Overview

• Introduction• UO course overview• Equilibrium Stage separations• What are “Unit Operations”Why are separations important in an industrial facility?Feedstocks are generally mixtures that are not particularly useful…so industrial facility (plant) is used to “add value” to the raw materials:Example: (average USA prices on 28 Aug 2012)
Crude oil ~$96/bbl (0.60 $/liter; 0.48 euro/liter)gasoline ~$3.78/gal (1.00 $/liter; 0.80 euro/liter)
Example: (average USA prices on 5 April 2010) Crude oil ~$86/bbl (0.54 $/liter; 0.40 euro/liter)gasoline ~$3.25/gal (0.86 $/liter; 0.64 euro/liter)

Industrial Chemical Facility
11
Typical chemical facility might have 40 – 90% of costs invested in separations.

Equilibrium Stage Separations
13
We could also consider some examples that are non-equilibrium systems; such as membrane and adsorption processes.

Separations as Unit Operations

Unit Operation
16
What is a “Unit Operation”?• while the chemicals being separated might be different, the
specific technique used has generally the same design methods
• i.e. a distillation column separating ethanol from water is designed in the same general manner as a distillation column separating toluene from xylene.
• Examples of techniques generally called unit operations include:• Distillation• Absorption• Liquid-liquid extraction• Heat exchanger• Etc…

Choosing a Unit Operation
17
How does one choose a UO? i.e. ethanol from water separation
• Distillation• Adsorption• Crystallization• L-L extraction• Pervaporation• Absorption

Today’s Process Engineering
25
Today, most of major unit operations are built into a process simulator and used extensively within the industry. For example:- Simulators: AspenPlus, Fluent, Comsol, ChemSep, others.
