Abstract: | Ponchon-Savarit is a classical graphical method for the design of binary distillation columns. This method is still widely used, mainly with didactical purposes, though it is also valid for preliminary calculations. Nevertheless, no complete description has been found in books and situations such as different thermal feed conditions, multiple feeds, possibilities to extract by-products or to add or remove heat, are not always considered. In this work we provide, a systematic analysis of the Ponchon-Savarit method by developing generalized equations for the operating lines or difference points, as well as a consistent analysis of what may happen in the zone between two consecutive trays of the corresponding sectors separated by a lateral stream of feed, product, or a heat removal or addition. The graphical interpretation of all situations shown allows a clarifying view of the different possibilities in the rectifying column and completes the existing literature about this method. |
