CHEMCAD Basics seminar is aimed at new CHEMCAD users, as well as users with previous knowledge of process simulation software. The topics include separation processes, thermodynamic models, aezotropic behaviour, sensitivity studies, dynamic simulation and simulation of other basic process components such as chemical reactors and heat exchangers. A great part of the seminar consists of practical workshops to let participants become familiar with the user interface and basic workflows of CHEMCAD.
|
The first day introduces the major elements and some typical workflows with a special focus on separation processes involving the vapor and liquid phase such as the 2-phase flash and distillation. Basic thermodynamic concepts are covered together with the most important gE-models and equations of state. Due to the importance in distillation, some general rules and simplifications concerning azeotropic behavior as well as options for the separation of close-boiling or azeotropic mixtures are discussed. The greatest part of the day is occupied by workshop examples to let the participants become familiar with the user interface and the basic workflows of CHEMCAD. 1st day
The second day covers a variety of topics, mostly in form of practical workshops starting with important tools like sensitivity studies, optimization controller and data reconciliation. After brief hands-on introductions to dynamic simulation and batch distillation, final workshops on distillation and column sizing and a session on mixture VLE estimation conclude the course.

Thermodynamic Models in CHEMCAD and Parameter Estimation

The selection of an appropriate thermodynamic model and choice of parameters is of great importance for process simulation and many novice users of CHEMCAD are insecure about the right choice.The course will briefly introduce the most common models for the description of pure component and mixture properties with their specific range of applicability.
Different estimation methods together with their strengths and limitations will be introduced (Joback, …, UNIFAC, mod. UNIFAC, …).
Various processes will be discussed with respect to model selection and parameter estimation or regression and most common mistakes will be exemplified.
In most cases, only a limited portion of the model parameters is crucial for a design, while many others have relatively little influence on the results. The course will train different strategies to adequately address these issues.
The seminar can also be held in German.

Distillation Design in CHEMCAD 2 days

Time: 09:00-13:30 Berlin Time
Location: Online

The course covers the design of binary and multicomponent distillation mostly based on the book “Distillation Design” by Henry Z. Kister.
The McCabe-Thiele method is shortly reviewed and applied to identify the optimum feed location, different types of pinches and the effect of cooling and heating on column stages, effect of more than 1 feed, sidedraws, ….
In case of multicomponent distillation of non-ideal mixtures, design boundaries (minimum number of stages, minimum reflux ratio) are difficult to determine, as simple short-cut methods (Underwood, Gilliland, Fenske) are useful only for relatively ideal mixtures.
To visualize the operating conditions and identify correct feed location, reflux ratio, …, graphical methods based on the results of multicomponent rigorous column simulations are introduced and discussed (Hengstebeck-, Key Ratio- and d/b-Plots).
An Excel macro (VBA source code) program is provided as part of the course material, that can generate these diagrams automatically from the column profile output in CHEMCAD.
The diagrams allow to easily identify mis located feed points, wrong thermal state of the feed, excessive reflux or reboil and and allow to identify cases, where additional feeds or side-draws or intermediate heat exchangers are attractive.
A short outlook is given on similar methods for extraction (Hunter-Nash) and combined balance line construction in extraction-distillation combinations (example: QVF-process for acetic acid recovery (De Dierich).
The seminar can also be held in German.

Pinch Technology for Heat Integration in CHEMCAD
Date: 24.11.2022
Time: 15:00-18:30 Berlin Time

Language: English / optional German

Besides Exergy Analysis, Pinch Technology is routinely applied to assess the potential of heat integration in chemical processes. It is especially appealing as it provides an easy to use graphical method to integrate lower value heating (low pressure steam, boiler feedwater) or cooling (water) utilities. In addition, the composite and grand composite curves and process and utility pinches can suggest minor changes in process design (e.g. column pressures) that can significantly increase energy saving potential. The course features an introduction to Pinch Technology and application using several examples in CHEMCAD. In practice, the heat integration potential is then realized by the construction of a heat exchanger network (HEN) based on the maximum energy recovery (MER) and the minimum number of heat exchangers. This is not part of this short course. The seminar can also be held in German.

CHEMCAD bietet mächtige Werkzeuge zur Simulation, Analyse und Optimierung von Batch Destillationen.
In diesem Kurs wird gezeigt, wie man von den Rückstandskurven für offene Systeme ohne Rücklauf zu den für die Praxis relevanteren Destillationskurven kommt.
Es werden Batch Fahrweisen mit konstantem Rücklauf, konstanter Destillattemperatur und kombinierte Fahrweisen zur Minimierung der Batch Zeit diskutiert.
Anhand von Beispielen wird das enorme Einsparpotential für Zeit und Energie aufgezeigt.
Rückstandskurven können standardmäßig in CHEMCAD generiert werden. Allerdings nur für den einfachen Batch. In diesem Kurs werden Möglichkeiten für die Erweiterung dieses Konzeptes für Kolonnen erarbeitet. Damit können jetzt auch die wesentlich spannenderen Destillationskurven berechnet werden. Neben der Fahrweise mit konstantem Rücklauf, bzw. konstanter Temperatur hat sich eine 3. Fahrweise nach dem Minimum Time Problem etabliert. Anhand von Beispielen wird das Einsparpotential von bis zu 20 % der Zeit aufgezeigt. Agenda
