A model developed originally for crude oil distillation units has been applied to a standalone internally heat integrated distillation column (HIDiC) to evaluate emissions levels and to generate design options for direct carbon dioxide emissions reduction. Simulations indicate that for...

Huge quantities of energy are required in distillation columns used for polymer grade separations of close boiling mixtures. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an industrially viable, internally heat integrated (HIDiC) version of a state of the art propylene-propane splitter. The base...
