Process Simulation Essentials

If there are additional topics within the presentation slide deck or the simulation examples that you would like to see addressed, let us know. If you would like to share any materials you have with other professors, Chemstations can either be a reference or a repository. How can we help more?

What are we going to cover today? What does a process simulator do? Best Practices Common Mistakes

What does a process simulator do? Heat and mass balances around unit operations & whole processes Calculation of what happens with vapor, liquid, solid in unit operations – cooling, heating, separating or changing phase

Mass & Energy Balance

What does a process simulator do? Heat and mass balances around unit operations & whole processes Calculation of what happens with vapor, liquid, solid in unit operations – cooling, heating, separating or changing phase Have databanks of – physical properties of chemicals – thermodynamic models for vapor-liquid equilibria – mathematical models for common unit operations

Databank, Equations, Unit Ops

What do engineers do with process simulators? Model existing facilities – Parts or whole plants – Troubleshoot issues – Optimize energy/material use & costs – Increase throughput – Study what happens if conditions are different Connect to control system for monitoring / control Design new facilities

Best Practices Start with good physical property data Choose & validate your thermodynamic model Build model one step at a time Handle recycles with care

Start with good physical property data Which heat capacity curve is correct?

How to determine if properties are good Operational data is great Pilot plant data is good Lab data is ok Literature data is… sometimes not bad Predicted data is…brave

Learn how to choose thermodynamics

How do you choose your thermo model? Experience with thermo is necessary Articles / books can teach you basics Compare to data for important systems

Validate your thermodynamic model Inspect TPxy diagrams Run some flash calculations & inspect results Have a qualitative idea of what the phase separation will look like

Learn how to read Txy, Pxy, Txx, xy diagrams

One step at a time!

Start simple

Add piece-by-piece & converge at each step

Handle recycles with care

Calculations get more complicated

Put in a good initial estimate Specify this flow rate to stabilize calculations! Let the simulator calculate this flowrate

Start off with loop open to get estimate

Common Mistakes Matching plant data – How accurate are the measuring devices? Last calibrated? – Were all measurements taken at same steady state conditions? – Are you ignoring trace chemicals? – Neglecting to examine different conditions (cooling water can average 90˚F in Houston summer)

Other Common Mistakes Simulators get played like a video game – Converged doesn’t mean correct Understand your process before modeling – If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll get the wrong answer These are tools; you are the engineer – Garbage in = garbage out – Use engineering judgment, not necessarily default options

Takeaways from today Process simulators are powerful tools to help make it easier to solve a wide range of engineering problems You will encounter these tools when you graduate & should get familiar with them Like any tool, it’s important to know how to properly use it to get the best results

Learn more! Use a simulator to revisit homework problems! Find a mentor! Find examples!
