1 Optimisation of Heat-integrated Distillation Schemes Based on Shortcut Analysis, Pinch Analysis and Rigorous Simulation Mansour Emtir* and Mansour Khalifa Libyan Petroleum Institute, P.O. Box 6431 Tripoli, Libya * Abstract Conventional and non-conventional distillation schemes for the separation of ternary mixture are investigated and optimized based on shortcut calculations, pinch analysis and rigorous simulation in order to achieve the highest saving values in energy and total annual cost (TAC) as the optimization objective function. The studied chemical system is benzene, toluene and m-xylene with feed composition of (25/50/25) and 99.9 mol % product purity. The optimization parameters are feed compositions. The state of feed condition is considered as the optimization parameters; feed at 20 C, liquid at bubble point and vapor at dew point. The results from shortcut and pinch analysis are found to be very close to rigorous simulation results regarding number of stages, reflux ratios and utilizing trim reboiler or trim condenser in studied distillation schemes. Both shortcut and rigorous optimization results indicate that heat-integrated schemes are consuming less energy compared to nonintegrated distillation schemes, consequently TACs of heat-integrated schemes are attractive compared to non-integrated schemes. The state of feed conditions is playing imprtant role on the percentage of saving and direction of integration. Introduction Distillation units are the most widely used technique for the separation of fluid mixtures in chemical and petrochemical industry. It is known that distillation is used for the separation of about 95% of all fluid separations in the chemical industry, and that around 3% of the total energy consumption in the world is used in distillation units (Hewitt et al 1999). The main disadvantage of the distillation is its high-energy requirement. As a result, new distillation sequences are emerging in order to reduce or improve the use of energy so that, there are several techniques which used to overcome this problem like integration of the distillation column with the overall processes which can give significant energy saving, e.g. Smith and Linnhoff (1988), Mizsey and Fonyo (1990), but these kinds of improvements can be limited. There are different configurations or distillation schemes that can be applied to get more energy saving, like integration of distillation columns with forward or backward heat integration, side-stripper, side-rectifier, fully thermally coupled distillation column (Petlyuk column) or dividing-wall column, heat-integrated of sloppy sequence, and double heat integration sequence. Energy-integrated distillation schemes give a great promise of energy savings up to about 70%. In addition to saving energy, which are accompanied by reduced environmental impact and site utility costs; there is also a possibility for reduction in capital costs. Theoretical studies, e.g. Petlyuk et al. (1965), Stupin and Lockhart (1972), Fonyo et al. (1974), Stichlmair and Stemmer (1989), Annakou and Mizsey (1996), Dunnebier and Pantelides (1999), Emtir et al. (2001), Kolbe and Wenzel (2004) have shown that the column coupling configurations are capable of achieving typically % of energy
2 savings compared with the best conventional scheme. In addition, the coupling configuration can also be achieved with the so-called dividing-wall column (Kaibel 1987). By this arrangement, reduction in capital cost can be expected through the elimination of the prefractionator column shell (but not the column internals). Emtir et al. (2003) compared five different energy integrated schemes, among them the forward and backward integrated prefractionator arrangement, with a non-integrated direct split sequence. The study compared the total annual costs (TAC) and the controllability of the different schemes. In terms of TAC they found that the backward integrated direct split configuration has the maximum savings of 37%. The integrated prefractionator arrangements have similar savings of 34% for the forward-integrated case and 33% for the backward-integrated case. Skogestad et al (2005) had studied four pressure-staged distillation columns to see if multi-effect integration can be applied to any two columns in the sequence based on shortcut equations and Vmin-diagrams have been used for screening purposes to find the columns with the highest potential for energy savings. The results showed that when considering the existing number of stages available the ISF arrangement was the best, however when considering infinite number of stages the PF arrangement was the best. The scope of this work This study is devoted towards separation of benzene/toluene/m-xylene (BTX) ternary mixture by continuous distillation at high product purity of 99.9 mol %. The feed composition to be separated consists of (25/50/25) mixture at atmospheric pressure and total flow rate of 100 kgmol/hr. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of changing feed conditions on the saving potential of the heat-integrated distillation schemes. The tools which are implemented on the study to investigate the feasibility of energy and TAC savings are shortcut methods based on minimum vapour flow rate at infinite number of stages using shortcut equations, pinch analysis and rigorous simulation by utilizing HYSYS simulation for rigorous modelling with the following assumptions: UNIQUAC thermodynamic model is used, pressure drop across distillation columns is taken 5 Kpa, pumping is not considered in cost calculations, maximum internal flows are at 75% -80% of the flooding, and exchange minimum approach temperature (EMAT) = 10 C. In this study the total cost for each configuration is assumed to be the sum of utility costs (steam and cooling water) and equipment costs (purchase and installation). Detailed utility cost data are extracted from Emtir et al. (2001). Studied distillation schemes Throughout this work A, B, and C denote the light, intermediate, and heavy components, respectively. The impurities are symmetrically distributed in the middle product stream. The studied distillation configuration are showing below: Figure 1; direct sequence without heat integration (DQ), direct sequence with forward heat integration (DQF), direct with backward heat integration (DQB), Figure 2; indirect sequence without heat integration (IQ), indirect sequence with forward heat integration (IQF), indirect with backward heat integration (IQB).
3 DQ DQF DQB Figure 1. direct sequence with possible heat integration IQ IQF IQB Figure 2. Indirect sequences with possible heat integration Rigorous simulation and optimization The investigated schemes are simulated rigorously by HYSYS and design parameters are exported to Microsoft Excel where the final cost calculations for optimization are executed. Moreover, detailed column and heat exchanger costing are calculated using the default column and heat exchanger sizing. The sizing of distillation columns and heat transfer equipments requires the determination of flow rates, temperatures, pressures, and heat duties from the flow sheet of mass and energy balance, and these quantities can then be used to determine the capacities needed for the cost correlation. In addition, the concept of material pressure factor (MPF) is used to evaluate particular instances of equipment beyond a basic configuration. This concept is an empirical factor developed by Biegler et al (1997) as part of the costing process. For each column system, the pressure, number of trays and feed location are considered as the optimization variables and they are manipulated until the optimal design is found. Optimization variables can be more in case of additional feeds, draws or recycle streams are present. In every run, design parameters (optimization variables) are changed, specifications and optimality are checked. The process simulations are stopped when the global optimal system design is achieved. Shortcut analysis In this work, minimum vapour loads are estimated based on shortcut method for conventional and heat-integrated distillation schemes at two different feed conditions, saturated liquid and saturated vapor. Underwood equations are used to find out minimum reflux ratio where reflux ratio was as set 1.1 times minimum reflux ratio, Fenske equations for minimum number of stages, Gilliland equqtion for theoretical number of stages and Kirkbride equation for feed stage location. FORTRAN program is written to solve all
4 shortcut equations where the input data are feed, top and bottom flow rates and their compositions. The effect of pressure is taken into account for calculating average relative volatility of top and bottom streams for integrated and non-integrated configurations. The minimum vapor flow rate in every separation section can be calculated using For saturated liquid feed, the vapor flow at the top is equal the vapour flow in the bottom but in saturated vapour feed vapour flow in the top is given as Where q is zero for saturated vapour. The formulas listed in Table 1 have been used to determine the total minimum vapor flow rates of integrated and non-integrated distillation schemes. Table 1. Total minimum vapor rates for integrated and non-integrated schemes Direct and indirect sequences without heat integration Prefractionator without heat integration Direct with forward and backward Prefractionator with forward and backward Results and discussion The shortcut results are summarized in Tables 2 & 3 for feeds at saturated liquid and saturated vapor conditions.

