    The process engineer calculated the height of the packing material in the competitor's column based on information provided. Using equations for equilibrium, operating lines, and number of transfer units (NTUs), the engineer calculated the overall NTU as 9.77. With the given vapor density and overall mass transfer coefficient, the engineer determined the overall height of transfer units (HTU) was 0.528 m. Multiplying the overall NTU by the overall HTU gave a calculated packing height of 5.16 m.

    Binary distillation in packed column
    A process engineer visiting a company of a competitor was told that a packed column (inner
    diameter 0.5m) is used to separate a binary liquid mixture. During his visit he also saw that the
    column was running with a reux ratio of R = 1.5. The manufacturer of the packing material X
    provides the following HTU-diagram:
    Figure 1: HTU-diagram of packing material X
    From scientic publications the equilibrium curve of the binary liquid mixture is available:
    y

    = x
    2
    + 2x (1)
    also the vapor density of the mixture is known:
    v
    = 4.1kg/m

    In a yer, provided by the company, the following information are printed:
    concentration in the product stream: x
    1,D
    = 0.82
    concentration in the bottom stream: x
    1,B
    = 0.03
    product stream: F = 77 kg/h
    feed concentration: x
    F
    = 0.4
    With these information, the process engineer is able to calculate the height of the packing material
    in the column of the competitor. Which height did he get?
