Abstract

The intent of this chapter is to provide a detailed summary of publicly disclosed dividing wall columns (DWCs) within the chemical industry. The chapter will initially provide a brief overview of the basic types of DWCs and intensified DWCs. Then it will move into a more detailed description of the industrial practitioners and providers of DWC technology within the chemical industry. The ultimate goal of this chapter is to encourage others to begin evaluating and eventually implementing this energy and capital-saving technology.
