Description

Dynamic Simulation for chemical engineers using advanced simulation tools Welcome to our advanced Dynamic Simulation course using Aspen-HYSYS / Aspen-Plus/ UnisimWhat is Dynamic Condition in Plant? Why Dynamic Simulation?Condition in which parameters are changing with respect to time, it's called dynamic condition. E.g. when we take start up of the plant, levels in the vessels, temperatures, pressures, flow rates are changing. Shut down of the plant is similar situation as start up where parameters are changing with time. Similar situation is during malfunctioning of either equipment or instruments. E.g. if distillation column in a plant is running in a steady state mode, what happen if there is sudden trip of the pump supplying cooling water to the condenser? suddenly, pressure of the column starts shooting up. This is one example, but there are so many examples in the plant.Now, the question is how to tackle with dynamic condition. The answer is by introducing control systems, like pressure control, level control, flow control and temperature control. The function of any control system is to suppress the disturbance in the plant and bring plant once again into steady state condition.Application of Dynamic SimulationWhen parameters in the plant are changing, it cannot be modelled as steady state, or we cannot carry out steady state simulation to explain dynamic behavior as well as reliability of control systems to counter dynamic behavior. To study the transient behavior and effectiveness of the control system to control the transient behavior, Dynamic Simulation needs to be carried out.Dynamic simulation as an engineering tool is being used for carrying out simulation of various chemical, petrochemical plants, refineries, cross country pipelines etc.Dynamic simulation is also used to check the reliability of the pressure relief systems introduce in the plant i.e. how effectively pressure safety valves are handling abnormal situation.One of the very important applications of dynamic simulation is for developing Operator Training Simulation (OTS) using which operator will be trained; how to take start-up of the plant or shut down of the plant or identifying the cause for abnormality in the plant and corrective action for the same.Topics covered.In this module, following topics will be covered in detail.1. Introduction to dynamic simulation2. Application of dynamic simulation3. What is Pressure Flow Theory4. Example demonstration with hypothetic flow sheet to configure all basic control system like flow control system, level control system, pressure control system and temperature control system.5.
