REACTIVE McCabe-Thiele: SHORT CUT METHOD INCLUDING REACTIVE VAPOR - LIQUID EFFICIENCY

 

R.A. Flores-Estrella, G.A. Iglesias-Silva

 

 

  • A reactive McCabe-Thiele method is developed for application to fully reactive column configuration under transformed composition (Ung and Doherty).

  • Reaction equilibrium and vapor-liquid equilibrium are assumed on all stages. A reactive Murphree vapor tray efficiency is proposed.

  • The results of the proposed method agree with those obtained using a rigorous method in commercial simulator (Aspen Plus - Radfrac module).
