Understanding Distillation Towers: Types, Operations, and Key Components like Reboiler and Condenser
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...
