Distillation in specialty and fine chemical processes often involves non-ideal thermodynamics, custom components, and evolving operating conditions. Rigid simulation tools and spreadsheet-based methods can limit insight and slow decision-making.
This technical guide explores how CHEMCAD enables flexible, engineering-grade distillation modeling—from shortcut methods to fully rigorous simulations—within a single environment. Learn how chemical engineers use CHEMCAD to evaluate tray and packing performance, analyze energy usage, and test design alternatives while accommodating unique chemistries and specialty workflows. All results are generated through process simulation to support informed engineering judgment and design decisions.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to model non-ideal and specialty chemical distillation systems
- When to apply shortcut vs. rigorous methods for efficient analysis
- How flexible workflows support custom components and thermodynamics
- Ways to evaluate energy use and separation performance virtually
- How CHEMCAD supports confident design decisions in complex processes