The higher savings in minimum vapor load for heat-integrated cases at satured liquid feed is attributed to the energy added inside the system are utilized effecintly by recycling the heat between the integrated columns.

It is obvious from pinch analysis that trim condenser is needed in case of DQB, steam temertaure level can be decided also. Figure 3. Composite curve for DQB case

Matching between hot and cold streams Rrigorous optimization results are showing similar trend in case of savings in both energy and TAC. DQB shows maximum saving values of % in energy with 25.4 % of TAC saving. IQ, IQF and IQB integrated schemes indicates inferior savings in both of energy and TAC which is attributed to the wide gap in temperatures between heat source and heat sink and use of high pressure steam in distillation system. Energy saving% TAC saving% sat.vapor sat.liquid liquid state Figure 5. Effect of feed conditions on DQB distillation scheme Considering the effect of different feed conditions on DQB savings in energy and TAC are shown in Figure 5 and the results can be summarized as follows:
7 Direct sequence with backward heat integration gives maximum saving values % in energy, and in addition to 25.4 % of TAC saving with respect to direct sequence without heat integration. IQB distillation scheme are showing the highest energy saving of % but lower values in TAC saving (not shown). Conclusions The state of feed conditions plays important role on the ranking and evaluation of distillation schemes from heat integration point of view. DQB heat-integrated scheme is showing higher energy saving for feed entering at liquid state, this due to the recycling of heat added in the system to change the phase of the feed inside the distillation scheme, where as in case of feed entering at vapor phase the recycled heat between the columns is reduced which will effect the saving of the heat-integrated scheme directly. In some case although the saving in energy is high, but due to increasing in preussures of the integrated columns which will lead to utilization of high pressure steam causing its TAC saving to drop down. Shortcut and pinch analysis methods gives priliminary indication regarding energy saving in distillation schemes, rigourous simulation and TAC saving comparison is showing the most rigourous method of selection between heat-integrated schemes.
