Many times the companies, we work for, have established a set of guidelines as good Distillation practice. The DPC provides new good ideas that challenge these established practices and keep them "evergreen." The DPC handbook is a wonderful resource that can provide an unbiased "second opinion" to many of today's challenging Distillation needs.
Dan Summers - Past DPC Chairman
The Design Practices Committee (DPC) of FRI functions as a body where general distillation industry design practices are documented and guidelines for their application developed. Their work is documented in FRI's Fractionation Tray Design Handbook: Volume 5; Design Practices.
