Ethanol-Water Distillation Column Design

This document outlines the process design specification for a continuous distillation column intended to separate ethanol from water at GreenFuel BioRefinery. Key details include a feed composition of 20 mol% ethanol, a required purity of 95 mol%, and operational parameters such as a feed rate of 10,000 kg/hr and an operating pressure of 1.2 atm. Safety considerations include the installation of LEL monitors and pressure relief valves.
