Simulation of Citronellal Extraction Tower Based on Aspen Plus Software

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aspen Plus is a simulation system of large-scale generalized flowsheet. It is to describe the chemical process by using a digital model, and to obtain the desired results on the computer by changing various effective conditions. The main component with higher value in citronella oil is high purity citronellal. Due to its boiling point, temperature-sensitive and other issues, the difficulty of distillation process increases. This paper conducts process design and simulation on citronella oil high vacuum distillation process by using Aspen Plus software, obtains the process parameters of citronellal extraction tower, explores the relationship between reflux ratio and the number of theoretical plates, and provides data support for the continuous production of citronellal in citronella oil system.
