Engineering Services & Software introduces SuperFractionate/Ponchon Frequently, presenters must deliver material of a technical nature to an audience unfamiliar with the topic or vocabulary. The material may be complex or heavy with detail. To present technical material effectively, use the following guidelines from Dale Carnegie Training®.   Consider the amount of time available and prepare to organize your material. Narrow your topic. Divide your presentation into clear segments. Follow a logical progression. Maintain your focus throughout. Close the presentation with a summary, repetition of the key steps, or a logical conclusion. Keep your audience in mind at all times. For example, be sure data is clear and information is relevant. Keep the level of detail and vocabulary appropriate for the audience. Use visuals to support key points or steps. Keep alert to the needs of your listeners, and you will have a more receptive audience.

A Ponchon-Savarit Based Distillation Program Built in state of the art VLE data for C2 and C3 Splitters with LKP enthalpies A new standard in user friendliness Interactive through a state of the art interface Robust with tremendous error checking In your opening, establish the relevancy of the topic to the audience. Give a brief preview of the presentation and establish value for the listeners. Take into account your audience’s interest and expertise in the topic when choosing your vocabulary, examples, and illustrations. Focus on the importance of the topic to your audience, and you will have more attentive listeners.

SuperFractionate Allows Four feeds* Two liquid or vapor side draws* Two side reboilers* If you have several points, steps, or key ideas use multiple slides. Determine if your audience is to understand a new idea, learn a process, or receive greater depth to a familiar concept. Back up each point with adequate explanation. As appropriate, supplement your presentation with technical support data in hard copy or on disc, e-mail, or the Internet. Develop each point adequately to communicate with your audience. * Can be increased upon request

SuperFractionate Calculates Feed conditions at Inlet pressure Feed conditions at column pressure Maximum side reboiler duty Minimum reflux/duty for each section Minimum number of stages Actual number of stages in each section based on a user supplied % above minimum reflux.

Why a Ponchon-Savarit Based Distillation Model? The best shortcut method. Method takes into account VLE as well as enthalpies, Fast calculation method for a large number of stages, Identify Controlling feed Quickly perform side reboiler sensitivity analysis If the system is a binary, the solution is actually rigorous.

State of the art VLE data for C2 and C3 Splitters A Fifteen parameter BWR equation of state Virial based mixing rules Three interaction parameters The C2 data of Barclay and Manley The C3 data of Manley, Spencer and Haddad, Manley and Swift Determine the best close for your audience and your presentation. Close with a summary; offer options; recommend a strategy; suggest a plan; set a goal. Keep your focus throughout your presentation, and you will more likely achieve your purpose.
