91 81 Reactor Volume M3 71 61 51 41 31 21 11 1 0.75 0.85 Fractional Conversion 0.95 Series1

Chemcad can be used for sensitivity analysis where one can vary one parameter and see the effect of it on any related parameter in a flow sheet. This features can be effectively used for many process design like locating the optimum feed plate in a distillation column, or determining optimum volume of a reactor. , g p Multiple Independent Variables and recorded variables permitted in sensitivity analysis

Optimization Routine

Chemcad has a powerful optimization package where the user can

define the objective Function and optimize the selected parameters

Plot Options

Chemcad has a power plot options which allows to generate plots for VLE,
LLE, Binodal Plot, Residue Curves, Solid Liquid Equilibrium, Property of any stream in the flow sheet, properties of any components, Composite Heat sheet components Curve, Column Profiles, Pipe Profile Reactor Profile etc. This greatly help in analyzing a process problem

The one completed new plant is operating successfully. Because of the simulation model, it employs two columns in a distillation train that uses three in an older facility. This led to a capital cost savings of $250,000 for a single project. Anthony J Nocera, Manager of Process Technology, Great Lakes Chemicals y g gy With this new software (Chemcad), it is unbelievable that I can accomplish in a day what used to take two or three weeksIncreasing capacity is the most important part of this project. By removing the stripper bottleneck, the combined annual steam and electrical savings are $320,000/year. Terry Funkhauser, Chief Process Engineer, Texas Petrochemicals A pipe fouling issue had plagued the feed to a particular distillation, and while discussing alternatives it was decided to look at a simulation of the column on ChemcadThe tower profile didnt look optimized, so an alternative simulation with a new feed tray location was run, and significantly reduced energy usage was ou d s esu t, $ 0,000/yea o stea as sa ed add t o a be e t as foundAs a result, $120,000/year of steam was saved. An additional benefit has been a more stable column with less impurity in the product. Senior Principal Engineer, Anonymous Chemicals
