DISCUSSION

CONCLUSION
RECOMMENDATION & SUGGESTION
Recommendations for further improvement of the operation of the distillation
column include: Connect a de-ionized water feed to the still pot for easy charging.
Currently, the water must be charged by hand Insulate top stage to improve the
accuracy of the TD reading. Use sensitive measurement method to detect low
concentrations ethanol in samples Recommendations for further research include:
Upgrade column with real-time computer-monitoring and control systems Quantify
the effect of heat loss on the internal reflux ratio stage by stage Develop a more
accurate model to predict the performance of the separation of binary mixture of
ethanol-water.
