
Configurations, discusses column overhead and base arrangements, typical control schemes, and
some hardware considerations. Part III is dedicated to quantitative design. Mathematical models
are presented for pressure and differential pressure controls, liquid level control, and composition
control of binary distillation.

Emphasis on topics of primary interest to the control engineer
Essentially nonmathematical treatment
Ideal for those involved in troubleshooting existing columns as well to design engineers

Book Description:
The purpose of this book is to convey to undergraduate students an understanding of those areas of
process control that all chemical engineers need to know. The presentation is concise, readable and
restricted to only essential elements. The methods presented have been successfully applied in
industry to solve real problems. Analysis of closedloop dynamics in the time, Laplace, frequency
and sample-data domains are covered. Designing simple regulatory control systems for
multivariable processes is discussed. The practical aspects of process control are presented sizing
control valves, tuning controllers, developing control structures and considering interaction
between plant design and control. Practical simple identification methods are covered.

Book Description:
The first book to offer a practical, plantwide approach to designing effective controls for
continuous chemical and petroleum processes
Process control lore includes tales of multi-million dollar plants that never operated. Though
individual controls were well designed, they simply did not work together. This book the first to
offer a practical, plantwide approach to preventing such catastrophes. Written by three respected
experts and verified in real-life implementations, this book helps you develop effective basic
regulator control systems for plants on the drawing board, being revamped, or in full operation.
Four realistic case studies (Tennessee-Eastman, isomerization, vinyl acetate, and HDA processes)
contribute to making this guide a process control classic.

A timely treatment of distillationcombining steady-state designand dynamic controllability

As the world continues to seek new sources of energy, the distillation process remains one of the
most important separation methods in the chemical, petroleum, and energy industries. And as new
renewable sources of energy and chemical feedstocks become more universally utilized, the issues
of distillation design and control will remain vital to a future sustainable lifestyle.

Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation introduces the current status and future
implications of this vital technology from the dual perspectives of steady-state design and
dynamics. Where traditional design texts have focused mainly on the steady-state economic
aspects of distillation design, William Luyben also addresses such issues as dynamic performance
in the face of disturbances.

Utilizing the commercial simulators Aspen Plus and Aspen Dynamics, the text guides future and
practicing chemical engineers first in the development of optimal steady-state designs of
distillation systems, and then in the development of effective control structures.

Unique features of the text include:
* In-depth coverage of the dynamics of column design to help develop effective control structures
for distillation columns
* Development of rigorous simulations of single distillation columns and sequences of columns
* Coverage of design and control of petroleum fractionators

Encompassing nearly four decades of research and practical developments in this dynamic field,
the text represents an important reference for both students and experienced engineers faced with
distillation problems.

Book Description:
Chemical Reactor Design and Control uses process simulators like Matlab, Aspen Plus, and
Aspen Dynamics to study the design of chemical reactors and their dynamic control. There are
numerous books that focus on steady-state reactor design. There are no books that consider
practical control systems for real industrial reactors. This unique reference addresses the
simultaneous design and control of chemical reactors. After a discussion of reactor basics, it:
Covers three types of classical reactors: continuous stirred tank (CSTR), batch, and tubular plug
flow Emphasizes temperature control and the critical impact of steady-state design on the
dynamics and stability of reactors Covers chemical reactors and control problems in a plantwide
environment Incorporates numerous tables and shows step-by-step calculations with equations
Discusses how to use process simulators to address diverse issues and types of operations

This is a practical reference for chemical engineering professionals in the process industries,
professionals who work with chemical reactors, and students in undergraduate and graduate
reactor design, process control, and plant design courses.

Product Description:
After an overview of the fundamentals, limitations, and scope of reactive distillation, this book
uses rigorous models for steady-state design and dynamic analysis of different types of reactive
distillation columns and quantitatively compares the economics of reactive distillation columns
with conventional multi-unit processes. It goes beyond traditional steady-state design that
primarily considers the capital investment and energy costs when analyzing the control structure
and the dynamic robustness of disturbances, and discusses how to maximize the economic and
environmental benefits of reactive distillation technology.
