Notes:
Importance of selecting a Selecting a thermodynamic method is
Thermodynamic Method critical for phase equilibrium and enthalpy
Duration: 00:00:51 prediction in process simulation. Poor
Advance mode: Auto selection can lead to convergence with
erroneous results.
Certain methods are more widely
recommended based on the nature of
your system.
For example, using Peng-Robinson as
the thermodynamic method for a propane
and propylene splitter system, will result
in a condenser duty and a reflux feed
ratio, as shown. When Grayson-Streed is
selected as the thermodynamic method
for the same system, the results will differ
significantly.
This example may be extreme but
illustrates the importance of selecting the
correct thermodynamic method.
In the software, the thermodynamic

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


methods are organized in categories that
are used for various systems.
Let’s review these categories and
suggested systems.

Slide 11
Notes:
Video: Thermodynamic There are many thermodynamic methods
Methods in PRO/II in the software, and it is important to
Duration: 00:02:21 know which methods are best suited to a
Advance mode: Auto system. In the software, thermodynamic
methods are organized by category. Let’s
review several of them now.
To add a thermodynamic method, first
select a category, then under Primary
Method, the desired thermodynamic
system can be found.
The first category is Most Commonly
Used. These thermodynamic systems
apply to many simulations. This includes
methods commonly used in oil refining
and gas processing, such as Soave-
Redlich Kwong (or SRK) and Peng-
Robinson (or PR). Grayson-Streed is
typically an excellent choice for crude
simulation. The Most Commonly Used
category also includes methods used in
chemical processing, such as Ideal and
NRTL.
Next is All Primary Methods. This
selection provides a list of all
thermodynamic systems regardless of
category.
Equations of State includes methods
typically used in gas processing, such as
SRK, PR, BWRS, Lee-Kessler-Plocker,
and some of their modified forms.

Liquid Activity methods includes methods
typically used for a chemical system
simulation, such as NRTL, UNIQUAC,
and Wilson. These methods use liquid
activity coefficients to model the liquid
phase behavior.
Generalized Correlations includes
methods typically used for refinery
systems, such as Grayson-Streed (or
GS). Generalized Correlations are semi-
rigorous methods with empirical
expressions which have been derived
from experimental data.
Other categories, included in the
software, are:
• Special Packages, (such as
Amines, Glycols, Sour water)
• Electrolyte,
• User-added Methods, and
• CAPE-OPEN.
For more information on these categories
and methods, please view the
Thermodynamic Keyword Manual and the

Slide 17
Notes:
Refining Processes The methods recommended for refining
Duration: 00:01:12 processes are as shown.
Advance mode: Auto The Grayson-Streed thermodynamic
method is suggested for hydrogen rich
systems, a crude tower, vacuum unit,
coker fractionator, and FCC main
fractionator.
SRK and PR methods are suggested for
light end columns, splitters, and gas
recovery plants. When lightends are
larger than 30%, consider using the SRK
and PR thermo methods instead of using
Grayson-Streed. Also note that it is
possible to set different thermodynamic
systems for different unit operations,
which we will go more into detail later. For
hydrogen rich systems, it is suggested to
use a modified method, such as SRKM.
For sour water systems, SOUR and
GPSWATER is suggested.

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


If there is a lot of water in your system,
you may want to use a method which
calculates rigorous VLLE, such as SRKK,
SRKM, SRKS, and IGS. These methods
rigorously handle three phases.
 
More information on rigorous VLLE will be
discussed later.

Slide 18
Notes:
Gas Processes The methods recommended for gas
Duration: 00:00:32 processing are as shown.
Advance mode: Auto SRK and PR can be used for all types of
pressure systems. Note that GS and
NRTL cannot be used in high pressure
systems.
For systems with water, methanol, and
other polar components, SRKM, PRM,
and SRKS are suggested.
Other thermo methods recommended for
gas processing are GLYCOL, AMINE,
and SRKK, IGS, SRKM, and SRKS.

