Process Option

Process simulation

Tags: economic analysis, energy balance, material balance, process simulation
Reference:
MH24OP.SP
Course: 3 h
Practical Work: 21 h
Evaluation method:
30% written, 10% TP, 60% oral
Course outline:

The objective of this training is to simulate a real industrial process using commercial process simulation software (Aspen Hysys). It will involve choosing units (reactions, separation), optimizing the operating parameters and evaluating the unit’s performance (production, selectivity, efficiency, etc.) according to the specifications set. Once these parameters have been established, students will have to evaluate the economic potential of the process studied (Aspen Icarus and bibliographic data).

Learning objectives:

Students who have completed this course will be able to:
-To carry out a material balance on a global process
-To simulate an industrial process on a large commercial software in static mode (Aspen plus, Aspen Hysys) in order to optimize the operating parameters of the process as well as possible
-To establish an economic balance of the process (energy costs, CO2 emissions, revenues, expenses, salary, installation costs, income taxes…)

Prerequisites: Process simulation base acquired during the 2nd year practical work
