Customer Story

Simulation-Driven Energy Reduction in Distillation Systems with CHEMCAD

Discover how engineering teams used process simulation to evaluate a complex distillation system, uncover optimization opportunities, and improve operational efficiency within existing infrastructure.

What the case study covers:

  • Building a detailed steady-state model of an operating distillation process.
  • Evaluating column performance, tray loading, and potential capacity constraints.
  • Using CC-THERM to size plate-and-frame and shell-and-tube heat exchangers to match site specifications.
  • Identifying opportunities to reduce energy consumption within existing equipment.