Slide 19
Notes:
Equations of State (EOS) Historically, equations of state (or EOS)
Duration: 00:01:01 have been successfully applied to
Advance mode: Auto petroleum and refining hydrocarbon
systems and light gases. Recent
advances in mixing rules and alpha forms
have extended their applicability to many
non-ideal systems.
These methods are the most rigorous
means for computation of thermodynamic
properties.
EOS methods are derived from PVT
relationships of the ideal gas law, such as
SRK and Peng-Robinson.
Main advantages for using EOS include:
its simple calculation, binary interaction
parameters, and applicability to wide
ranges of temperature and pressure
conditions.
They are well suited for modeling:
• Real and ideal gasses
• Hydrocarbon mixtures
• Light gas mixtures
• A large range of temperatures
and pressures, and
• Supercritical conditions
EOS are less reliable when the
components are polar and non-ideal
(such as water and alcohols).

Slide 20
Notes:
Modified Equations of Modified Equations of State, like the ones
State highlighted on the right, are designed for
Duration: 00:00:32 use when systems become less ideal.
Advance mode: Auto These modified equations are better
suited to handle VLLE calculations.
In addition, they are well suited for
modeling systems with: polar
components, significantly different
molecules, and non-ideal components
(such as water and alcohols).
More information on all thermodynamic
methods can be found in the Reference
Manual and the Thermodynamic Data
Keyword Manual.

Slide 21
Notes:

Advance mode: Auto thermodynamic method.
Some general guidelines include:
• For single component systems,
use Ideal
• For hydrocarbon systems, use
EOS or Grayson-Streed for
refinery applications
• For non-ideal systems, use NRTL
or a modified EOS depending on
the pressure conditions
• There also specific systems for
amines, glycols, alcohol, and
sour water systems
• When considering different
thermodynamic methods, verify

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


that BIPs exist between all
significant components
• Try testing multiple
thermodynamic methods to
bracket a solution. If your
answers don’t change
significantly, then any of the
selected methods may be used
• When considering different
thermodynamic methods, verify
that binary interaction parameters
exist between all significant
components
• Utilize the Help available in the
software or contact technical
support

Slide 22

Individual Unit Ops unit operations may need different
Duration: 00:00:56 thermodynamic methods.
Advance mode: Auto When using multiple methods, you may
need to add a unit operation to maintain
the consistency of conditions.
For example, the calculated temperature
is a variable that typically changes
between methods.
Historically, when using multiple methods
a dummy flash was added to keep the
temperature or enthalpy constant.
The Thermo Reset Unit is now more
commonly used due to its ease of use.
We will go into more detail about the
Thermo Reset Unit in Section 4.
To set a thermodynamic method for a
specific unit operation, that is different

from the global method, double-click on
the unit operation, then under
Thermodynamic System, select the
desired method. Note that the system
won’t be listed unless it was added under
Defined Systems in the Thermodynamic

Slide 24
Notes:
VLE (Image shown: Top center box says
Duration: 00:01:26 “Vapor”; Bottom left box says “Liquid”;
Advance mode: Auto Bottom right says “Pure Water”)
Water decant is a method used to
determine how water is handled by
certain thermodynamic systems.
When selecting a thermodynamic system
that uses VLE (such as SRK), the
behavior is to separate the water and the
hydrocarbon liquid phases. Therefore,
the default of VLE is actually VLWE. This
simplification allows for a more rapid
calculation. This option is only
appropriate when the components in the
water phase are not important.
So, if you have a system with three
phases, where water is condensed, it is
assumed to condense as a pure phase.
The software does the following:
1. The vapor liquid equilibrium is
calculated rigorously using k-
values
2. The amount of water in the vapor
and liquid phase is determined by
the vapor pressure and water
solubility, respectively.
3. Any remaining water is treated as
a pure phase
When trace components in the water
phase are important, such as for
environmental studies, a rigorous method
should be applied.
As a warning, do not turn decant off.
When decant is off, you’re limited to two
phases. Water is treated as a regular

component.
There is a range of options of how the
software calculates water in the
hydrocarbon. It is recommended to find
the closest match to experimental data.

Slide 25
Notes:
Decant To modify the water decant options,
Duration: 00:00:23 select the thermodynamic method, click
Advance mode: Auto Modify | Water Options.
 
