서부 발전 태안화력발전소에 건설 예정인 IGCC Demo plant의 설계 자료를 근거로 석탄 가스화기의 정상 상태 전산모사를 PRO/II를 사용하여 수행하였다. 석탄을 PRO/II가 받아들일 수 있는 성분으로 바꾼 후 가스화기를 버너와 가스화기 본체의 두 부분으로 나누어 모델링하였다. 버너는 단열조건의 Gibbs Reactor로 모델링하였다. 모사 결과 산소가 완전 소진될 때까지 반응이 진행되는 것을 확인하였다. 가스화기는 char gasification 반응은 kinetic reaction equation으로, gas phase reaction은 equilibrium reactor로 모사하는 알고리듬을 개발 하였으나 PRO/II의 기능에 한계가 있어 간단한 Gibbs Reactor로 모사하였다. 가스화기는 membrane wall에 의하여 냉각되는 것을 고려하여 $1550^{\circ}C$의 균일한 온도에서 반응이 일어나는 것으로 고려하였다. 전산 모사 결과 주요 성분의 조성이 실제 syngas의 조성과 5% 정도 오차가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at several isothermal temperatures for carbon dioxide and ethane binary systems were estimated using binary interaction parameters (BIP's) in Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state built-in PRO/II with PROVISION (PRO/II) process simulator. Moreover, BIP's in PR equation of state were newly determined by regressing the experimental VLE data for carbon dioxide and ethane systems for each different isothermal temperatures using the summation of squares of the bubble point deviations as an objective function. Comparative works have been performed for absolute average deviation % (AAD(%)) between experimental and predicted bubble pressures using built-in BIP's in PRO/II and newly regressed one, respectively. Our calculation results gave a better estimation result than the simulation result using an existing parameter built-in PRO/II.

In this study, the simulation was performed for the CO removal process using a composite membrane in DME production. The composite membrane, PEI-PDMS (polyetherimide- polydimethyl siloxane) manufactured by Airrane Co. Ltd., was used in the modeling through a commercial simulation design program, PRO/II with PROVISION 9.2 by Invensys. To simulate the process, the permeability constants of each of the pure component from Airrane Co. Ltd. were determined by regression analysis from the experimental data. The required separation membrane area and utility cost in the CO removal process were obtained using a chemical process simulator and composite membrane with a compatible permeability constant.

In this study, a computer simulation work has been performed for the carbon dioxide removal process using aqueous amine solution in the GTL (Gas To Liquids) process. 30wt% DEA(diethnaol amine) aqueous solution was utilized as a carbon dioxide remvoal agent and an absorber-stripper two-columns configuration was used. Kent-Eisenburg modeling equation built-in amine specicial package was used for the modeling of the carbon dioxide removal process. PRO/II with PROVISION 9.0, a commercial process simulator was used. Through this simulation study, heat and material balance was obtained and packing column diameter and column height were also estimated.

In this study, kinetics data was obtained for steam reforming reaction of ethane over the nickel catalyst. The variables of steam reforming reaction were reaction temperature, partial pressure of ethane, and mole ratio of steam and ethane. Parameters for the power rate law kinetic model and the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model were obtained from the kinetic data. Also, sizing of steam reforming reactor was performed by using PRO/II simulator. For the steam reforming reaction of ethane, Langmuir-Hinshelwood model determining the reaction rate by the surface reaction was better suited than a simple power rate law kinetic model. On water-gas-shift reaction, power rate law kinetic model was well fitted to the kinetic data. Reactor size can be calculated for production of hydrogen through PRO/II simulation.

In this study, modeling and optimization study have been performed to obtain $1,524.58kg\;h^{-1}$ of a solidified NaCl by evaporating a 21.0 wt% of NaCl aqueous solution in order to reduce the steam consumption from $3,139kg\;h^{-1}$ to $496kg\;h^{-1}$ using a two-stage evaporation and a vapor recompression processes. Aspen Plus release 8.8 at AspenTech was utilized for the modeling of two stage evaporation process and PRO/II with PROVISION release 9.4 at Schneider Electric was also used for the simulation of two-stage vapor recompression process with an inter-cooler. For the simulation of the evaporation process containing NaCl aqueous solution, Aspen Plus release 8.8 at AspenTech Inc. was utilized and for the modeling of vapor recompression process PRO/II with PROVISION release at Schneider Electric Inc. For the vapor recompression process, single stage compression and two-stage compression system was compared.

In this study, a simulation technology for refrigeration cycle which can liquefy and store liquified petroleum gas (LPG) using pure propane as a refrigerant has been introduced. Cooling water as the second cooling medium was used for the liquefaction of propane. Peng-Robinson equation of state was used for the entire refrigeration cycle. A new alpha formulation proposed by Twu et al. was used for the more accurate prediction of vapor pressures of pure propane component and LPG constituents. API method for the accurate estimation of liquid densities of propane and LPG was used instead of using Peng-Robinson equation of state. PRO/II with PROVISION release 7.1, a general purpose chemical process simulator was used for the simulation of the overall refrigeration system. Through this work, we can successfully simulate the real propane refrigeration plant operating at domestic site.

In this study, a computer simulation has been performed for the refrigeration cycle using mixed refrigerants in order to decrease the process stream temperature to $-20^{\circ}C$. Refrigerant supply temperature was assumed to be $-30^{\circ}C$ considering the temperature difference as $10^{\circ}C$ with process stream. Peng-Robinson equation of state model was selected for the computer simulation. A new alpha function proposed by Twu et al was used for an accurate prediction of pure component vapor pressure experimental data. One fluid mixing rules were used for the estimation of mixture vapor-liquid equilibria calculations. A commercial process simulator, PRO/II with PROVISION was utilized for the simulation of the overall refrigeration process. In order to minimize the compressor power consumption, we have optimized the two-stage compression system by varying the first stage compressor outlet pressure. Finally, we could obtain the minimum total power 755.7kW at the first stage compressor outlet pressure, 6 bar.
