(62f) Trace Contaminant Control in High Purity Distillation Processes
AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress on Process Safety
2013
2013 Spring Meeting & 9th Global Congress on Process Safety
Kister Distillation Symposium 2013
Improved Design and Operation in Chemicals Distillation
Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - 10:50am to 11:20am
Control of trace contaminants is a common problem in most processes to one degree or another. Contamination issues affect not only product quality but often can affect functionality as well as health and safety. System design, assembly and construction, component and equipment selection, sealing methods, cleaning, operating parameters, control strategies and materials of construction can all affect contribution or reduction of trace contaminants to the distillation process. Strategies and procedures will be presented for trace contaminant control in distillation systems.
