Estimating Component Data

#

TASK

In this exercise, you will use PRO/II and DATAPREP to create a userdefined component and predict its properties. To demonstrate the accuracy of the predictive methods, we will try to reproduce the properties of
acetone:

O
H3C

CH3

Retrieve the physical properties of acetone from PRO/II. Compare them

with those that result from estimating the component properties in the
procedures outlined below.
Part A

Define acetone as a user-defined library component with a different

name. Given its molecular structure above, use the UNIFAC structure
and the fill option to generate all the component properties of acetone. In
the second run add NBP = 329.44 K and see how the component properties change.

Part B

Supply the Joback structure and use the modified Joback methods within
DATAPREP to estimate all the component properties of acetone (under
a different name) with and without the NBP data.

SOLUTION -  Use the following steps to enter ACETONE2 as a user-defined component.

Part A
Step 1

Create a User-Defined Component

Click the Component Selection button to open the Component Selection dialog box.

Click User-defined... .

Name your component ACETONE2 and click Add -> .

it resides in memory and is not added into a database.

Select the type of structure: <1> UNIFAC, <2> Joback.

Move the cursor up and down and enter the number of occurrences
of each function group next to the appropriate identification number.

UNIFAC: one 900 group and one 1300 group

Joback: two -CH3 groups and one >C=O (non-ring) group

When finished, return to the main menu and use the File Utilities and
Process Simulation options to write the data to a PRO/II keyword
input format.

Again, you can enter specific data, such as the NBP, to increase the
accuracy of the prediction. Table 2 compares the properties predicted
with DATAPREP against published data.

SOLUTION
Step 1

Create a New Simulation

Select New... from the File menu.

Note that several buttons on the toolbar, including the Run button have
red borders. When you have satisfied PRO/II's input requirements all red
borders will disappear.
Step 2

Build the Process Flow Diagram

If the PFD palette is not already visible, click the PFD Palette button on
the toolbar to bring it up. Click on the appropriate unit icons on the PFD
palette to draw the PFD. To select and position a unit, just click on its
icon.
A pointer with a box and flash drum attached appears. Move this to the
main window and click again when the unit is in position.
In this manner, select and position the units as shown in the diagram
using these PFD buttons:

Click on the red-bordered Streams on the PFD palette.

Note that the pointer now has an S attached to it. All available exit ports
appear on each unit once you select Streams . Required exit ports are
red and optional exit ports are green.

Getting Started Workbook

Draw the streams on the flowsheet to connect the units.

After your first click, only the available feed ports are shown in red or
green.

Note:

Although not critical in this example, it is good practice to connect the FLASH DRUM hydrocarbon liquid product to the side
port and to reserve the bottom port for a decanted water or second liquid product.

Double-click on each stream and unit and change its name to that
shown on the diagram above. Do not change any other data in the
dialog box.

Click OK to exit the dialog box. Note that spaces are not allowed in
unit or stream names.

The completed PFD should now look like Figure 5 below.

Figure 5:
Chiller Plant PFD in
PRO/II

After you finish building the flowsheet, the labels of all the internal
streams are black and the available ports of all the units are green. At this
point, all the unit labels have red borders and the border of the feed
stream label is also red because you must still add data. Note that the
border of Streams is black, indicating that you have entered all necessary data for this function. To exit the stream connection mode, rightclick, or click on Streams so that it turns gray, indicating that the mode
is no longer active.

Step 3

Modify the Input Units of Measure

Before continuing, save the simulation as CHILL1.PRZ.

Click on the green-bordered Units of Measure (UOM) button on the

toolbar to verify the units of measure used in this simulation.

Chiller Plant - Part 1

For this example you will use either modified SI units or modified
English units. Click Initialize from Library.... and select ENGLISHSET1 or SI-SET1 from the drop-down list.

Check each item that it matches the input data given in the tables
above.

Make any necessary changes and click OK .

Notice that the border of the UOM button is now blue indicating that you
have modified the data.
Step 4

Define the Components

Click on the red-bordered Component Selection button on the toolbar.

or m3 and day. Click Change Units to return to the dialog box.

