“…Finally, as demonstrated by several authors, Brousse et al (1985), Meili and Stuecheli (1987), Ferre et al (1985) and, in particular, Collura and Luyben (1988), who extensively studied ethanol production as fuel-grade, the vapour compression scheme is only recommended for binary systems, where separation is di$cult (low relative volatility). Canales and MaH rquez (1992), who designed and built a laboratory vapour recompression water}ethanol distillation column, reported a remarkable result with a reduction in energy consumption ranging from 45 to 56 per cent, as compared to conventional distillation.…”

SUMMARYThis paper presents a simulation study of an ethanol}water distillation column with vapour recompression. The compression of the overhead vapour from the distillation column and the use of condensing vapours to reboil the bottom products were modelled. Predicted results were compared with those from a simulation model for an ethanol}water distillation column assisted by an external heat pump, as previously developed by the authors.

“…Like this work, nearly all publications in this field are based on modelling and simulation (Brousse et al, 1985;Ferre et al, 1985;Collura and Luyben, 1988;Muhrer et al, 1990;Oliveira et al 2001). The mathematical modeling of the distillation system is derived by applying energy, composition and overall material balances together with vapour-liquid equilibrium under some assumptions (see Muhrer et al, 1990 andEnweremadu, 2007).…”

Vapor recompression for efficient distillation. 1. A new synthesis perspective on standard configurations

The vapor recompression (VRC) distillation scheme is examined and compared with conventional distillation in an analysis spanning fundamental thermodynamics, high-level calculations, and rigorous simulation. The purpose of this article is three-fold: first, it provides greater insight into VRC distillation. Second, it provides a process synthesis tool to rapidly assess whether VRC is likely to be more thermodynamically favorable than conventional distillation for a given split. Third, it may be used to determine if VRC can be implemented practically. The tool presented in the article is consolidated in the form of a single chart, for which only the top and bottom product temperatures are required to determine the outcome. Using this chart, first-pass estimates can be obtained with no calculations whatsoever. The tool, which appears to be the first of its kind in this context, is validated with examples and rigorous simulation.
