ASPEN process

The local composition model (LCM) is an excess Gibbs energy model for electrolyte systems from which activity coefficients can be derived. Chen and co-workers (17-19) presented the original LCM activity coefficient equations for binary and multicomponent systems. The LCM equations were subsequently modified (1, 2) and used in the ASPEN process simulator (Aspen Technology Inc.) as a means of handling chemical processes with electrolytes. The LCM activity coefficient equations are explicit functions, and require computational methods. Due to length and complexity, only the salient features of the LCM equations will be reviewed in this paper. The Aspen Plus Electrolyte Manual (1) and Taylor (21) present the final form of the LCM binary and multicomponent equations used in this work. 

Although the ASPEN process models can be put together to simulate many types of processes, it may still be necessary to use specialized or proprietary models. Such would be the case, perhaps, for a specific type of a coal gasification reactor. 

Under the processing agreement with the Crown, NZSFC is required to predict the operating efficiency of the complex for varying feedstock compositions. This is achieved using the Aspen Process Simulator which has been jointly developed by NZSFC and Davy McKee for this purpose.

Unlike conventional approaches, the proposed procedure totally resynthesizes the entire process by incorporating the operating units with enhanced performances. As such it can take into account all possible outcomes, including the inevitable restructuring of the flowsheet s network structure. Design parameters for each of the technologies have been identified by the simulation software Aspen Plus, then the cost parameters have been estimated by Aspen Process Evaluator Icarus. 

Follow the same procedure shown in the previous example for constructing the process flow sheet using Aspen. Specify feed stream conditions. Double click on pipe segment and set the pipe rise to 15 m. The pump exit pressure should be defined as the pipe inlet pressure (506.3 kPa) to overcome the pressure drop in the pipeline. The Aspen process flow sheet and stream table are shown in Figure 2.55. The pump brake hp is shown in Figure 2.56.
