To improve the exergetic efficiency of a distillation column, it can be designed as a heat integrated distillation column (HIDiC). In a HIDiC the vapour leaving the stripping section is compressed to the desired level and the rectification section is operated at a higher pressure and temperature. When the stripping section and rectification section are placed inside or besides each other, heat exchange is possible, causing condensation in the rectification section and evaporation in the stripping section. In an ideal HIDiC no condenser and reboiler are needed. Experiments were done with a plate-packing structured HIDiC and the performance of the PP-HIDiC was evaluated by comparing to predictive models.
