Introduction

Honeywell UniSim Operations utilizes dynamic Operator Training Simulator

(OTS) technology to help train process operators for production by presenting
operating scenarios in the process training simulator before they enter the
control room. This solution accelerates knowledge transfer by consolidating an
entire lifetime of experience into a concise field and console operator training
curriculum.

 The software product UniSimDesign Suite R390 of Honeywell is given up to

the UCTM-Sofia for academic needs. UniSim is intuitive and interactive
process modeling tool that offers unified decisions to keep high efficiency over
the life cycle of the technological equipment – from the offline design through
steady state simulation, analysis of different control strategies, operators
training, online usage for control and optimization, productivity control and
business planning. UniSim extends the capabilities of Honeywell’s Experion®
Process Knowledge System (PKS) by improving its ability to gather data
throughout the plant and coupling it with process knowledge embedded in
process simulation models, so called Scenario Manager. UniSim software, but
not the academic one, is also designed to integrate with Invensys, Siemens,
Yokogawa, Emerson and ABB advanced control and operator training systems.
The purpose of this paper is first to illustrate the opportunities of UniSim®
Design Suite for development of technological model for a distillation
installation for ethanol and on the other hand to show how with the assistance of
the XML and WEB interface it can be used to test different scenario and
strategies for control of the distillation process. Server version of the system,
intended for 100 work stations and distributed control system are used for the
purpose.

UniSim Exchanger:

Design and optimize heat exchanger networks, perform pinch analyses, and balance the
capital and operating costs. The optional Exchanger Net Operations module may be used to
monitor the plant operation of the heat exchanger networks and understand the impact of
different modes of operation on operating costs.

UniSim Flare:

Design new flare and vent systems, or rate and debottleneck existing systems that no longer
meet plant safety requirements.

UniSim Refining Reactors:

Built within the UniSim EO environment, the Refining Reactor modules provide kinetic,
medium-high fidelity unit operations that reflect refinery conversion units. The following
modules are currently available: hydrocracker, hydrotreater, catalytic reformer, isomerization
and alkylation reactors. The refining reactor modules can be calibrated using engineering data
or real plant data, leveraging the data reconciliation utility in UniSim Design. Also, in
conjunction with the LP vector generation utility, the refining reactors may be used to
generate LP vectors, for use and tuning of scheduling and planning tools.

UniSim Heat Exchangers:

Our UHX suite of products for thermal specialists to design, check, simulate and rate heat
exchange equipment, based on 35 years of industry collaboration and research. Integrated
with UniSim Design, users can quickly identify opportunities for capital savings in the
overall process design. Honeywell also offers the HTRI Xchanger Suite and HTRI XSimOp
modules bundled together with the respective UHX modules, as an alternative to HTRI
subscription.

The intensive application of UniSim Design is due to four key aspects:

A. Event driven operations - This concept combines the power of interactive simulation
with instantaneous access to information. Interactive simulation means the
information is processed as it is supplied and calculations are performed
automatically. Also, you are not restricted to the program location where the
information is supplied.

B. Module operations - Modular Operations are combined with the Non-Sequential solution
algorithm. Not only is information processed as it is supplied, but the results of any
calculation are automatically produced throughout the flow sheet, both forwards and
backwards. The modular structure of the operations means they can be calculated in either
direction, using information in an outlet stream to calculate inlet conditions. Process
understanding is gained at every step because the operations calculate automatically and
results are seen immediately.

C. Multi - flowsheet architecture. Multi-flowsheet architecture can be used to create any

number of flowsheets within a simulation and to easily associate a fluid package with a
defined group of unit operations.

D. Object oriented design. The separation of interface elements (how the information
appears) from the underlying engineering code means the same information appears
simultaneously in a variety of locations. Each display is tied to the same process variable, so
if the information changes, it automatically updates in every location. Also, if a variable is
specified, then it is shown as a specification in every location. This means the specification
can be changed wherever it appears and you are not restricted to a single location for making
change

:Producing 300 Million Pounds per Year of Ethylene in a Plug Flow Reactor
Design of a Full-Scale Tubular Reactor
C2H6 → C2H4 + H2
Ethylene ranks first in the United States in total pounds of organic chemica
produced each year, and it is the number one organic chemical produced each year
Determine the plug-flow reactor volume necessary to produce 300 million pounds
of ethylene a year from cracking a feed stream of pure ethane. The reaction is
irreversible and follows an elementary rate law. We want to achieve 80%
conversion of ethane, operating the reactor isothermally at 1100 K and at a
pressure of 6 atm The specific reaction rate at 1,000 K is 0.072s-1 and the
activation energy is 82.000 cal/gmol. choose peng-robinson
