Synopsis

Chemical Engineering Process Simulation, Second Edition guides users through chemical processes and unit operations using the main simulation software used in the industrial sector. The book helps predict the characteristics of a process using mathematical models and computer-aided process simulation tools, as well as how to model and simulate process performance before detailed process design takes place. Content coverage includes steady-state and dynamic simulation, process design, control and optimization. In addition, readers will learn about the simulation of natural gas, biochemical, wastewater treatment and batch processes.

• Provides an updated and expanded new edition that contains 60-70% new content
• Guides readers through chemical processes and unit operations using the primary simulation software used in the industrial sector
• Covers the fundamentals of process simulation, theory and advanced applications
• Includes case studies of various difficulty levels for practice and for applying developed skills
• Features step-by-step guides to using UniSim Design, SuperPro Designer, Symmetry, Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus for process simulation novices

From the Back Cover

Chemical Engineering Process Simulation, Second Edition continues to guide you through chemical processes and unit operations using the main simulation software used in the industrial sector. The book helps you predict the characteristics of a process using mathematical models and computer-aided process simulation tools, as well as model and simulate process performance before detailed process design takes place.

Content coverage includes steady and dynamic simulations, the similarities and differences between process simulators, an introduction to operating units, and convergence tips and tricks. You will also learn about the use of simulation for risk studies to enhance process resilience, fault finding in abnormal situations, and for training operators to control the process in difficult situations. This experienced author team combines industry knowledge with effective teaching methods to make an accessible and clear comprehensive guide to process simulation.

This fully revised, updated and expanded second edition covers fully new topics on:

• SuperPro Designer for modelling of biochemical, pharmaceutical, food and wastewater processes
• Aspen ICARUS for economic evaluation
• Use of Aspen HYSYS for distillation modelling
• Simulation and optimisation
• Dynamic simulation
• Use of ICON for basic and advanced topics
