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.
