Inquire about the price for simulating a silicone distillation tower
Thread Content
What is the current price for simulating silicone distillation towers? In other words, what is the cost of the distillation section in a silicone engineering project?

Contact me at: zrlwj@21cn.com. I specialize in performing process calculations for a company that manufactures tower internals; I have experience in this area and can guarantee that the calculations will be done accurately.
Upstairs, have you calculated the silicone project?

In fact, at present in China, for silicone distillation, it is generally the packing manufacturers that provide the software packages, while the design institutes are responsible for the engineering design.
“At present, in China, software packages for silicone distillation are basically provided by packing manufacturers. I have some doubts about this; we have worked on several silicone-related projects at our company, and I’ve never heard of any software packages of this kind (perhaps the level of sophistication of these packages also varies). Moreover, sieve tray towers are used in almost all such cases. If there is any specific and exact information, please share it.
I have dealt with many cases involving sieve plate towers; as long as it is possible to determine the specific components, internal component manufacturers will carry out the calculations. Institutions such as Tianjin University and Hebei University of Technology can also do this kind of calculation, and the results obtained from software simulations are fairly similar. However, when moving from these simulations to actual design, some empirical considerations come into play. For example, what value should be used for plate efficiency? What is the heat transfer coefficient?
Packing companies sell packing materials, and they develop software packages as well in order to sell those packing materials. The profit from a good software package is not necessarily lower than that from selling packing materials; if no money is made from the software packages, then who will be responsible for them? Some design institutes are not very responsible; after receiving the design, they break it down and assign some of the work to filler manufacturers in order to profit from it.

Tianjin University does this quite often; I suggest you go and ask them
