General description and relevant information |
Attention:
Part 1: separation of complex systems using computer aided process engineering tools as decision support systems. - The course schedule during the modelling part will be from 15:00 to 18:30 with 10 minutes break. - This part of the course will be done in the computer laboratory 304. Advanced modelling strategies for the design and rate separation strategies in steady state for complex systems using advance modelling strategies (sensitivy analysis, design specification, optimization, FORTRAN, calculator blocks, optimization, constraints...). To obtain such results AspenPlus and/or AspenHysys modelling tools will be used. Petroleum and oil separation: - Pseudocomponents: assay curves, ASTM, TBP, gravity, light ends, blending. - Pre-flash colum: furnace. - Atmosferic column: side strippers, pumparounds. - Vaccum column: furnace, side strippers, side-streams. - Sulfur content: assay curves, Sulfur distribution in the products... - Column internals: tray sizing & rating, pack (random &structured) sizing & rating. Solids separation: - SiO2 drier: solids. - Calcite crushing: PSD, crushers. - Particulate removal: PSD, cyclone, bag-filter, venturi-scrubber, electrostaticprecipitator, ultimate, proximate, and sulfur analyses. - Coal drying, coal combustion and coal separation: ultimate, proximate, and sulfur analyses, PSD, reactions with solids, - RGibbs, bag-filter, cyclone, fabric
filter. - Spray drier: generation of particles, spray dryer. Electrolyte separation: - Acid-base mixing and flashing: aqueous electrolytes, electrolyte wizard, electrolyte reactions, mixing, flashing - Sour water stripping: electrolytes wizard, apparent component approach - Inserts: import inserts, property sets, estimates - CO2 capture: rate-based models, Henry components, reactive distillation Part 2: Membrane separation Membrane technology from micro-filtration to ultra- or nano-filtration
and reverse osmosis. Introduction to membrane
synthesis and microencapsulation. Use of WAVE simulator. Part 3: operation of pilot plants (depending on availability) - Continuous distillation pilot plant with pneumatica actuators and a remote supervisory control and data acquisition system. Preparation of the feed. Plant start-up. Operational procedure. Ziegler-Nicholds tuning method for PID
controllers. - Operation
of pilot plants (depending on availability): Multiproduct and
multipurpose batch pilot plant with electronic actuators and controlled
by a remote programmable logical controller. Preparation of the feed mixture (BACO). Glucose mass balance and decanting. Vaccum distillation operation. |
