Abstract
It has been estimated that there are more than 40,000 distillation columns in operation in the refining and petrochemical industries in the U.S. (Humphrey et. al., 1991) which accounts for 95% of all separation process in these industries. It is further estimated that distillation consumes approximately 3% of the total U.S. energy consumption. More importantly, distillation operations almost exclusively are responsible for the purity and uniformity of the products for the petrochemical industry.
