Compressor Loop Setup.ksc Compressor Loop Setup for training example.
Compressor Loop.ksc Complete Compressor Loop case from training example.
Dynamics Crude Distillation.ksc Dynamic Crude Column - This is the dynamic equivalent of the Standard CDU.ksc crude column simulation.

The flowsheet has been kept as close to the steady state flowsheet as possible. Because of this, for instance, there are no column sumps, except for the reboiled sidestripper. It also does not use static head and the control scheme and supporting equipment is incomplete.

Do not use the dynamics assistant on this case, as extensive changes are required, some of which need to be made manually.

Dynamics Debutanizer.ksc Debutanizer dynamics - rigorous ovhd

This case demonstrates modeling an overhead circuit for a distillation column using more detail than just the condenser module.

Column pressure control is achieved primarily by bypassing some of the overhead vapor around the condenser. PIC-101 controls the overhead accumulator pressure using the bypass. The top tray pressure is controlled by PIC-100, which essentially maintains a constant pressure drop between the top tray and the overhead accumulator. If the system overpressures, PIC-102 will vent to flare.

The reflux rate is on flow control, with the overhead accumulator level being controlled by the product rate. There is temperature control at the bottom of the column, and level control for the sump.

Additional item(s) which could be modeled are relief valves - probably one at the top of the column, and one for the overhead accumulator. The bottom product could be put on analyzer control, cascaded to the temperature control.

Dynamics Ethanol Dehydrator.ksc Ethanol dehydrator column

This simulation demonstrates dynamic simulation of a three-phase chemical column. In this example, all of the organic phase from the decanter is refluxed to the column. In addition, a small amount of the aqueous phase is refluxed to maintain temperature control at the top of the column (TIC-100). The amount of aqueous reflux is insufficient to produce a second liquid phase on the trays.

Two liquid phase behavior can be demonstrated by placing TIC-100 in manual, and increasing the output to 40%

The tool converts relative humidity and dry bulb temperature into an air stream with the correct composition to feed to a gas turbine model.
