I am looking for a good book on the design of batch distillation columns. Specifically I am looking for different overhead configurations, splitter designs, how reflux is fed back to the column (pumped vs gravity flow).
Mostly the mechanics of the designs.
A couple that I have found online are listed below. Does any one have any of these books? Comments or suggested books?
Thanks

Batch Distillation (Series on Chemical Engineering #3): Design And Operation, Vol. 3, Iqbal M. Mujtaba

Batch Distillation: Simulation, Optimal Design and Control (Series in Chemical and Mechanical Engineering)
by Urmila M. Diwekar,

AICHE has printed some distillation books in the past but I can not find any used ones online and they are not listed on the AICHE site.

Any help would be apreciated.

The distillation bible would be kister. I think that has a section on batch distillation.

I do not have access to either of the books that you mention or any others (including Kister)

Hope this is of some help
 
The books you have mentioned are probably the most referred ones in the batch distillation area. In my opinion you should stick to them.