The software has a range of options for
calculating the water in the hydrocarbon.
Typically, data is not available and the
SimSci method is a good choice.
However, if experimental data is
available, try different methods to
determine the closest match.

Slide 26
Notes:
VLLE (Image shown: Top center box says
Duration: 00:00:23 “Vapor”; Bottom left box says “Liquid 1”;
Advance mode: Auto Bottom right says “Liquid 2”)
When it’s important to rigorously calculate
all three phases, the use of VLLE is better
suited.
 
When using VLLE, the software
rigorously calculate k-values between all
three phases: vapor, liquid 1, and liquid
2. 
 
SRKM is an example of a thermodynamic
method that uses VLLE.

Slide 28
Notes:
Liquid Activity / Activity While most refinery hydrocarbon systems
Coefficient Methods behave relatively ideally, most chemical
Duration: 00:01:36 systems typically do not.
Advance mode: Auto  
The relatively ideal behavior of
hydrocarbon systems therefore lends
themselves well to the use of EOS.
 
Whereas, it is often easier to describe
strongly non-ideal systems with a liquid
activity coefficient model.
 
Therefore, when dealing with the more
non-ideal chemical systems such as
ethanol and water, the liquid activity
coefficient methods provide more
accurate results.
 
These methods are usually used when:

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


• The components are non-ideal,
• The molecules are different sizes,
• There are two liquid phases,
• When the liquid phase is a
mixture of components which do
not differ greatly in volatility,
• The system has low to medium
pressures, and
• binary interaction parameters are
needed. If parameters are not
there, the system will default to
ideal.
 
They are less reliable when the
components are:
• light gas mixtures,
• high pressure,
• or paraffins.
 
The software has a number of liquid
activity coefficient methods as shown
here.
The WILSON, NRTL, and UNIQUAC
methods, in particular, are good choices
for non-ideal systems.
 
Henry’s Law is used to estimate non-
condensibles in the liquid phase and is
used when activity coefficients don’t exist.
For example, an Ethanol-nitrogen system,
is not likely to have an interaction
parameter but likely to have a Henry’s
coefficient available.

Advance mode: Auto heat exchangers and column hydraulics
and are calculated by default. The
software will provide a notification if these
are required.
 
If changing the transport property from
the default method, you have several
options. To do this, in the Transport
Properties window, check or un-check the
box to compute or to not compute,
respectively.
 
There are three main transport systems:
Pure Component Average, Petroleum
Correlations, and TRAPP Correlations.
 
Pure is suggested when calculating the
transport properties for component

mixtures from the library. This option
applies simple mixing rules to the
temperature-dependent pure component
values available in the selected
databanks to calculate mixture transport
properties. Saturation values are used
and no pressure correlations apply. This
transport system is the default.
 
Petroleum is suggested for hydrocarbon
systems. This option uses predictive
correlations that apply to bulk
hydrocarbon mixtures. Pressure
correlations apply.
 
TRAPP is suggested for light
hydrocarbons from C1 to C10. TRAPP
uses petroleum correlations to calculate
surface tension.

Slide 31
Notes:
Video: Transport You may also specify individual
Properties properties, such as vapor and liquid
Duration: 00:02:27 viscosity, thermal conductivity, and
Advance mode: Auto surface tension. As the engineer, you
must take responsibility for understanding
your system to select the best transport
property options for success.
Let’s see how changing the transport
properties affects the results, more
specifically for liquid viscosities.
For a mixture of pure components, the
default options are typically acceptable.
However, for heavy hydrocarbons, you
may need to look at alternatives.
In this example, we have a vacuum

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


column with residue at a low temperature.
As a result, this stream will have high
viscosity and differences in the options
will be exaggerated.
For heavy hydrocarbons, the software
has the option: SimSci Heavy Oil, which
should provide better results than the
default. There is also an API Correlation
method, which you may select if you are
trying to compare the results between
simulators. Let’s take a look at these
options in our example.

