Solution :

Methods for selling pressure of a distillation column :

a). Set, \text{based on the pressure required to condensed} the overhead stream using cooling water.

  (minimum of approximate 45°C condenser temperature)

b). Set, \text{based on highest temperature} of bottom product that avoids decomposition or reaction.

c). Set, \text{based on available highest } not utility for reboiler.

Running the distillation column above the ambient pressure because :

The components to be distilled have very high vapor pressures and the temperature at which they can be condensed at or below the ambient pressure.

Run the reactor at an evaluated temperature because :

a). The rate of reaction is taster. This results in a small reactor or high phase conversion.

b). The reaction is endothermic and equilibrium limited increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the right.

Run the reaction at an evaluated pressure because :

The reaction is gas phase and the concentration and hence the rate is increased as the pressure is increased. This results in a smaller reactor and /or higher reactor conversion.

The reaction is equilibrium limited and there are few products moles than react moles. As increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium to the right.
