Modelling a gas fractionation plant

Abstract

Gas fractional separation is one of the most important processes in the modern oil refining industry. Separation units are one of the most energy- and material-consumable technological units of a modern oil refineries and petrochemical plants. This study aims to create model of a gas fractioning unit using the ChemCAD and Hysys simulation programs. The pursued goal was to build a computational model for the rectification of gas products, with parameters close to observed at an oil refinery, and an adequate description of the processes taking place at industrial installation.