Enter the individual component mole percentages into the component grid. You can move down the list using the <Tab> key. After
entering the composition data, check that the total equals 100.

Click OK to exit each dialog box and return to the PFD.

You do not need to enter data for any streams other than the INLET_GAS
(the external feed stream to the process) because PRO/II calculates the
others for you, based on your process conditions.
Step 7

Enter Operating Conditions for Each Unit Operation

Double-click on each unit in turn and enter the required data including the unit identifier.

Enter data for flash drum D-1. The First Specification is Pressure
and the Second Specification is Temperature.

Enter data for flash drum D-2. The First Specification is Pressure
Drop and the Second Specification is Duty. The duty of an adiabatic
flash is zero.

Note:

As you return to the PFD after each unit operation, its unit
identifier has changed from red (data missing) to black (data
satisfied).

Enter data for heat exchanger HX-1.

Note:

By default, the horizontal stream is the hot side and the vertical
stream is the cold side. Here this means that the utility stream
is the cold side. You could use this dialog box to change the
stream allocations if the reverse were true.

Click Specification... to set the heat exchanger specification.

click Utility Stream... and choose Refrigerant as the Utility Type.
Select Propane from the Component list and enter the saturation temperature.

Note:

PRO/II's refrigerant utility, used in unit HX-3, considers only

latent heat effects, so the refrigerant inlet and outlet conditions
are a saturated liquid and a saturated vapor, respectively.

At this point there should not be any red borders on the flowsheet. All
stream and unit labels should have black borders. If any of the unit or
stream labels has a red border, double-click on it and check the data.
Step 3

TASK

Continue to build the chiller plant. Suppose that the refrigerant for the
chiller HX-3 consists of a mixture rather than pure propane. You want to
determine the flowrate of that mixture required to maintain a process
stream (hotside) outlet temperature of -15F (-26C). Instead of using the
HEAT EXCHANGER refrigerant utility in PRO/II, which is designed for use
with single components, you now must introduce a refrigerant stream,
with the correct composition, and use a CONTROLLER to determine the

Getting Started Workbook

Place a COMPRESSOR, two MIXERs and a COLUMN on the PFD. Connect the streams as shown in Figure 18. Name the units and streams.

21

When you place the column, you will be asked to give the number of
theoretical trays and to state whether the column has a condenser and a
reboiler. Note that the Table 7 gives actual trays and tray efficiency.
From this you must calculate the number of theoretical trays in the body
of the column (22*55% = 12 stages). The kettle reboiler is simulated as a
theoretical stage and thus is stage 13. This column has no condenser.
When complete, the PFD should look similar to Figure 19.

TASK

Suppose that a nearby refinery has been shut down and some columns
are available at bargain prices. Your company is exploring a joint venture with the Royal Gas Company to build a fractionation plant as shown
in Figure 23 to process the liquids from your chiller plant and their plant.

You have been asked to provide a quick design for such a plant. To save
time, you want to perform a shortcut analysis. SHORTCUT COLUMNs are
unsupported in PROVISION. However, using keyword input files you
can run the problem in either Run Batch or Run-Only mode. Use the
keyword input file, CHILL5.INP, found in the TRAINING directory, to
determine the number of theoretical trays, feed locations, and approximate reflux ratios for the three distillation columns.

SOLUTION
Step 1

Import the Keyword Input File

Select Import... from the File menu. Import the keyword input file
from the TRAINING directory.

CHILL5.INP

A message will appear indicating that unsupported features were found

in your keyword file. You can examine a list of these features by clicking Yes .

Getting Started Workbook

Close the Flowsheet Status dialog box to continue.

Step 2

Run the Simulation and View the Results

You will have been automatically placed into Run-Only mode. Run the
simulation and create an output file.
Read the results from the output (Figure 24). For example, for the deethanizer column, the recommended number of theoretical trays is 24,
which is twice the calculated Fenske minimum trays. For a 24 tray column, the feed should be introduced at tray 13.

