This template presents a clear overview of a distillation process. The "Feed" enters the "Distillation Column," where separation occurs. Vapors rise and are condensed in the "Condenser." The condensed liquid flows into the "Reflux Drum," and a portion is pumped back into the column by the "Reflux Pump" as reflux. The remaining liquid is the "Distillate." At the bottom of the column, the "Reboiler" heats the liquid, generating vapors that rise back up. The liquid that doesn't vaporize exits as "Bottoms." This diagram is essential for understanding the basic operation and components of a distillation system in chemical processes.