For flash drum F3, its thermodynamic


system is set to GS-PETRO, which
transport properties are shown here.
For flash drum F1, it is set to GS-
HEAVYOIL.
For flash drum F2, it is set to GS-API97.
When we run our simulation, we see that
the liquid viscosities have different
results.
Viscosity is typically a tricky property to
predict, especially for heavy
hydrocarbons. Different predictive
methods will produce different results,
which become more significant for
heavier streams. As the engineer, you
must select a method that provides the
best agreement with measured data, if
available. If measured data isn’t available,
it is advised to select an appropriate
method depending on the type of fluid in
your system (for example: SimSci Heavy
Oil for the heavier cuts).
If needed, note that you may add your
own user-added method to precisely

calculate the measured values.
For the best chance of success, you need
to understand your system and the
methods available.

Slide 37
Notes:
Component Selection There are numerous components that
Duration: 00:00:59 can be input into the software, including
Advance mode: Auto hydrocarbon lightends, alcohols, and
amines. These can be found in organized
databases in the software.
Let’s go through how to input these
various components.
In previous Introduction to PRO/II
modules, we discussed selecting
components from lists, which include all
components in the SimSci-supplied
databanks. They also include all
components that are in any user
databanks registered for use in the
software.
Let’s now look at other options in the
Component Selection window.
These additional options include the
ability to input:
• Petroleum data (covered in the

eLearning module Chiller Plant)
• A user-defined component
• And a variety of other options
In this introductory curriculum, we will
focus on selecting a component from the
library databank, petroleum components,
and a quick overview of User-defined
components; let’s look at these next.

databank in the search order in which the
component appears.
Databanks may be added, and the search
order may be changed. Company
databanks can be registered under the
Thermodynamic Data Manager (or TDM)
program. Additional databanks, such as
OLI (Electrolytes) may be purchased as
well.

Slide 43
Notes:
Thermodynamic Data The Thermodynamic Data Manager (or
Manager (TDM) TDM), which is located under the Input
Duration: 00:00:57 tab, allows you to build a customized
Advance mode: Auto component database or to register a
user-added databank. Essentially, TDM is
a housekeeping tool to build and manage
component data.
The component libraries in the software
meet most requirements for physical
property and thermodynamic data.
However, on specific occasions, you may
want to create a component user library:
• When component properties are
missing from the system libraries
• To avoid having to enter the
same component or
thermodynamic data for several
simulations
• To make specific property data
mandatory
• To calculate with experimental
values
• To add components not available
in the system libraries

Advance mode: Auto have noticed that the software has many
types of streams: internal, external (also
known as input), recycle, and product.
Let’s now look at the various types of
input streams:
• Composition Defined,
• Petroleum Assay, and
• Referenced to Stream.
In this introductory course, we will not

Slide 55
Notes:
TBP Cutpoints In the Flowrate and Assay window, you
Duration: 00:01:47 have the option to change the true boiling
Advance mode: Auto point (or TBP) cutpoint set to one of the
following:
• Default Cutpoint Set, which may
be modified from the Assay
Cutpoints and Characterization
window,
• Secondary Cutpoint Set, which
may be added and defined in the
Assay Cutpoints and
Characterization window,
• And Separately Defined Blend
using the Primary Cutpoint Set.
Separately Defined Blend using Primary
Cutpoint Set is used when a new
secondary cutpoint set is created by
checking the option and providing a name
in the space provided, rather than
selecting the second option (Secondary
Cutpoint Set) and having to go back to
the Assay Cutpoints and Characterization
window. Note that the name must be
unique from all other secondary cutpoint
set names. Any cutpoint set that was
created in this manner for a previous
stream may also be selected from the
drop-down list box. The cutpoint ranges
for the Primary cutpoint set are used for
sets defined in this manner.
Note that the terms "Cutpoint set" and
"blend" are really synonyms, since a
blend of components is produced for
each cutpoint set. Thus, similar
composition assay streams which may be

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


represented with the same blend
components would normally be assigned
the same Cutpoint set.
By default, pseudocomponents for
petroleum assay streams which use the
same TBP Cutpoint set are "included in"
(or blended) to produce a common set of
pseudocomponents. You may change the
selected blending option by clicking on
the green or blue text.

