FACULTY OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROCESS MODELLING& SIMULATION (CPE603)

UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA MAC - JULY 2019

40450 SHAH ALAM -RMZ-

ASSIGNMENT

GIVEN DATE : 1st April 2019

DUE DATE : (Friday: 14th June 2019 by 5.00pm)
SUBMISSION MODE : 1. Hardcopy (Respective lecturer) - Report & ASPEN HYSYS File
2. Softcopy (via email to the repective lecturer) - Report & ASPEN HYSYS File

. Your tasks are:

1. Divide into 3 person per group and decide on the title (chemicals) and the plant capacity for your
group.
2. Simulate the PFD of the process plant that have been selected using ASPEN HYSYS simulation
software.
3. Based on the output of the simulation, produce a technical report based on items (a)-(g)
(a) Introduction of the process (Description on the overall process, technology used and
details on production and purity)
(b) Justification the choice of the fluid package used in your simulation works (usage of
multiple fluid packages)
(c) The choice and sequence of the equipment used in the plant (e.g suitable heat exchange
equipment)
(d) Separation process efficiency used in the plant
(e) The choice of process conditions selected
(f) The fluid flow principles applied (backflow, pressure drop across equipment/in pipeline,
pressure profile in column/vessel)
(g) Suggestions for the optimum process conditions that should be applied to improve the
overall production process/design and the feasibility of the process.
(h) Conclusion
(i) References
(j) Appendix – Enclose all the relevant documents including
i. Simulation page (complete with stream table)
ii. Workbook (retyping of the workbook output is not allowed)

ADDITIONAL NOTES
• Decisions made based on the heuristics of chemical process engineering (with reference) will
receive extra marks
• The PFD of your simulation must be included in the report.
• The simulation result for each component should be in mass fraction, instead of mole fraction.
• Suggested total time spent for the report only: 10 to 12 hours (for 1500 to 2000 words report)
• Total time spent for modelling: 12 hours
• This assignment contributes to 25% of the overall marks for the course.
