In this 43–page eBook, Béla Lipták, control and safety consultant and editor of the Instrument Engineer’s Handbook, describes the state of the art for controlling and optimizing the distillation process. The thermal energy requirements of distillation are enormous, and it follows that the savings potential from implementing better control and optimization of the distillation process are substantial. Béla Lipták states, "My main reason for writing this eBook is to show how these increases in efficiency and savings can be accomplished."