Slide 56
Notes:
Reference Streams And lastly, let’s view the Stream Type:
Duration: 00:01:06 Referenced to Stream.
Advance mode: Auto Referenced to Stream is used to set the
composition of a stream (the target
stream) to be identical to another stream
(the referenced stream).
When Referenced to Stream is selected,
click Flowrate and Stream. From here,
you can override the Fluid Flowrate. Then
click the question marks to select the
stream you’d like to reference from.
There are several reasons why
referencing a stream is utilized:
1. When the stream is used multiple
times. Referencing a stream
allows for stream to be defined
only once, as opposed to multiple
times in the flowsheet. This
allows for model calculation
efficiency as well as minimizing
error.

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


2. When additional analysis is
needed for a specific stream. For
example, referencing a crude unit
feed to check outlet conditions.
3. And lastly, a reference stream
can be used to break a recycle
stream.
To view an example of a reference
stream, open the .prz file located under
Resources, which we will cover next.

Slide 57
Notes:
Reference Streams In this example, a target stream is
Duration: 00:00:58 referenced four times. The stream, LP-
Advance mode: Auto STEAM, is defined once and then
referenced.
So, if the steam conditions change, all
that is needed is to change them in the
LP-STEAM stream, and the changes are
automatically reflected in the 4 referenced
streams. In this manner, data entry time
is reduced, and possible mistakes have
been avoided.
Another common example is the
referencing of a single Cooling Water
stream on a large flowsheet. Not only is
data entry time saved, the simulation can
be tested under winter or summer
conditions by simply making a change to
one stream.
In these instances, it’s common to
consider copying and pasting these
streams, rather than referencing.
Although this may be a quick alternative,
an important difference to note is that this
is a one-time change, and if future

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


updates are required, each individual
stream must be changed.

Slide 58

operations, such as the:
• Flash Drum,
• Simple heat exchanger,
• Valve,
• Distillation column,
• Controller, and
• Optimizer.
In this section, we will cover some of
these unit operations in more detail, as
well as introduce new unit operations,
such as the mixer, splitter, Thermo Reset
Unit, and MVC.
Your completion of this course will be
dependent upon you passing a Final Quiz

Slide 65
Notes:
Flash Drum Flash Drum
Duration: 00:00:30 The flash drum unit operation calculates
Advance mode: Auto the thermodynamic state of any stream
when specifications (such as the
temperature and pressure) are given.
Once the phase equilibrium is
determined, the phases may be
separated into distinct product streams.
The flash drum can have any number of
feed streams. The inlet pressure is taken
to be the lowest pressure of all the feed
streams.
The flash drum can have up to u product
streams with different phases in each
stream. The possible product phases are
vapor, liquid, decanted water / second
liquid phase, a mixture of vapor and
liquid, and solids.

Slide 66
Notes:
Flash Drum Main Window The flash drum unit can be operated
Duration: 00:01:11 under a wide range of conditions:
Advance mode: Auto isothermal (temperature and pressure
specified), adiabatic (duty specified), dew
point (saturated vapor), bubble point
(saturated liquid), or isentropic (constant
entropy) conditions. The dew point may
also be determined for the hydrocarbon
phase or for the water phase depending
on the thermodynamic method used.
In the Flash Drum window, select the First
Specification with the drop-down menu
and enter a value. Confirm the unit of
measure.

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


Next under Second Specification, a Unit
Specification or Product Specification
may be selected. If Unit Specification is
selected, you may input the temperature,
duty, or vapor mole fraction. If Product
Specification is selected, you may input a
controlled performance specification for
the flash drum.
If there are multiple product streams
leaving the flash unit, the phase
conditions will be separated based on the
number of streams attached. You must
specify the product phase for each
stream using the Product Phases window.

Slide 67
Notes:
Mixer Mixer
Duration: 00:00:49 The mixer unit operation combines two or
Advance mode: Auto more streams into a single product
stream. The pressure drop or outlet
pressure may be specified, if desired. The
outlet temperature and phase condition
are always determined with an adiabatic
flash (like the valve unit operation) from
the feed conditions. Note that this unit
supports both VLE and VLLE
calculations.
The number of feed streams permitted is
unlimited, but keep in mind that the
mixer’s inlet pressure is assumed to be
the lowest feed pressure.
The mixer, like the valve unit operation, is
solved in a similar manner to that of an
adiabatic flash unit. For the mixer, the
temperature of the single outlet stream is
computed for a specified outlet pressure

and a duty specification of zero.

