Rectification With Direct Steam Injection

Direct steam injection rectification involves injecting steam directly into the liquid in the tower bottom. This simplifies the construction by eliminating the need for a separate reboiler exchanger. It is used when distilling an aqueous solution containing a more volatile component and water. The main advantage is a simpler heater design that uses a sparger to inject the steam as small bubbles.

RECTIFICATION WITH DIRECT STEAM INJECTION

➢ The steam is injected as small bubbles into the liquid in the tower bottom.
➢ The reboiler exchanger is not needed.
➢ Used when an aqueous solution of more volatile component and water is being distilled
➢ The advantage of open steam lies in simpler construction of heater, which is a sparger.

TMB: F + S = D + B

CMB: FXF = DXD + B XB
F, XF

For Stripping Line Equation:


S
TMB : Lm + S = Vm+1 + B

CMB: Lm Xm + S(0) = Vm+1ym+1 + BXB

REARRANGING: B, XB

ym+1 = 𝑋𝑚 −

For Saturated Steam Entering:

S = Vm+1 ; Lm = B

Therefore: ym+1 = 𝑋𝑚 −