TASK

The process shown in Figure 32 preheats a stream that is fed to a distillation column. The flash drum vaporizes 40 mole percent of the feed, and
the heat exchanger further heats the flash drum liquid. Both the flash
drum and heat exchanger have 1 psi (6.9 kPa) pressure drops. A total of
1.0 MM Btu/hr (1.05 MM kJ/hr) is available to the process.
Find the liquid fraction and temperature of the PROD stream and the two
duties.
Table 13 shows the feed composition and condition. Use the NRTL thermodynamic system, but replace its default vapor enthalpy and vapor
density methods with SRKM.

 SOLUTION

To vaporize 40% of the flash drum feed, use the following stream specification:

The duty available to the heat exchanger is 1 MM Btu/hr (1.05 MM kJ/

hr) minus however much duty the flash drum requires to vaporize 40%
of its feed. Since the flash duty is unknown before the run, you cannot
assign a value to the heat exchanger's duty. Instead, you should have
PRO/II calculate the FLASH duty, and use the define feature to pass the
calculated flash duty to the heat exchanger. The Define statement for the
HEAT EXCHANGER will has the form:

TASK

This exercise illustrates the differences between a rigorous VLLE flash

and a VLE flash with the water decant option. Simulate a three phase
separator as an isothermal flash at 300F and 300 psia for the crude
stream given in the tables below. Use VLLE SRK Kabadi-Danner
(SRKKD) thermodynamics and VLE SRK thermodynamics with the
water decant option, along with the three different water solubility correlations. Print the K-values for one of the VLE flash units and for the
VLLE flash.
This exercise allows you to answer the following questions:

Is the assumption of a pure water phase valid for this simulation?

How do the results vary with respect to the water solubility correlations?

 SOLUTION

Defining four thermodynamic sets allows PRO/II to flash the feed isothermally four times within one simulation run.
Figure 33 shows the Flash Drum Summary, which only reports the water
decant flashes. There are three FLASH DRUMs, one for each of the solubility correlations: SIMSCI, KEROSENE, and EOS. PRO/II reports the total
liquid mole fraction and breaks down the liquid phases into the liquid
hydrocarbon phase and the free water phase. Note that PRO/II provides
this type of report only when you invoke the water decant option for a
hydrocarbon-water system. You can observe that the three solubility
methods produce very similar results for this problem.
The K-value printout for the first FLASH unit (DCNT-SIMSCI) follows the
standard Flash Drum Summary. This report gives the vapor and liquid
mole fractions and the K-value for each component, providing you with
information about the relative volatilities of the components of the products. If you choose to lump the vapor and liquid phases into one product,
you can obtain the relative compositions of the different phases in the
product.

Hydrocarbon-Water Phase Separation

Figure 34 shows the three-phase Flash Drum Summary from the output
report. Note that this summary only reports the rigorous VLLE FLASH
units. If you invoke the VLLE option for a FLASH, but only one liquid
phase exists, then PRO/II provides the results in the standard Flash
Drum Summary. The results for the rigorous three-phase FLASH are very
similar to those in Figure 33. The vapor and liquid mole fractions for
each component in the three product phases are at the end of the standard
three-phase Flash Drum Summary. PRO/II uses these results to calculate
the two sets of K-values. You can obtain a set of LLE K-values by dividing the second set of VLE K-values by the first.

Table 17 compares the different product flowrates for each of the four
flash types. Note that PRO/II breaks down the two liquid phases into
hydrocarbon and water content. For this example the second liquid
(water) phase contains only 0.04 mol % (0.9/2211.7) of hydrocarbon.
All three solubility correlations give similar results for the total flowrate
of each product. The rigorous three-phase FLASH with SRKKD thermodynamics results in significantly more water in the hydrocarbon phase
and thus less water in the water-dominated phase, than any of the three
VLE FLASH units with water decant.

