Description
Summary:A classification method is proposed to classify dividing walls into 5 types. Each type<br />of dividing wall has its unique structural characteristics which impact its total vapor duty,<br />construction complexity and controllability. Based on this classification, a comprehensive guideline<br />to draw optimal dividing wall columns for any n-component distillation is provided.
