    The document discusses designing a distillation column to separate a refrigerant gas mixture and produce 1000 lb/day of R134a at 99% purity. The feed contains R32, R125, and R134a. Cooling water and low pressure steam are available utilities. The design must select an operating pressure and determine column specifications, condenser, reboiler, and nozzle locations.

    Objective:

    Design a complete distillation to separate refrigerant gases (mixture of R32, R125 and R134a).
    The purity of R134a must be 99% or more. The main product is R134a.

    Feed Composition & Flow Rate:

    R32 = 0.25 = 25%

    R125 = 0.25 = 25%

    R134a = 0.5 = 50%

    Feed Flow Rate is unknow. But it is known we need 1000 lb/day of R134a with purity of 99%.
    You can select any pressure or temperature of feed and design system.

    Utilities Available:

    Cooling Water & LP Steam

    General Discussion:

    If we are designing system of high pressure them, we can use above utilities, but column
    height/packing height/trays will be more. If we go with low pressure system, then column
    height/packing height/trays will be reducing but utilities cost will be more we need refrigerant
    for cooling purpose in condenser. As we know, the relationship between pressure and relative
    volatility is inverse and no doubt number of trays or packing height also depend upon reflux ratio
    but up to certain value of reflux as well as we need to use optimum reflux ratio.

    We need to design

    1) Distillation column pressure design & mechanical design.


    2) Distillation column condenser and reflux vessel.
    3) Distillation column reboiler.
    4) Location of nozzles on column.
