On oil refining simulation
Thread Content
Dear experts, I am working on a major assignment related to oil refining, but I don’t know how to enter many of the parameters. I earnestly request that you share simplified algorithms for the Aspen oil refining module; thank you very much.
Chapter 11 of the book “Aspen Plus Tutorial for Chemical Process Simulation Training” can be used as a reference.
However, the initial values of the flow rates and production volumes at No. 1 Middle School Loop and No. 2 Middle School Ring, as well as the amount of steam consumed, are unknown
It’s also in Teacher Bao’s book. . .
The key is to know the method and steps for determining the parameters :)
There are dedicated modules for oil refining; specific aspects such as heat extraction from the middle part of the process and side-stream product extraction require in-depth study through books on petroleum refining engineering.
Okay, thank you. There is a question: shouldn’t the initial values of these data be able to be calculated simply using SCFrac?
