Rigorous separation design. 1. / Seon B. Kim in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 49 N° 14 (Juillet 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 49 N° 14 (Juillet 2010) . - pp. 6499–6513 Titre : Rigorous separation design. 1. : multicomponent mixtures, nonideal mixtures, and prefractionating column networks Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Seon B. Kim, Auteur ; Gerardo J. Ruiz, Auteur ; Andreas A. Linninger, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 6499–6513 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Separation  networks Résumé : Currently, there is a lack of reliable computational methods to automatically synthesize separation networks within specific product targets. Computational methods exploring the combinatorial wealth of different separation configurations, while simultaneously selecting feasible or detecting globally optimal operating conditions, are not available for problems of practical size. In this paper, we extend the minimum bubble point distance algorithm embedded in the temperature collocation methodology to rigorously design complex networks to separate nonideal multicomponent mixtures into products of desired purity using heat-integrated prefractionating columns. Our employed inverse design procedure enables the systematic design of physically realizable separations for mixtures with a large number of species. The computer procedure robustly converges to the desired purity targets, unless the desired purity target is thermodynamically impossible to realize. The algorithm also rapidly identifies infeasible specifications without fail. Finally, synthesized networks were validated with AspenPlus matching exactly the inverse design results with the target purity. The rigorous flowsheet design combined with validation of the networks with commercial flowsheet simulators enables the systematic design of energy-efficient separation networks. The methodology is ready to address currently unresolved design problems such as the computer-aided design of energy-efficient separations, the design of biorefineries, or new process designs for carbon sequestration.

Rigorous separation design. 2. / Seon B. Kim in Industrial & engineering chemistry research, Vol. 49 N° 18 (Septembre 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Industrial & engineering chemistry research > Vol. 49 N° 18 (Septembre 2010) . - pp. 8670–8684 Titre : Rigorous separation design. 2. : network design solutions for mixtures with various volatility differences and feed compositions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Seon B. Kim, Auteur ; Andreas A. Linninger, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : pp. 8670–8684 Note générale : Industrial chemistry Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Rigorous  flow  sheet  synthesis Résumé : This article presents progress in the computer-aided synthesis of energy-efficient complex column networks based on the automatic temperature collocation algorithm. Three prefractionating complex networks are employed to split several quaternary mixtures into four almost-pure end products. Network solutions for two different mixtures with different difficulties of separation as well as various feed compositions are presented. Twelve network designs, all satisfying stringent product quality requirements, but with different energy demands and capital costs, are laid out in detail. The design computations with the temperature collocation methodology are demonstrated to agree closely with rigorous mass, equilibrium, summation, and heat computations verified with the industrial-standard flow sheet simulator AspenPlus. In fact, detailed design specifications were so accurate that their use to initialize AspenPlus flow sheet simulations leads to convergence in a few iterations to essentially the same end products. The success of the method demonstrates that rigorous solutions to separation problems can be obtained in a fraction of valuable engineering design time by computer methods. The automatic and rigorous flow sheet synthesis is apt to systematically address process design problems such as the synthesis of energy-efficient separation networks, the layout of biorefineries with novel feedstocks, or a sustainable process for reduction of greenhouse gases emissions.
