| Operation | Traditional | New Approach | Benefit | |-----------|-------------|--------------|---------| | Distillation | Tray or packed column | Rotating packed bed (Higee) + heat-integrated distillation column (HIDiC) | Height reduction by 10x, lower reflux ratio | | Absorption | Spray tower | Membrane contactor with ILs (ionic liquids) | No flooding, higher selectivity for CO₂ capture | | Adsorption | Fixed bed | Simulated moving bed (SMB) with AI cycle timing | Continuous operation, higher purity | | Extraction | Mixer-settler | Microchannel extractor + acoustic field separation | Millisecond extraction, no emulsion |
These operations involve the transfer of thermal energy. unit operation process new
: Techniques used to separate components of a mixture based on their physical properties, including: Distillation : Separating liquids based on boiling point differences. Absorption/Adsorption | Operation | Traditional | New Approach |
Separating components through methods like Distillation , Absorption , or Extraction . Thermodynamic Processes: Refrigeration or gas liquefaction. Thermodynamic Processes: Refrigeration or gas liquefaction
Solution: Implement AR-assisted maintenance and digital twin-based operator training simulators. Up-skill process engineers in data science fundamentals.
