Assigning operating pressure for distillation column
Title
Question
Good day Sir/Mam

I am a chemical engineering student from South Africa. I watched the shortcut and rigorous distillation tutorial which were extremely helpful for my project. However I wanted to ask how do you assign operating pressure for distillation column ?. I have to design a pressure swing distillation system, where the first column operates at a low pressure and the second column operates at a higher pressure to separate azeotropic mixture. How can I change the operating pressures of both columns?

Your assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

But primarily it is decided to a value that can enable the use of cheapest cooling media in condensor and/or heating media in reboiler (trade off between two is considered to achieve minimum utility cost).</span>
