Chemical reactors—control should be considered during designChemical 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 flowEmphasizes temperature control and the critical impact of steady-state design on the dynamics and stability of reactorsCovers chemical reactors and control problems in a plantwide environmentIncorporates numerous tables and shows step-by-step calculations with equationsDiscusses how to use process simulators to address diverse issues and types of operationsThis 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.

Reactive distillation has economical and environmental advantagesReactive distillation is a breakthrough process innovation with numerous applications in the petroleum and chemical industries. In systems with the appropriate chemistry and vapor–liquid phase equilibrium, it combines the reaction and separation operations, which reduces energy and capital costs and environmental impact. After an overview of the fundamentals, limitations, and scope of reactive distillation, Reactive Distillation Design and Control: Uses rigorous models for steady-state design and dynamic analysis of different types of reactive distillation columnsQuantitatively compares the economics of reactive distillation columns with conventional multi-unit processesGoes beyond traditional steady-state design that considers primarily the capital investment and energy costs when analyzing the control structure and the dynamic robustness of disturbancesDiscusses how to maximize the economic and environmental benefits of reactive distillation technologyWritten by authors who have a background in design and control with an emphasis on practical engineering solutions to real industrial problems, this guide forgoes intricate, complicated mathematics and complex methods of analysis and gets down to business. It's an accessible reference for chemical, process, and petroleum engineers and undergraduate and graduate students in chemical engineering.

Hands-on guidance for the design, control, and operation of azeotropic distillation systems Following this book's step-by-step guidance, readers learn to master tested and proven methods to overcome a major problem in chemical processing: the distillation and separation of azeotropes. Practical in focus, the book fully details the design, control, and operation of azeotropic distillation systems, using rigorous steady-state and dynamic simulation tools.Design and Control of Distillation Systems for Separating Azeotropes is divided into five parts: Fundamentals and tools Separations without adding other components Separations using light entrainer (heterogeneous azeotropic distillation) Separations using heavy entrainer (extractive distillation) Other ways for separating azeotropes The distillation methods presented cover a variety of important industrial chemical systems, including the processing of biofuels. For most of these chemical systems, the authors explain how to achieve economically optimum steady-state designs. Moreover, readers learn how to implement practical control structures that provide effective load rejection to manage disturbances in throughput and feed composition.Trade-offs between steady-state energy savings and dynamic controllability are discussed, helping readers design and implement the distillation system that best meets their particular needs. In addition, economic and dynamic comparisons between alternative methods are presented, including an example of azeotropic distillation versus extractive distillation for the isopropanol/water system.With its focus on practical solutions, Design and Control of Distillation Systems for Separating Azeotropes is ideal for engineers facing a broad range of azeotropic separation problems. Moreover, this book is recommended as a supplemental text for undergraduate and graduate engineering courses in design, control, mass transfer, and bio-processing.

There are many comprehensive design books, but none of them provide a significant number of detailed economic design examples of typically complex industrial processes. Most of the current design books cover a wide variety of topics associated with process design. In addition to discussing flowsheet development and equipment design, these textbooks go into a lot of detail on engineering economics and other many peripheral subjects such as written and oral skills, ethics, "green" engineering and product design. This book presents general process design principles in a concise readable form that can be easily comprehended by students and engineers when developing effective flow sheet and control structures. Ten detailed case studies presented illustrate an in-depth and quantitative way the application of these general principles. Detailed economic steady-state designs are developed that satisfy economic criterion such as minimize total annual cost of both capital and energy or return on incremental capital investment. Complete detailed flow sheets and Aspen Plus files are provided. Then conventional PI control structures are be developed and tested for their ability to maintain product quality during disturbances. Complete Aspen Dynamics files are be provided of the dynamic simulations.

Learn how to develop optimal steady-state designs for distillation systemsAs the search for new energy sources grows ever more urgent, distillation remains at the forefront among separation methods in the chemical, petroleum, and energy industries. Most importantly, as renewable sources of energy and chemical feedstocks continue to be developed, distillation design and control will become ever more important in our ability to ensure global sustainability.Using the commercial simulators Aspen Plus® and Aspen Dynamics®, this text enables readers to develop optimal steady-state designs for distillation systems. Moreover, readers will discover how to develop effective control structures. While traditional distillation texts focus on the steady-state economic aspects of distillation design, this text also addresses such issues as dynamic performance in the face of disturbances.Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation introduces the current status and future implications of this vital technology from the perspectives of steady-state design and dynamics. The book begins with a discussion of vapor-liquid phase equilibrium and then explains the core methods and approaches for analyzing distillation columns. Next, the author covers such topics as: Setting up a steady-state simulationDistillation economic optimizationSteady-state calculations for control structure selectionControl of petroleum fractionatorsDesign and control of divided-wall columnsPressure-compensated temperature control in distillation columnsSynthesizing four decades of research breakthroughs and practical applications in this dynamic field, Distillation Design and Control Using Aspen Simulation is a trusted reference that enables both students and experienced engineers to solve a broad range of challenging distillation problems.
