Abstract

High prices of oil and biofuels as well as tight environmental regulations on gas emissions have promoted theoretical and industrial developments in distillation; in particular, in complex distillation columns. The dividing wall distillation column (DWDC) has been adopted in industrial practice in order to achieve savings in both energy and cooling water requirements, reductions in green house gases emissions, and production and purification of biofuels. Simulation studies and practical implementations in the area of process control have shown that the control properties of DWDC are similar to those of conventional distillation columns. This work provides a discussion about the operational issues and a review of the practical applications of DWDC’s.
