Energy conservation: a route to improved distillation profitability. Executive briefing report, technology transfer

The savings potential of energy-conservation measures applied to distillation is examined. The document catalogs all of the various energy-conservation options applicable to distillation; categorizes the options by investment required; and describes in detail the options having a significant potential to reduce distillation energy requirements economically. A technology applications manual designed to assist distillation process engineers who will perform technical and economic analyses to determine the conservation measures most suitable for their particular plant is also available (DOE/CS/4431-T2)
