Publisher Description
The ebook shall drive you in a "Simulation World" from Upstream, Midstream and Downstream Sectors!
Step by step simulation procedure including key technical parameters and neutral layout to be implemented in any available flowsheet simulator, thermo package recommendation and design tips specific for each type of presented Unit/Process - ALL necessary information to build a professional simulation are included!
Starting from Upstream processes like FPSO/GOSP, then passing to Midstream with Mercury Removal, Amine Unit, Glycol & Molecular Sieve Dehydration, NGL Recovery and complete Fractionation Train, then arriving Downstream to Refinery where Crude, Vacuum & Condensate Distillation Units are touch, various Strippers like: NHT, Distillate, VGO, Reformate Splitter and Stripper are presented, FCC & Hydrocracking Separation Sections, Saturated Gas Plant, Sour Water Stripping Unit plus Sulfur Recovery & TGT and finally to Petrochemical sector where PP Splitter with heat pump, BT Fractionation and Aromatic Separation are give out.
Also four special chapters are part of the ebook, MDMT rigorous calculation including tensile stress of wall expose to fire with practical examples (one vessel and multiple equipment protected by the same depressurization valve), HIPPS implementation for FPSO and Toluene Separation (dynamic simulation layout with integrator settings and various scenarios), CPA validation against experimental data with extensive graphs showing equilibrium for various literatures available experimental data and Divided Wall Column - DWC Opex & Capex quick tips and simulation / optimization tricks.
The above four special chapters are a must considering that in Upstream MDMT rigorous calculation is vital, CPA validation against experimental data used to compute necessary flow rate of hydrate inhibitor, MeOH & Mercury distribution between vapor, liquid and water phases are essential, HIPPS to minimize flare loads with Upstream & Downstream applications and the last one but important - the DWC, which gain more and more in all sectors.
At the end of each chapter the reader shall find “Take Away” section with useful technical information to be discovered!
Customer Reviews
Great practical guide
With the increasing complexity of chemical process simulation software and increasing pressures to outsource all jobs leaving process engineers less and less time to practice their actual profession, it is an increasing challenge for them to find the time to successfully assemble process simulations that are critical to the judicious operation of process units. This practical guide collection provides step-by-step procedures and initial data that are necessary to get a simulation going and build design or rating cases. Following the provided input data templates the engineer can then rapidly assess the necessary unit data required to tune the simulation to their actual operation. Suggestions are given with respect to the best choice of thermophysical frameworks, and the author shares his experience when several alternatives exist. This knowledge is not taught anywhere in a ChemE curriculum and is often times learned the hard way, mostly from mistakes. A great resource to have on hand both for the junior and the seasoned refining process engineer.
