When simulating with PROII, a reduction of three or four is applied; how is such reconstituted feedstock generally entered?
Thread Content
During PROII simulation, generally three or four lines are deducted; for the light oil obtained from propane deasphalting, how is such a heavy-component feedstock usually entered? Are petroleum components defined based on physical properties such as density and viscosity? Please help, I would be extremely grateful!
Generally, it should work by entering the petroleum components. Enter based on boiling range and density.
What if there is no boiling range? Only the reduction of three lines and viscosity are provided – how to simulate this? What I want to understand is the extraction tower in furfural purification. How to simulate raw materials? How to separate the refined liquid at the top of the extraction tower from the waste liquid at the bottom?
Is there anyone expert who can help me? Thank you!
The process that the original poster needs to simulate must be achieved using molecular simulation techniques for oils. I suggest the original poster try other software.
I think oil molecule simulation software is way too complex. I checked, and they are all used by research institutions.
Just do a distillation range test on a sample; it doesn’t cost that much. Relying solely on viscosity and density is not reliable enough, as there are simply too many types of oils.
The boiling range is more reliable :); I usually enter the boiling range
If using PROII for simulation, at least the boiling range and density are required. :)
