How is the critical point of a system calculated?

Posted on 21:00 by Unknown
How is the critical point of a system calculated in PRO/II?

In the phase envelope the true critical point, cricondentherm, and cricondenbar are determined using the method of Michelsen.

In the HCURVE, the critical properties are determined according to the appropriate thermo method and the mixing rules of that thermo method.




About PRO/II: PRO/II is the major product in the Process Engineering Suite (PES). This process simulation software optimizes plant performance by improving process design, operational analysis, and performing engineering studies. It is designed to perform rigorous heat and material balance calculations for a wide range of chemical processes. PRO/II allows users to evaluate the use of heat integration with case studies, rigorously evaluate process improvements with the help of a process flow diagram (PFD), or model crude distillation units. PRO/II offers a wide variety of thermodynamic models to virtually every industry and is incredibly cost effective, decreasing both capital and operating costs.
Technical Support: As always, feel free to reach out to your local technical support team for more information.

EPA's New Proposed Chemical Controls Could Affect Refining Ops
by Lindsay Meyer, Allison D. Foley & Amanda C. Blunt Mondaq Business Briefing
February 18, 2013

Companies involved in petroleum refining operations or that import chemical substances used in such operations should be aware of a recent regulatory proposal issued by U.S. EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that could impact their operations.

Free Webinar tomorrow! How to improve refinery profitability with real-time, online, optimization

Posted on 21:30 by Unknown
Invensys Operations Management
The Refinery-Wide Optimization Webinar Series
How to improve refinery profitability with real-time, online, optimization

Feb 28Thur, Feb 28
2 p.m. EST [19:00 GMT]

Who should attend
Plant managers, Operations managers

Why attend

Learn the typical applications and benefits of real-time online    optimization:
  • How it improves performance
  • How it helps you make better business decisions
  • How it increases refinery profitability
  • And which real-time optimization solution best fits your needs
As the price of raw materials, utilities, and refined products change, sometimes by the minute, maximizing profitability means having an optimization program – at the unit and plant wide levels – that can adapt to variable economic data and operating conditions in real time.

A global refinery leader says… “We estimate that optimization yields over $500 million in value per year!”

The ability to view what is happening at your plant in real time will enable you to make better, more timely business decisions. And that's critical for optimizing operations and improving refinery profitability. Learn the importance of real-time optimization for your plant and see how failure to implement an optimization solution may leave your company unable to compete with other leading refineries.

Another leading oil company says… ”For every $25 we invest in optimization, we achieve $1,000 in benefits!”

SmartFire solution

Posted on 09:00 by Unknown
Guest Blogger: Kaylen McMullen, Marketing Assistant, Invensys Operations Management
The SmartFire solution from Invensys is based on an extension to the Connoisseur Advanced Process Control (APC) software. This solution is a boiler optimization application that offers multivariable model predictive control and neural networks. It is often applied to bias furnace air flow distribution and address O2 imbalances and regions of high CO. The original application needed some adjustments in order for it to achieve its fullest potential. It was decided that improvements could be made if this offering could automatically determine more optimum air/fuel settings at individual dampers.
           SmartFire completes the boiler optimization offering from Invensys by compensating for a phenomenon in coal fired boilers known as roping. Roping occurs when pulverized coal is fed to a utility boiler causing disruption to the distribution of coal flow to the coal pipes that supply the burners. This imbalanced distribution causes some regions of the furnace to have more fuel and others to have less fuel.
SmartFire continuously tests the APC system and adapts the models to capture the characteristics of shifting relationships. Operators do not interfere with this process, which optimizes work performance and greatly enhances the bottom line. This solution offers significant improvements in boiler efficiency. After testing the system, there were estimated benefits of $78,000 a year - in addition to the benefits of APC which typically exceed $500,000. This shortens the payback period and is truly unique to the Invensys APC offering.

Reader Survey Results

Posted on 04:15 by Unknown

Here are the results from my reader survey. Not surprising that over 70% of my readers are engineers.


The "other" responses included a journalist and a dynamics analyst. 


Again, not surprising is that most of my readers are from upstream oil and gas or hydrocarbon processing since that is where SimSci-Esscor simulation software is used most.  The "other" response was from a student.




Any thoughts or comments? Is there a question that I should ask my readers in the future?

Learn about assay knowledge management?

Posted on 21:30 by Unknown

Guest Blogger, Emma Price, Customer Relationship Manager for Spiral Software
Spiral was founded with a vision to transform the oil industry’s use of software, helping to maximise the value of every drop of crude oil. The inspiration behind this was twofold.
Firstly, the evolving industry context creates new challenges and opportunities. Refiners are seeing a more diverse feedstock market than ever before—diverse in both quality and pricing. There are now many crude oils available which present some processing challenges in return for a discounted market price. At the same time, product specifications are becoming more stringent and legislation is tightening around safer operational limits. Put together, this makes a confident understanding of feedstock refining behaviour more important than it has ever been.
Secondly, the new capabilities of information technology enable effective collaboration, even across huge global organisations. It is perfectly realistic to gather real-time information from operating sites and provide meaningful analytics that help users collaborate to make the best possible decisions. This is the step from looking at assay data as simply a set of laboratory measurements to seeing it as “assay knowledge”: bringing together assay measurement with operational data, refinery models, past experience, market information and even news feeds.
This is what we mean by “assay knowledge management” and since 1998, our tools span this whole space: from traditional implementations at laboratories that help them validate and work-up assay data, through to oil major implementations with over 2,500 users in a single enterprise, spanning every area of the business, across upstream exploration, feedstock trading, strategy and operations.
This pushes well outside the bounds of legacy assay management software. For example, some of the largest commodity trading companies use our tools to run thousands of cases to understand how markets would react to feedstock and refining capacity changes. In parallel, engineering and consulting companies use our tools to analyse strategic investments, understanding the future value and risk of capital investments and green field developments.

Repost: Line Sizing using PRO/II

Posted on 02:43 by Unknown

Line Sizing using PRO/II

1.       Place a Pipe unit-op on the flowsheet and attach it with inlet and outlet stream.

2.       Select the units of measure, components and thermodynamics as required.

3.       Input the stream data.

4.       Double click on the Pipe unit-op to open its Data Entry Window and select the Line Sizing – Forward Calculation radio button.



5.       Click on Line/Fitting Data and enter the line or fitting data


         Click OK.


6.       Click on Line Sizing data and enter the required information



        The primary sizing criterion is based on pressure so enter either a maximum pressure drop or minimum outlet pressure. User can also change the Pipe Diameters that are used in sizing search and the maximum Average Fluid Velocity.

7.      Run the simulation and view results. There are many ways of viewing the results the below is a snapshot of results in html format.
