Abstract
Design of reformate fractionation process using a fully thermally coupled distillation is conducted with commercial design software Aspen HYSYS. Detailed procedure of the design is explained, and the performance of the process is compared with that of a conventional system. The design outcome indicates that the procedure is simple and efficient. The performance of the new process indicates that an energy saving of 12.2% is obtained compared with the conventional process while total number of trays maintains at the same.
