dc.description.abstract |
Many distilleries where potable-quality ethanol spirit is manufactured contain a hydro-extractive distillation column.
Addition of water as the extractive agent here results in a large dilution of ethanol, and subsequently, a higher energy
consumption at the rectification column. By means of computer-aided simulation, it was found that the hydro-extractive
distillation step could be effectively replaced with a high-reflux distillation step. It was also found that application of this
result to a working distillery in Sri Lanka would result in an energy saving of 251 kW. |
