PRO/II with Provision Training Outline Introduction and demonstration Guided and independent problems Simulation in seven steps Main components of a simulation Keyword files Output, help, and customization PRO/II vs PROVISION PRO/II is the calculational engine Solves equations PROVISION makes PRO/II easy to use Graphical User Interface Using PROVISION More Efficiently To select unit operations, click on their label Type in known component names Much faster than selecting from list Use the “TAB” key to move to the next cell Especially useful when entering assays Use reference streams for similar streams Crude column has 4 identical steam feeds, except for rate Use the stream copy feature Simulation Basics Sequential-Modular Simulator Units solved one at a time Feeds must be known Recycles automatically handled Steady State Simulator No time dependent phenomena Exception: Depressuring Unit Controllers instrumentation are irrelevant Simplifying Flowsheets Remove Control Valves and Instrumentation Group Units if Desired Chiller Plant Simulation Chiller Plant – Part 1,2,3,4 Main Components of a Simulation Build PFD Units of measure Component data Thermodynamic method Stream data Process conditions Unit Operations Main Components of a Simulation Build PFD Units of measure Component data Thermodynamic method Stream data Process conditions Assay data (if applicable) Beware of Defaults Main Components of a Simulation Build PFD Units of measure Component data Thermodynamic method Stream data Process conditions Assay data (if applicable) Units of Measure Common source of errors English is default Default can be changed globally (all future simulations) Can be changed for entire flowsheet Can be changed locally Can define custom set of UOM Main Components of a Simulation Build PFD Units of measure Component data Thermodynamic method Stream data Process conditions Assay data (if applicable) Component Selection Pure component from a library User-defined component
