QUESTION 1 [48 MARKS 1. Name two types of distillation columns and list their advantages and disadvantages. (10) 2. Between the two columns, when should each be used? (10) 3. List 8 practical steps adopted in designing a distillation column. (8) 4. Consider the distillation column below and assume a simple binary mixture separation. Perform a material balance in the case where the column has one feed, two products, one reboiler and one condenser. Assume no heat mixing and the component molar latent heats of vaporization to be the same.

A typical distillation column QUESTION 2 [50 MARKS] 1. As an engineer, you have been tasked in determining the capital costs of a new Ultrafiltration membrane water treatment design. Briefly detail how you would go about it. Explain/motivate your reasons. (30) 2. A vacuum pump is to be installed as part of your new Ultrafiltration membrane project. The power required from the pump is estimated around 10.5KW. The material of construction is low grade carbon steel with a minimum pressure of 0.2 bar.
