How to remove moisture from a material
Thread Content
I’m a beginner; I used PROII to conduct a simple simulation, and the resulting product contains water. Now I want to remove this water – what method should I use? No device similar to a water separator was found. .
It seems I didn’t explain myself clearly; I want to remove the water and then proceed to another reactor. . .
In the selected thermodynamic method, after going to modify→water options and selecting decant water as a pure phase, use the flash unit operation with a pressure drop of 0 and a duty of 0. In the middle of the product material is the first liquid phase (with a small amount of water dissolved if the chosen thermodynamic method supports VLL calculations), and the water that is separated out is found in the lower part.
It can also be done using a stream calculator, with the material entering from the side line of the stream calculator. Two streams emerge from the top and bottom of the tower; set the recovery rate for other components to 1, and set the water recovery rate to 0
Isn’t separating water as a pure component inconsistent with the actual situation? I think it’s better to use thermodynamic equations that allow for the calculation of VLE.
