In this paper, a parallel double-effect or heat integrated organosilicon monomer distillation scheme is simulatively proposed with the aid of computer simulation to research the effect of heat integration on exergy loss of distillation process. The x–y diagrams of three groups of key...

In our previous work, a significant improvement in organosilicon monomer distillation using parallel double-effect heat integration between a heavies removal column and six other columns, as well as heat integration between methyltrichlorosilane and dimethylchlorosilane columns, reduced the...

In the present paper, a five-column heat integrated methanol distillation scheme is proposed with the aid of process simulation and pinch analysis. Unlike the popular four-column (or 3 + 1 column) scheme, a medium-pressure column is added after the light ends column in this novel scheme. The...
