Exergy analysis of a parallel double-effect organosilicon monomer distillation scheme

▸ A parallel double-effect organosilicon monomer distillation scheme is proposed. ▸ Process simulation is employed to design new scheme. ▸ The x-y diagrams of three groups of key components is used to confirm the feasibility. ▸ The heat integrated scheme presents 40.41% less exergy loss than the normal scheme. ▸ A sensitivity analysis is done to improve the operation parameters.
