PENENTUAN RASIO REFLUKS OPTIMUM BERDASARKAN KONDISI UMPAN YANG DIGUNAKAN PADA KOLOM DISTILASI

Harmiwati NH, Randi Sonata Weri

Abstract

Calculation of reflux ratio based on flow rate and feed conditions can theoretically determine the optimum reflux ratio used during the distillation process in Section 107. Using the optimum reflux ratio will help the distillation process run well and efficiently. Based on the description of the background above, this study aims to determine the optimum reflux ratio based on the condition of the feed used in distillation. Based on research conducted at PT Ecogreen Oleochemicals Batam, it can be concluded that the reflux ratio is influenced by the feed flow rate, and the composition of the feed on the distillation apparatus. By using feed flow rate data on the 18th, d. September 22, 2018 is calculated so that the optimum value of reflux ratio is 1.3027, 1.3426, 1.4685, 1.3084, and 1.334.
