Designing a Process Flowsheet

Design of Optimal Process Flowsheet for Fractional Crystallization Separation Process

A procedure is presented that synthesizes fractional crystallization separation processes to obtain pure solids from multi-component solutions. The method includes a procedure to generate a network flow model to identify alternative process designs for fractional crystallization. The main advantage of this systematic procedure with respect to other reported procedures is using non-equilibri...

Integrate Process Simulation and Process Synthesis

CEP www.cepmagazine.org October 2005 25 The design of a chemical process involves synthesis and analysis. Process synthesis is the overall development of a process flowsheet by combining individual steps (equipment and operating conditions) into an optimal arrangement. Process analysis breaks down the flowsheet to evaluate the performance of each individual element as well as how the overall pr...

Molecular Signature Descriptors for Integrated Flowsheet and Molecular Design

The reverse problem formulation is a technique for solution of integrated process and product design problems from a properties perspective. In this work, an algorithm is introduced for reverse problem formulations using property operators based on molecular signature descriptors. A general framework has been developed for the integration of flowsheet design techniques with the solution of comb...
