Based on rigorous thermodynamic and kinetic mechanism models, it is suitable for complex systems with multiple components, phase changes, and chemical reactions. It can accurately describe the dynamic characteristics such as pressure, flow rate, temperature, composition, and energy of various equipment in industrial plants, and it also possesses good scalability. The final simulated plant setup matches the actual production facility exactly, and accurately reproduces various dynamic characteristics of the real facility. Are you interested in conducting training for starting up and shutting down air separation units, as well as for handling accidents, in this format? The attached images show the results of the simulation model; if you’re interested, feel free to contact me.

What software is used for simulation, and what skills are required to use it?
For developing custom software, a background in chemical engineering is required; having experience with tools like Aspen or HYSYS will facilitate getting started faster
