I'm doing a project the modeling, simulation and design of a vacuum distillation unit.
I know little about vacuum distillation and would appreciate detailed information.
thanks

Hello Tolutola,

I do not want to discourage you, but it looks like it is going to be a very tough job. Without strong background in vacuum distillation services, feed characterization issues and some practical concerns related to operation of VDU plants, it is almost impossible to perform correct modeling and design of such (and every other) unit.

For the beginning, I suggest you to find more information at:

and also check for specific details in ChE literature that has been written by Nelson, Kister, Watson, Kaes etc.

Regards,
