Fractional Conversion

Chemcad can be used for sensitivity analysis where one can vary one parameter and see the effect of it on any related parameter in a flow sheet. This features can be effectively used for many process design like locating the optimum feed plate in a distillation column, or determining optimum volume of a reactor., g p

• Multiple Independent Variables and recorded variables permitted in sensitivity analysis

Optimization Routine

• Chemcad has a powerful optimization package where the user can define the objective Function and optimize the selected parameters

Plot Options

• Chemcad has a power plot options which allows to generate plots for VLE, LLE, Binodal Plot, Residue Curves, Solid – Liquid Equilibrium, Property of any stream in the flow sheet properties of any components Composite Heatany stream in the flow sheet, properties of any components, Composite Heat Curve, Column Profiles, Pipe Profile Reactor Profile etc. This greatly help in analyzing a process problem…

“The one completed new plant is operating successfully. Because of the simulationmodel, it employs two columns in a distillation train that uses three in an older facility.This led to a capital cost savings of $250,000 for a single project.”

Anthony J Nocera, Manager of Process Technology, Great Lakes Chemicalsy g gy

“With this new software (Chemcad), it is unbelievable that I can accomplish in a daywhat used to take two or three weeks…Increasing capacity is the most importantpart of this project. By removing the stripper bottleneck, the combined annualpart of this project. By removing the stripper bottleneck, the combined annualsteam and electrical savings are $320,000/year.”

Terry Funkhauser, Chief Process Engineer, Texas Petrochemicals

A pipe fouling issue had plagued the feed to a particular distillation, and whileA pipe fouling issue had plagued the feed to a particular distillation, and whilediscussing alternatives… it was decided to look at a simulation of the column onChemcad…The tower profile didn’t look optimized, so an alternative simulation witha new feed tray location was run, and significantly reduced energy usage wasfound…As a result, $120,000/year of steam was saved. An additional benefit hasou d s a esu t, $ 0,000/yea o stea as sa ed add t o a be e t asbeen a more stable column with less impurity in the product.”
