Energy Efficient Distillation Columns Design for Retrofit NGLs Fractionation Process

Distillation is the primary separation process widely used in the industrial chemical process. Although it has many advantages, the main drawback is its large energy requirement, which may significantly influence the overall plant profitability. However, the large energy requirement of these process...
