AspenPlus: RADFRACRigorous two- or three-phase fractionation for single columns. Models absorbers, strippers, reactive distillation, and so forth.
• RadFrac is a rigorous model for simulating all types of multistage vapor liquid fractionation operations. In addition to ordinary distillation, it can simulate:
o absorption reboiled absorption stripping reboiled stripping extractive ando absorption, reboiled absorption, stripping, reboiled stripping, extractive and azeotropic distillation

• RadFrac is suitable for:o three phase systems, narrow boiling and wide boiling systems, systems
exhibiting strong liquid phase nonideality• RadFrac can detect and handle a free water phase or other second liquid phase
anywhere in the column. You can decant free water from the condenser. • RadFrac can handle solids on every stageRadFrac can handle solids on every stage.• RadFrac can model columns where chemical reactions are occurring. Reactions can
have fixed conversions, or they can be:o equilibrium, rate controlled, electrolyticd h d diff h i l• RadFrac can model columns where two liquid phases exist and different chemical
reactions occur in the two liquid phases. RadFrac can also model salt precipitation.• RadFrac can operate in rating mode or design mode. • With Aspen Rate-Based Distillation feature, RadFrac can perform rate-based
