Distillation Design is a book that provides complete coverage of the design of industrial distillation columns for the petroleum refining, chemical and petrochemical, natural gas processing, pharmaceutical and alcohol distilling industries. It has been a classical chemical engineering textbook since it was first published in February of 1992.

The book's author, Henry Z. Kister, was presented with Chemical Engineering Magazine's 2002 Award for Personal Achievement in Chemical Engineering. The award, presented biennially since 1968, honors individuals with distinguished careers related to the practice of chemical engineering.
