Fundamentals of Distillation Design & Synthesis

Learn from Domain Experts!

 

Expert training combining deep domain knowledge with hands-on relief device sizing application



AspenTech is excited to offer a brand-new training that combines Distillation domain practice with application of AspenTech solutions. Jointly delivered by domain and Aspen PLUS experts, students will learn practical steps to synthesize the best separation sequences that achieve desired separation tasks, how to simulate complex features in distillation processes, including azeotropic, three-phase, and reactive distillation as well as columns with features such as pumparounds, side draws, multiple condensers, etc. Use Aspen Plus to troubleshoot distillation column models, enhance convergence, and evaluate model quality. Attendees will gain additional insights into the process industry and get hands-on experience using AspenTech tools to solve real world problems.

Audience:

Engineers with some experience simulating distillation processes who wish to improve their ability to simulate more difficult distillation processes
