call for papers

Presentation proposals may be submitted along the non-exhaustive broad topical areas mentioned below -

• Issues in batch distillation, extractive, reactive, cryogenic, adsorptive, and azeotropic distillation 
• Improvements in packing and tray technology (high capacity, improved efficiency)
• Diagnostics and troubleshooting operations
• Debottlenecking and revamps
• Process intensification using divided wall columns, thermally coupled columns, integration with other separation processes
• Fundamental mass transfer data collection. Phase equilibria and VLE. Performance testing of column internals
• Pilot scale operations & scale up
• Process control improvements (inferential, multi-variable control, model-based control) 
• Modelling and correlation improvements
• Big-data and data-analytics applications in distillation
• Simulation studies (process / CFD) and digital twins
• Improved design of column auxiliaries (reboilers, condensers, nozzles, distributors etc.)
• Process safety, asset integrity & reliability improvements
• Energy efficiency & sustainable process development

• Please submit an abstract for your proposed presentation on or before 1 June 2025.
• Selected presentations will be intimated by Mid - July 2025.
• All presenters must be willing to submit a full written paper by 8 August 2025.
• Authors have to submit their presentations by 12 September 2025.
• Please note: If authors are unable to submit a full written paper by the submission deadline (8 August 2025) for any reason – their paper selection will stand revoked, and presentation shall stand withdrawn.
• Abstracts should be technical in nature and provide enough details of the proposed topic.
• All marketing content and branding should be relegated to the background and be pass-by references.
• Authors must explicitly mention, if the proposed abstract has already been presented at an earlier event or published.
• Authors should also mention if the proposed abstract is a continuation of a paper presented at an earlier Distillation Experts Conclave/other event.
• Abstracts should provide an objective, technology proposed, or methodologies used (if any), case studies / experimental studies, and explanations of take away message.
• Abstracts are encouraged to include tables, graphs, pictures, and references as necessary.
• A single company/author may submit more than one (1) abstract. Multiple companies may collaborate and submit abstracts, and in fact encouraged.
• Abstracts will only be received via the distillationconclave.com website.
