This unit procedure simulates fractionation of volatile components in a distillation column using a rigorous distillation model.
● Distillate (as Vapor): the designated output port for vapor distillate.
● Distillate (as Liquid): the designated output port for liquid distillate.
● Bottoms: the designated output port for the bottoms.
The following operation types are currently supported in the context of this unit procedure:
● Distill, see Continuous Distillation (Rigorous)
● Hold, see Holding
Note that operation Hold is only available in semi-continuous operating mode.
The following procedures offer a similar functionality:
● Batch Distillation Procedure
● Continuous (Short-Cut) Distillation Procedure
