Understanding Distillation Towers: Types, Operations, Reboiler and Condenser In this blog we will l earn about the different types of distillation towers, including binary and multi-draw towers, their operations, and the essential components like reboilers and condensers used in various industrial processes. Distillation towers are designed in a variety of ways to meet the demands of particular applications. A distillation tower or column can be categorized by the number of products that leave the tower.   Two common types of towers that are identified this way are binary towers and multi-draw towers.   A binary tower separates a feed into two products. For this reason you may also hear a binary tower referred to as a two-product tower. Some binary towers separate one light component from a range of heavier components, but they are still considered to be binary towers because only two products leave the tower.   Multi-draw towers separate a feed into more than two p...

  Plants like this one spend millions of dollars every year to produce marketable, usable products. And just about all of these products will at some stage go through a process called distillation.   It's a process based on the simple principle that different substances can be separated by their respective boiling points.   In practice, however, this separation process can become quite complex as many different variables enter the picture.   In this blog, we'll go through the basic principles of distillation and then focus on what you, the operator, can do to make the operation work more safely and efficiently.   But let's start with the basics. The properties of various substances are determined to a large extent by the size and structure of their molecules. In distillation, the property we're most concerned with is boiling temperature. Substances composed of large heavy molecules tend to boil at high temperatures, while smaller, lighter compounds hav...
