EBOOK - Distillation Troubleshooting (Henry Z. Kister) - 749 Trang.

The last half - century has seen tremendous progress in distillation technology. The introduction of high - speed computers revolutionized the design, control, and peration of distillation towers. Invention and innovation in tower internals enhanced tower capacity and efficiency beyond previously conceived limits.
Gamma scans and laser-guided pyrometers have provided troubleshooters with tools of which, not-solong-ago, they would only dream. With all these advances, one would expect the failure rate in distillation towers to be on the decline, maybe heading towards extinction as we enter the 21 st century. Our recent survey of  distillation failures (255) brought disappointing news: Distillation failures are not on the path to extinction.
Instead, the tower failure rate is on the rise and accelerating. Our survey further  showed that the rise is not because distillation is moving into new, unchartered frontiers. By far, the bulk of  the failures have been repetitions of previous ones. In some cases, the literature describes 10-20 repetitions of the same failure. And for every case that is reported, there are tens, maybe hundreds, that are not.
