Distillation Column Design & Simulation
Advanced Design and Simulation Tool for Chemical Engineers
Distillation Column Design & Simulation is a professional engineering application developed for chemical engineering students, researchers, and process engineers who need reliable distillation calculations for binary and multicomponent mixtures under continuous and batch operating modes.
The app combines design methods with practical simulation capabilities, enabling users to evaluate separation performance, operating conditions, and product specifications across a wide range of distillation problems.
🔹 Capabilities
The app supports structured distillation design workflows for:
• Continuous distillation design (binary and multicomponent)
• Batch distillation design (binary and multicomponent)
• Continuous distillation column simulation (binary and multicomponent)

Design features may include typical shortcut or rigorous analytical approaches used in separation-process education.
A dedicated simulation environment allows evaluation of distillation performance for:
✔ Up to 2 feed streams
✔ Up to 4 product streams
This structure is suitable for realistic separation scenarios where multiple feeds and product withdrawals are needed for process studies, case comparisons, or research-oriented modeling.

🔹 Engineering Units and Consistent Calculations
The app is built with professional unit support, allowing users to work in common engineering units while maintaining internally consistent calculations.
Supported categories typically include:
• Flowrate units (mol/s, kmol/h, lbmol/h)
• Temperature units (K, °C, °F)
• Pressure units (bar, atm, kPa, psi, mmHg, etc.)
• Energy / duty units (W, kW, BTU/h)

🔹 Designed For
• Chemical engineering students (undergraduate & graduate)
• Researchers working on separation processes
• Process engineers needing rapid evaluation tools
• Instructors and teaching assistants for distillation courses

🔹 Typical Use Cases
• Coursework and assignment verification
• Scenario comparison (effects of reflux, feed conditions, pressure, targets)
• Batch vs continuous performance studies
• Research-oriented modeling with flexible feed/product structure
• Quick engineering calculations without opening full-scale simulators

🔹 Professional Focus
This application is designed to be:
• Accurate and method-consistent
• Practical for engineering workflows
• Clear and structured for learning and research
• Useful for rapid parametric studies

Disclaimer
This app is intended for educational and engineering calculation purposes. Users should validate results against process requirements and, where needed, compare with rigorous simulation software and experimental or plant data.
