More Information
Summary:A distillation system for separating components fluid feed includes a stripper and a rectifier. The stripper includes an inlet to receive a feed of fluid a compressor in fluid communication with a more volatile portion of the fluid within the stripper to provide an output feed, and a reboiler in fluid communication with a less volatile portion of fluid within the stripper. The rectifier receives the output feed and includes a condenser in fluid communication with a more volatile portion of the output feed from the compressor, the condenser including an exit to remove at least one component from the more volatile portion of the output feed, and an outlet to recycle a less volatile portion of the output feed back to the stripper. Heat pipes transfer thermal energy from the rectifier to the stripper.
