Aspen Hysys Reboiler Configuration

This document discusses different configurations for reboilers in Aspen Hysys simulations including once through reboiler, reboiler circulation without a baffle, and reboiler circulation with a baffle. The once through configuration uses a kettle reboiler where liquid passes through the reboiler once before returning to the column. Without a baffle, the liquid and reboiler feed share the same composition from the sump. With a baffle, the sump is divided to separate the compositions of the reboiler feed and bottoms stream.

Reboiler
Configuration

Once through
Reboiler

This configuration is
available when using the
kettle reboiler.

The liquid coming from the


stage above the reboiler
passes through the reboiler
once and is returned to the
bottom of the column as a
mixture of liquid and vapor.

@jefersoncostaengineer
Reboiler Circulation
Without Baffle
The liquid coming from the stage above the reboiler enters the
sump, from which the bottoms and the reboiler feed are both
drawn (with the same composition).

The reboiler product is returned above the


sump. Vapor may also be produced when the
hot liquid return from the reboiler contacts the
liquid in the sump.

@jefersoncostaengineer
Reboiler Circulation
With Baffle

The sump is divided into two sections with


different compositions. The liquid from above the
reboiler enters one section, from which the
reboiler feed is drawn. The reboiler liquid product
enters the other section, from which the bottoms
stream is drawn.

Excess reboiler liquid return (above the flow rate of the bottoms
stream) overflows into the first section. Vapor from the first
section (along with that from the reboiler product) passes up to
the stage above.
