Application Notes
Description : Methanol-Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA)-Water Separation System
Process Flow Diagram

Process Description
Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), water and methanol mixture is fed to first column and methanol with 99.5 % (wt) purity, is removed in this column. IPA-water azeotrope is drawn as bottom product. The typical feed composition is as follows

    IPA : 70-55 % (wt)
    Water : 10-15 % (wt)
    Methanol : 15-20% (wt)

Design basis : 90-95 % Recovery of methanol

Operating Conditions
Operating Pressure
Column is operating under atmospheric pressure
Column Internals :
