This paper simulated direct and indirect heating ammonia water distillation process by using Aspen Plus software.The simulation results were presented.Moreover,the equipment selection & cost,process energy consumption and operation economy between direct and indirect heating distillation were also compared.In conclusion,direct heating distillation had less equipment investment and lower energy consumption.However,indirect heating distillation had lower operation cost.
