Feature Highlight 33: Utilizing PIPEPHASE through PRO/II

Set up a PRO/II simulation model

Place a PIPEPHASE unit-op on the Flowsheet and connect it with inlet and outlet streams, as shown below. A PIPEPHASE unit-op can be found on the Misellaneous tab of PRO/II icon palette.

 

Double click on the PIPEPHASE unit-op and fill in the required data

• PIPEPHASE version – this can be left as default or select a particular version
• Initialize the unit-op with an existing PIPEPHASE simulation (it is required to have a preconfigured and converged PIPEPHASE model in place)
• Map PRO/II components with that of PIPEPHASE model by select Name or Index from Component mapping menu (it should be ascertained that selected components in PRO/II and PIPEPHASE are identical)
• Connect the appropriate PRO/II stream with a source and sink on PIPEPHASE from Stream 
• Check Define data link specification and provide the data link specification which in this is case is Total liquid volume rate
• Click OK and come out of PRO/II – PIPEPHASE data entry window

Make sure that PIPEPHASE is not running while setting up the PIPEPHASE unit-op in PRO/II or running the PRO/II model
