Here we go. Gene "The Contrary Farmer" Logsdon has taken on some controversial subjects in his time, but this time he has bitten off (sipped on doesnt sound right) a topic bound to raise strong feelings on both sides of societys moral boundary lines. His subject is alcohol and its traditional role on the family homestead. Not surprisingly, Gene ...
Water scarcity affects the African, Asian, European and American continents, causing serious problems of social welfare and stability. This book of the "NATO Science Series" presents the state of the art of Desalination Technologies driven by Renewable Energies, highlighting the results achieved in the research field and presenting the ...
This title offers a timely treatment of distillation combining steady-state design and 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 ...
A completely thorough and up-to-date guide to modern distillation methods and their applications Distillation has been used for separating liquid mixtures for more than two thousand years, and it continues to be the most widely used separation technique in key industries throughout the industrialized world. Although the basic principles have ...
This text provides thorough coverage of design principles for distillation processes. It contains an up-to-date presentation of process and equipment design procedures, highlights limitations of some design methods, and offers guidance on how to overcome them.
Special distillation processes are required for separation of mixtures close to boiling point or for forming azeotrope mixtures into their pure components. In "Special Distillation Processes", the authors focus on latest developments in the field, such as separation methods that may prove useful for solving problems encountered during research. ...
Distillation Theory and Its Application to Optimal Design of Separation Units presents a clear, multidimensional geometric representation of distillation theory that is valid for all distillation column types, splits, and mixtures. This representation answers such fundamental questions as: * What are the feasible separation products for a given ...
When the first American tax on distilled spirits was established in 1791, violence broke out in Pennsylvania. The resulting Whiskey Rebellion sent hundreds of families down the Ohio River by flatboat, stills on board, to settle anew in the fertile bottomlands of Kentucky. Here they used cold limestone spring water to make bourbon and found that ...
There are many books that discuss distillation, but there is only one that concentrates on giving readers practical guidelines for operation, troubleshooting and control. This is that book. Its contents revolves around over 300 actual case histories of distillation problems that occurred in the past. Each problem and its solution are briefly ...
A number of books on desalination have appeared in recent years but most have been academically oriented and have neglected the most dominant of the distillation processes - multistage flash (MSF). This book, emphasising practical engineering rather than academic considerations, is the first to be devoted primarily to MSF. The first part describes ...
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 ...
This is the first book of its kind on distillation technology. The last half century of research on distillation has tremendously improved our understanding and design of industrial distillation equipment and systems. High speed computers have taken over the design, control, and operation of towers. Invention and innovation in tower internals have ...
The batch distillation process has existed for many centuries. It is perhaps the oldest technology for separating or purifying liquid mixtures and is the most frequently used separation method in batch processes. In the last 25 years, with continuous development of faster computers and sophisticated numerical methods, there have been many ...
First published in 1986, this book contains an in-depth treatment on distillation tray hydrodynamics and efficiency, with an emphasis on sieve and valve trays. As distillation lies at the heart of the petroleum and chemical industries, so at the heart of most distillation columns are the trays used to effect the separation. Topics covered by the ...
This book describes the solar desalination test plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE and gives a summary of its first year performance and economics. The plant has been operating successfully for 18 years supplying fresh water to the City of Abu Dhabi. The plant was commissioned in September 1984 and was running until the year 2002 when it was dismantled after ...
This handbook unifies disparate industrial practices on distillation control through a discussion of principles, case studies and expert recommendations. It examines methodology and provides specific application examples. Chapters 3-14 discuss methods and techniques that are useful in illustrating how these methods can be applied to specific ...
Jim Krohn has been making booze for years, and in this book he discusses how to set up a still, the equipment youall need and the techniques involved in producing your own clear sugar alky you can flavor and then acuta to create gin, bourbon, vodka, scotch or flavored liqueurs. Includes a helpful appendix of equipment and supplies and recipes for ...
In a reactive distillation column, both the chemical conversion and the distillative separation of the product mixture are carried out simultaneously. Through this integrative strategy, chemical equilibrium limitations can be overcome, higher selectivities can be achieved and heat of reaction can be directly used for distillation. Increased ...
Introducing various operating modes in detail, "Batch Distillation: Simulation, Optimal Design, And Control" examines the challenges involved in a rigorous modeling of batch distillation column dynamics, and describes optimal control problems. The text discusses the design or operation of specialty chemical processes as well as errors and perils ...
Part of the McGraw-Hill "Chemical Engineering" series, this text constitutes an in-depth treatment of the subject of multicomponent distillation. It begins with first principles and goes to the frontiers of the subject. Each topic is introduced in an elementary and fundamental manner, which makes the text suitable for the undergraduate student, ...
