Process for separating a multi-component liquid.

摘要

In a process for separating a multi-component liquid, the multi-component liquid, after having been heated to form a liquid/vapour mixture, is passed into a first column (5) in which a subatmospheric pressure is maintained by means of a steam ejector system (6). Driving steam from the steam ejector system is used for contacting the bottoms fraction from the first column (5) in a second column (22) to separate the bottoms fraction into at least one heavy distillate fraction and a residual fraction.
