Distillation Process The process of distillation begins with heating a liquid to boiling point. The liquid evaporates, forming a vapor. The vapor is then cooled, usually by passing it through pipes or tubes at a lower temperature. The cooled vapor then condenses, forming a distillate.

How do you control a distillation column?
Traditional Control. The traditional approach to dual composition control of continuous distillation is simply to control the overhead temperature with reflux flow and control the bottom temperature with heat (usually steam) to the reboiler.
What are different types of distillation?
The most commonly used techniques are simple distillation, fractional distillation, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. In simple distillation process, a volatile compound is evaporated and channeled through a distillation column into a condenser, where it is eventually captured.
What are distillation columns?
A distillation column is a tube that provides surfaces on which condensations and vaporizations can occur before the gas enters the condenser in order to concentrate the more volatile liquid in the first fractions and the less volatile components in the later fractions.
What are the types of trays in distillation column?
There are five major types of tray column; bubble cap tray, sieve deck tray, dual flow tray, valve tray and baffle tray.
What are the three sections in distillation column?
The feed tray divides the column into a top (enriching, rectification) section and a bottom (stripping) section. The feed flows down the column where it is collected at the bottom in the reboiler.
How many sections are there in distillation column?
3 sections

What are the parts of distillation?
The apparatus used consists of three major parts: distillation flask (or pot ) to heat the mixture and volatilize the components, a condenser to cool the vapors back to liquid state, and a collection vessel.
