Double-effect distillation and thermal integration applied to the ethanol production process
Palacios-Bereche, Reynaldo; Ensinas, Adriano V.; … - In: Energy 82 (2015) C, pp. 512-523
A double-effect distillation system allows a significant reduction in energy consumption, since the condensers and reboilers of different columns can be integrated thermally. To achieve this goal, some columns operate under a vacuum, while others operate close to atmospheric pressure. These...
