The separated products from distillation column is higher than its boiling point but in liquid form. Is it something error or its normal?

Question

I m separating the lactic acid using distillation column through the reboiler. The lactic acid stream reached upto 128C (which is higher than its boiling point 122C). The superpro also indicate that this steam is fully liquid. Is there something problem with my simulation or its a normal scenario ?

Answer 1

This scenario is not normal and may indicate an issue with your simulation. Liquid lactic acid at a temperature higher than its boiling point suggests a problem with the software or input parameters. It is recommended to review your simulation setup and input data to ensure accuracy.
