Are you ready to explore cutting-edge advancements in distillation? Join our Advanced Distillation Technologies Course and gain insights into energy-efficient separation processes. This course, co-organised by ISPT and NPT, is tailored for EngD and PhD students, postdocs, and industry engineers, focusing on practical solutions that deliver significant energy and cost savings while enabling a sustainable process industry.
Distillation, a cornerstone of industrial separations, is undergoing a transformation. Process intensification techniques such as heat pump-assisted distillation, dividing wall column distillation, and reactive distillation allow:
- Up to 80% energy savings, outperforming alternative methods.
- Integration with green electricity, making operations more sustainable.
- Cost reductions in both CapEx and OpEx for binary and multi-component separations.
With the industry striving for CO₂ neutrality by 2050, these advancements offer actionable pathways for achieving sustainability goals.