Water Solubility Method

The best method for selecting a VLLE or a VLE thermodynamic system

with a water solubility correlation is to compare the simulation results of
each system with actual process data. Since this is not always possible,
the PRO/II Keyword Manual and the PRO/II Reference Manual provide
guidelines for the selection of an appropriate thermodynamic system and
water solubility correlation.

Phase Envelope
#

TASK

A vapor stream normally condenses when you increase pressure and/or

decrease temperature. Under certain conditions, however, it is possible
for a vapor stream to undergo partial condensation as its pressure is
reduced (at a fixed temperature) or as its temperature is increased (at a
fixed pressure). This counter-intuitive phenomenon, called retrograde
condensation, is particularly important in the production of petroleum
from deep gas wells.
Typically, as a gas is brought to the surface its pressure decreases until it
matches that of the receiving vessel, which is at ambient temperature.
The pressure of the vessel is set to lie in the two-phase region at that
temperature so that partial condensation of the gas occurs. The condensed liquid, enriched in the more-valuable heavy components, is
recovered. The remaining vapor is repressurized and injected back into
the well.

You want to examine the characteristics of the gas in the receiving vessel so that you can make a decision about the pressure required to maximize the amount of liquid condensed.
Generate a phase envelope plot for the feed stream. Also generate lines
of constant liquid mole fraction at 5%, 10% and 15%.
At an ambient temperature of 50F (10C), what pressure will be needed
to maximize the production of liquid?

SOLUTION

After defining the components and thermodynamic method, add a

stream to the flowsheet and enter stream data. Add a Phase Envelope to
the flowsheet.
In the Phase Envelope dialog box, select the feed stream in the first row
of the grid. In the second row, select the feed stream and enter a Liquid
Mole Fraction of 0.05. In the same way, enter the other liquid mole fractions in rows three and four. Click on Plot Options , change Individual
to Comparison for each curve, and enter 1 through 5 for Plot Symbols.
Plot five graphs: one for each of the plots and one showing all the plots
together. Run the simulation. Select Output/Generate Plot... from the

TASK

A debutanizer removes C4 and lighter components from a mixed Naphtha and LPG feed stream. The Naphtha feed has been changed and you
must ensure that the column can still meet the process requirements such
as product recoveries and column duties.

The VLE and enthalpies of natural gas systems are generally modeled
well by equations of state such as Peng-Robinson or Soave-RedlichKwong. However, these methods are less good at predicting liquid density so a different method, such as COSTALD or API, should be used.
Hint:

Getting Started Workbook

Use the Define feature to set the overhead rate from the column as all the C4 and lighter components in the column feed.

53

Answer the following questions:

1. Can the column still recover 99% of the C4 components overhead
with a loss of only 1% of the C5 components?
2. What are the duties on the condenser and reboiler?
3. What is the reflux ratio?

SOLUTION

As the column has converged with the required recovery specifications,

it can clearly cope with the new service.

TASK

An existing heat exchanger runs with a shellside outlet temperature of

161F. You want to increase the throughput of the exchanger and need to
calculate the shellside outlet temperature under the new conditions. Set
up the simulation of the exchanger. This exercise is in two parts:

Part A

Determine the fouling of the heat exchanger under present operating

conditions.

Part B

Using the fouling results from Part A, rate the existing fouled exchanger
for the increased throughput.
The flowsheet, stream and process data are provided below.

 SOLUTION
Part A

Determine the fouling of the heat exchanger under current operating

conditions. In this part of the exercise, you require a shellside outlet temperature of 161F.
Build the flowsheet and enter the UOM, components, and thermodynamic data, as usual. Enter stream data.
Step 1

Enter Unit Data

In this example, the shellside outlet temperature is given and we want to
determine the fouling resistance. Select Shell Outlet Temperature from
the list and enter the value in the Temperature field.

Click each button and enter the appropriate data. Fields outlined in
green means that, if you do not enter a value, PRO/II calculates one.

In the Film Coefficients dialog box, set the tubing fouling resistance
to 0.

