It's only a one page memo and I can handle it, but I'm not sure how to get specifications for the tower. I tried to solve for the terminal flows but I am stuck on how to find the reflux ratio and the other
I will need to have the specifications for the tower as listed in the memo that I sent. Also a plots that are listed in the memo. Is that seems okay to you?
I've sent you the full memos. So, in memo 1, we are given the constraints to make a base case distillation tower (all data can be found there). I was tasked to figure out all the specifications of the distillation tower such as the terminal stream, reflux ratio, reboiler and condenser heat duty and etc. as shown in memo 2. I would like to have you determine all the parameters in memo 2 and tell me what parameters are the most sensitive, so I can tweaked that parameters to optimize the distillation tower.
So the first one is memo 1 that tell us that we want distillation tower with that constraint listed, but we don't know about the terminal streams and others specifications. Don't worry about the economic analysis on first part. I'll figure that out. On 2nd page is the 2nd memo, which listed all the specifications that needs to be determined. Don't worry about the installed capital cost, I will do that one. I'd like you to figure out the other specification of the distillation tower, such as terminal streams, reflux ratio, etc. For the tray type and material, you just need to choose the most efficient one, or probably I can look that one up. That are the only things that I want you to figure out. I'll take care of the 3rd and last page of the memo.
