Articles #Vapour Compression for Propane-Propylene Splitters

Propane-Propylene (C3) splitters are used in Petrochemical industries to distill propylene from propane prior to export. C3 Splitter columns are traditionally operated with low pressure steam (LPS) passed to the column’s reboiler to heat up the C3 mixture thereby causing the splitting operation. However the use of Low Pressure steam is energy-demanding.