Slide 68
Notes:
Splitter Splitter
Duration: 00:00:50 The splitter unit operation may be used to
Advance mode: Auto split a single feed stream or mixture of
feed streams into two or more products of
identical composition and phase
condition.
In the Splitter window, under Product
Rate Specifications, specification
parameters are set for the output
streams.
The outlet temperature and phase are
determined by performing an adiabatic
flash calculation at the lowest pressure of
the inlet stream or streams and with duty
specification of zero. The composition
and phase distribution of each product
stream will be identical.
A choice of options is provided for splits in
which insufficient feed is available to
meet the specified product rates.
Under Pressure Specification, the
pressure drop or outlet pressure may be
specified.

Slide 69
Notes:
Thermo Reset Unit Thermo Reset Unit
Duration: 00:01:14 The Thermo Reset Unit operation, which
Advance mode: Auto can be found in the PFD Palette under
the Miscellaneous tab, is used to reset
the product stream’s thermal condition
using the thermodynamic method
specified within the unit.
For example, assume the product of one
unit operation feeds a second unit
operation. In addition, assume the
enthalpy basis in the thermodynamic
method sets of one unit operation is
different and inconsistent with the other.
In such cases, a discontinuity in the
enthalpy calculations occurs due to the
difference in enthalpy basis.
The purpose of the Reset unit is to
perform an orderly transition from one
enthalpy basis to the next. This avoids
calculation difficulties that otherwise
would arise due to the discontinuity in the
enthalpy data.
In the Thermodynamic Basis Reset Unit
window, the reset basis may be set such
as Constant Temperature or Constant
Enthalpy.
Only one feed and one product stream
are allowed for the unit. An input error is
generated if you  try to import a keyword
file that specifies more than one feed or
product stream.

Slide 70
Notes:
Feedback Controller Feedback Controller
Duration: 00:01:35 The Feedback Controller unit operation,
Advance mode: Auto which can be found in the PFD Palette
under the Utilities tab, is used to specify a
desired value for a flowsheet parameter
(called the specification or specification
variable) in the final converged solution.
Another unit or stream parameter (called
the control variable) will be varied by the
software in order to match the desired
value for the specification variable.
Each controller requires one specification
variable and one control variable.
In the Feedback Controller window under
Specification, set the stream parameter
(for example, a stream flowrate) or unit
operation parameter (for example, a duty)
that should have a specified value in the
final converged solution of the flowsheet.
The final converged solution will meet the
specification within the default tolerance.
Under Variable, select a parameter that
will be varied automatically by the
controller. To set the minimum value or
maximum value allowed for the control
variable, or to set the step size of the
change for the control variable on each
iteration, click Limits and Step Sizes.
By default, if the control variable reaches
a minimum or maximum limit, the
simulation will continue the calculations
using the limit value for the variable.
However, you may request that the
calculations stop if either limit is reached
by clicking on the other radio button.

Notes:
Translating a Real Column Translating a Real Column to Theoretical
to Theoretical Trays Trays
Duration: 00:01:01 As a reminder, once the column unit
Advance mode: Auto operation is added onto the PFD, the
Column Configuration window appears
and the number of theoretical trays is
required, which are also referred to as
theoretical stages.
Let’s look at an example.
In a distillation column with 25 trays, the
top 15 trays have a rectifying section that
is 80% efficient, while the remaining 10
trays have a stripping section that is 50%
efficient. The column also has a
condenser and a kettle reboiler.
When specifying this column, check both
boxes for the condenser and reboiler. To
translate the real column to theoretical
trays, the following calculations must be
computed, resulting in a total of 17
theoretical trays.
The condenser will automatically be set
as Tray 1. The 17 trays will follow, and the
kettle reboiler will be set as tray 19.

