I have Distillation column running at certain design capacity, also I have working PROII model at the same capacity. Now I would like to expand its feed by 30%, so I simulate my model increasing feed by 30% more and adjusted the product draw with additional 30% range.
My question which factor will indicate whether this column has enough capacity to process new feed rate? What other column internal information required to compare? I heard about flooding factor, C Factor etc. but how to know the existing vs, new using PROII.
