Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization 4.0 for a Distillation Column
Norbert Asprion
Abstract
Abstract Simulation is besides experimentation a key technology in design, analysis and operation of distillation columns. The reliability of simulations to answer questions concerning the real process strongly depends on model quality, which needs to be reliable and predictive. Usually available plant data can be used to validate and if necessary, to improve the model. In this contribution challenges and opportunities of a continuous model improvement in a flowsheet simulator with emphasis on new possibilities triggered by digitalization will be discussed.
