Hi !

I am working on a Lube Oil Refinery, as a part of my final year Design Project. My project includes a Vacuum Distillation column. Please anyone can guide me the available resources from where i may learn about the technical aspects of designing and operation of a Vacuum Distillation Unit. Any book or article or related websites..

Thank you.

chem guy,

The best reference for distillation design is:

Distillation Design by Henry Z Kister, McGraw Hill Inc.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Ankur.

See attached chapter from R.Watkins' book, "Petroleum refinery distillation". I'd suggest you to obtain a hard copy of this excellent resource.

Also look for technical articles at:
