Estimation of Physical Properties using EXCEL-UNISIM

Background:

UniSim simulation software is an intuitive and interactive process modeling that allows engineers to create steady-state and dynamic models for plant design, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, operational improvement, business planning and asset management. Using industry-specific unit operating models and powerful tools to optimize operating parameters for feedstock changes, UniSim Design allows the steady-state simulation of oil and gas, refining, chemical and petrochemical processes.

This workshop will demonstrate the use of EXCEL-UNISIM to perform physical properties estimation. Some hands-on examples will be provided.

Topics covered:

• Importance of physical property estimation
• Extraction of physical property data from simulators
• UNISIM Design Suite
• Excel Simulation
• Hands-on Examples
• Comparison of Excel results with UNISIM
• Conclusion
