Hay all,

Am in the process of designing a distillation column as part of my course and have been instructed to product a full P&ID with control scheme.

The column itself is fitted with a partial reboiler and partial condenser, with the three products being off-gas, 'wild' naphtha, and the desired diesel product. The column is designed to produce USL spec Diesel following a hydrodesulphurisation process.

Can anyone suggest sources of information on both
- Designing a control scheme
- Putting together a full P&ID with full details of startup, shutdown and control
With advice please!

Thanks

Henry

Henry:

The best source for learning how to control a distillation column is one of Greg Shinskey's books. I think one of them is "Distillation Controls". You cannot go wrong with spending some effort on Greg Shinskey's description of how the controls work and why. He supplies detailed P&ID sketches as well as a narrative on each of his control circuits.

Look Greg up on the Web and buy his book or rent it from your technical library. You can't go wrong.