Feeds and Products
As discussed previously in the eLearning
module Debutanizer with Assay, Light
Ends Fractionation Train, under Feeds
and Products, the one or multiple feed
locations must be set.
A distillation column feed may be placed
directly on a tray or it may be phase
separated. Flowrate values are required
for product streams.
All columns must have at least two
products: an overhead product leaving
tray one and a bottom product leaving the
highest numbered tray.
Reboiler
If you choose a column with a reboiler, by
default, the reboiler type is set to kettle.
Options for thermosiphon reboilers with or
without baffles are provided for the
Inside-Out, Enhanced I/O and Sure
column algorithms only.

Initial Estimate Generator The initial estimate generator calculates
(IEG) the column algorithm starting conditions
Duration: 00:00:47 based on minimum user input. The IEG
Advance mode: Auto populates the algorithm with a set of initial
values, consisting of temperatures,
flowrates, compositions and physical
properties.
In the column unit operation, there are
four methods for initial estimate
generation:
• Simple,
• Conventional,
• Refinery, and
• Chemical.
These provide a strong starting point for
the solver, such as I/O or Chemdist, to
converge the calculations to a solution.
You can add your own estimates if you
wish, but in most cases, it is not
necessary to aid convergence. And in
some cases, it can prevent convergence.

Slide 81
Notes:
Initial Estimate Generator To change the IEG Method, click Initial
(IEG) Estimates.
Duration: 00:01:01 Simple is the only choice for liquid-liquid
Advance mode: Auto extraction. Column composition profiles
are determined by simple material
balances, and temperatures are
determined by estimating the product
compositions.
Conventional works well with most
columns. This method uses the Fenske
equation to estimate the composition
profile, which is strongly dependent on
product rate estimates.
Refining works well with complex refinery
columns (such as Crude, Vacuum, FCC
main fractionator, and Coker). It is also a
multi-product shortcut technique to
generate the estimates for these
columns.
Chemical works well with non-ideal
thermodynamics (such as azeotropic and
extractive distillation). It calculates a
series of adiabatic flashes up and down
the column trays several times, as
needed, to generate a good composition
starting profile.

Notes:
Column Algorithms Column Algorithms
Duration: 00:00:32 To solve the column, there are several
Advance mode: Auto algorithms available. This is necessary to
provide an efficient manner in which to
solve the wide variety of distillation and
liquid-liquid extraction problems which
occur in industry. The default algorithm is
the Inside-Out method. This method
solves a large number of distillation
applications efficiently and quickly and is
recommended for most hydrocarbon
systems.
Let’s briefly review each available column
algorithm.

Slide 83
Notes:
Column Algorithms The software defaults to an IEG and
Duration: 00:01:01 column algorithm, but you have the option
Advance mode: Auto to change these.
Inside-Out (I/O) solves quickly and is
robust in regards to initial estimates. I/O
is a good choice for columns with side
columns as they are solved
simultaneously. It is best suited to
relatively ideal thermodynamics, such as
EOS.
Sure is best for refining columns where
water is present below the condenser.
When using, also note that it can be slow
to converge and is more sensitive to initial
estimates.
Chemdist is designed for highly non-ideal
systems, such as VLLE and for reactive
distillation.

Published by Articulate® Presenter www.articulate.com


The Liquid-Liquid algorithm is used
specifically for liquid-liquid extraction.
Enhanced I/O is a special case of I/O,
which supports zero flowrates on trays
and liquid water below the condenser.

Slide 84
Notes:
Performance Performance Specifications
Specifications When inputting column performance
Duration: 00:00:52 specifications, the software gives you the
Advance mode: Auto flexibility to create and manage
appropriate specs for your unique
system. Some improper specifications
include:
• Setting 0% methane in the crude
bottoms. This results in infinite
solutions.
• Setting 300 lb-mole/hr of
propylene in the overhead. This
results in no solution if the
column feed has only 250 lb-
mole/hr of propylene.
• Setting 98% ethanol in the
product. This results in no
solution if a water-ethanol
azeotrope is present.
These examples highlight why it’s
important for you to understand what
you’re trying to achieve with your
columns, what the expected products are,
and the expected thermodynamic
behavior.