You want PRO/II to calculate an overall fouling resistance to meet the

specification. You could supply values for both the tubeside and a shellside fouling resistances and have PRO/II adjust them to meet the performance specification. However, for simplicity, it is easier to set the
tubeside fouling resistance to zero and allow PRO/II to report the calculated overall resistance as the required shellside resistance.

Click Print Options... to check the Extended box to request an additional data sheet with information about stream properties, heat
exchanger configuration and hydrodynamics.

Run the simulation and view the results. Make a note of the required
shellside fouling resistance.

Two Stage Compressor

#

TASK

A natural gas stream is compressed before entering a pipeline. The

stream is first compressed to 12 bar and then to 26 bar. Liquid condenses
in the compressor aftercoolers and is recycled back to the previous stage.
The liquid product is removed from the feed flash.

Part A

Answer the following questions:

1. What are the amounts of liquid and vapor leaving the process?
2. What compressor work is required for each stage?
3. What are the stream temperatures entering the aftercoolers?
4. What are the aftercooler duties?

Part B

If you have time, answer the following questions:

1. Can the same information still be obtained with fewer units in the
flowsheet? If so, simulate it and check that the data are available and
that the values are the same as in the original calculation.
2. Assuming that you only want to know the product streams from the
process, simulate the process with the minimum number of units
required.

SOLUTION
Part A

The actual work is 43808 HP (32456 kW) for C-1 and 42804 HP (30893
kW) for C-2.
The temperatures entering the aftercooler are shown on the compressor
output and on the stream results. They are 196.5F (93.3C) for C-1 and
214.9F (103.7C) for C-2.
The aftercooler duties are 80.1x106 Btu/hr (82.9x106 kJ/hr) for HX-1
and 153.9x106 Btu/hr (152.6x106 kJ/hr) for HX-2.

1. The heat exchangers are not required. You could omit these and use
the aftercooler option on the compressor. All the information
requested is still available.
2. If you only need the product stream information, compressor C-2
(and its aftercooler) may be removed. Set the flash D-3 to the conditions leaving the aftercooler and the products will be identical. You
cannot remove C-1 as the temperature of D-2 is unknown. Liquid
from D-3 is flashed into the drum and reduces the temperature below
the aftercooler exit temperature. However, to simplify the flowsheet,
C-1 and its aftercooler could be replaced by a flash drum.

Propylene Chlorination Reactor

#

TASK

In a propylene chlorination plant, chlorine reacts with propylene to produce allyl chloride, 1,2-dichloropropane, 1,3-dichloropropene and
hydrogen chloride. The reaction takes place at 800F (425C) and 70
psia (5 kg/cm2) in a homogeneous gas phase reactor and the resulting
products are separated in a fractionation section. Most of the unreacted
propylene is recycled back to the reactor. The reactor volume is 10 ft3
(0.3 m3). For a product flowrate estimate, lets assume that nearly all the
chlorine is converted, i.e., Cl2 in S13 = 1% CL2 flowrate.

Reaction rates are in kg-mole/m3hr. Activation energies are in kcal/kg-mole.

SOLUTION
Step 1

Build the flowsheet and enter the UOM, components, and thermodynamic data, as usual.
Enter Reaction Data

In the Reaction Data dialog box, enter a Reaction Set Name and
click Enter Data... . The Reaction Definitions dialog box appears.

There are three reactions. In the first row of the grid, enter a name
for the first reaction.

Click on the Reactants = Products text to open the Reaction Components dialog box.

In the first reaction, one mole of chlorine reacts with one mole of propylene to form one mole of allyl chloride and one mole of hydrogen chloride, as shown below in Figure 57.

Propylene Chlorination Reactor

Enter the stoichometric data for the second and third reactions in a similar manner until all three Reaction Definitions are blue in the Reaction
Definitions dialog box.
The equations conform to the default Power Law Kinetic Rate Calculation Method so you do not need to change this, just enter the data.
Figure 58:
Reaction Definitions

For the first reaction, click K... to enter kinetic data.

Since this reaction takes place in the vapor phase, change the Default
Phase to Vapor.

The completed dialog box is shown below.
