Abstract

In this article we described the use of an educational simulator for a multicomponent distillation process with process control. This tool was shown to be flexible, allowing students to study the dynamic behavior of the tower and its control, and to explore the possibility for the design of this kind of equipment on their courses. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
