Establishment of a supercritical pilot plant and the hydrodynamics of supercritical countercurrent columns
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Supercritical fluids are enjoying ever increasing popularity as a solvent medium for extraction,
stripping and absorption processes. Being readily tuneable and able to achieve sharp, highly
efficient ...
Establishing a facility to measure packed column hydrodynamics
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Distillation continues to be the most widely used method of separation in the processing
industry, in spite of its inherently low thermodynamic efficiency. Two of the critical
distillation research needs ...
Hydrodynamic evaluation of the effects of fluid physical properties and sieve tray geometry on entrainment and weeping
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Distillation is one of the most widely used processes for the separation of fluids with different
volatilities. Due to the popularity of this process it is often assumed that the hydrodynamic
behaviour ...
