OPTIMIZATION OF PRESSURE-SWING DISTILLATION FOR ANHYDROUS ETHANOL PURIFICATION BY THE SIMULATED ANNEALING ALGORITHM
ABSTRACT The present study addresses the novel application of the simulated annealing algorithm (SAA) to optimize the pressure-swing distillation (PSD) process for anhydrous ethanol purification. Three different softwares (Aspen Plus®, Excel® and Matlab®) were integrated to simultaneously optimize seven design and operational variables. The configuration with the best TAC represented a 40.2% saving per year in comparison to the non-optimized PSD. Such reduction was achieved by using the higher acceptance probability and the slower temperature decrement. This saving is mainly related to operational cost reductions, a fact that evidences the viability of using the herein described optimization methodology to improve the PSD design.
