  • Efficient Distillation Columns Require Accurate DP Measurements

    The distillation process is used in many industries to separate mixtures into components. It is defined as : …a process in which a liquid or vapour mixture of two or more substances is separated into its component fractions of desired purity, by the application and removal of heat. Emerson’s Daniel Lucey has written an Intech article, Improving distillation tower operation . In it, he discusses the importance…
