Figure 5.22. (a) Temperature pattern control. With this arrangement interaction can occur between the top and
bottom temperature controllers (b) Composition control. Reflux ratio controlled by a ratio controller, or splitter
box, and the bottom product as a fixed ratio of the feed flow (c) Composition control. Top product take-off and
boil-up controlled by feed (d) Packed column, differential pressure control. Eckert (1964) discusses the control
