Concentration Measurement
Concentration measurement is usually replaced by temperature measurement due to its simplicity, speed, and reliability. To choose the best tray for temperature control, various criteria are applied. One common method is the slope criterion, which selects the tray exhibiting the largest temperature changes relative to the adjacent tray (excluding the first tray).
Distillation Column Flow Control
For a distillation column with a single liquid phase and a simple partial condenser where only inerts remain in the vapor phase, several flow control possibilities exist. These must adhere to the following rules:
- Rule 1: Only
