    Direct steam injection rectification involves injecting steam directly into the liquid in the tower bottom. This simplifies the construction by eliminating the need for a separate reboiler exchanger. It is used when distilling an aqueous solution containing a more volatile component and water. The main advantage is a simpler heater design that uses a sparger to inject the steam as small bubbles.

    RECTIFICATION WITH DIRECT STEAM INJECTION

    ➢ The steam is injected as small bubbles into the liquid in the tower bottom.
    ➢ The reboiler exchanger is not needed.
    ➢ Used when an aqueous solution of more volatile component and water is being distilled
    ➢ The advantage of open steam lies in simpler construction of heater, which is a sparger.

    TMB: F + S = D + B
    D, XD
    CMB: FXF = DXD + B XB
    F, XF

    For Stripping Line Equation:


    S
    TMB : Lm + S = Vm+1 + B

    CMB: Lm Xm + S(0) = Vm+1ym+1 + BXB

    REARRANGING: B, XB
    𝐿𝑚 BXB
    ym+1 = 𝑋𝑚 −
    Vm+1 Vm+1

    For Saturated Steam Entering:

    S = Vm+1 ; Lm = B
    𝐵 B𝑋𝐵
    Therefore: ym+1 = 𝑋𝑚 −
