A tool integration framework for dynamic simulation in process engineering

TL;DR: In this article, a sequential modular strategy for the dynamic simulation of particulate process flowsheets is presented and the efficiency of the approach is demonstrated by means of an example process for the crystallization of pentaerythritol.

TL;DR: Prototypical tools for realizing conceptual models and for the execution of simulation are developed in this work, with the assumption that a multiscale simulation is to be carried out by means of integrating existing single-scale models.

TL;DR: Codelco lead the development and implementation of a dynamic simulator for operator training at Codelco Chuquicamata acid plants and generated interest for advanced process control technology.

TL;DR: Computer modeling methods are used to predict the properties of compounds and processes, optimize production processes, and find alternative solutions to problems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed rate-based approach for modeling and simulation of catalytic distillation is presented, including all major aspects of the description of column hydraulics, mass and energy transfer, chemical reactions and thermodynamic non-idealities.

TL;DR: An algorithm for dynamic simulation of chemical engineering systems, using the sequential modular approach, is proposed, where the modules are independent simulators, and are integrated over a common time horizon.

TL;DR: In subsequent papers in this series, SIMMOD is used to study the performance of the simultaneous-modular approach on process simulation and optimization problems, as well as to perform experiments on different numerical strategies for implementing the simultaneously modular approach.

TL;DR: This article discusses an alternative open standards approach that identifies several important classes of PMCs (process modeling components) and defines standard software interfaces for each such class and focuses in particular on CAPE-OPEN (Computer Aided Process Engineering), a major collaborative effort that has been spearheading these developments over the past couple of years.
