4 1 Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The FLOWNET and CHEM BASIC libraries are expansions of SIMIT. The libraries provide component types that enable you to simulate pipeline networks in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in particular. Interconnecting the library components enables a model of a flow network to be generated in SIMIT, which plausibly simulates the thermodynamic processes in pipeline networks. You can create flow networks for different media, e.g. water / steam, liquids or ideal gases. The present application example uses the example of a stirred tank reactor to show you how to use the library components of CHEM BASIC to create a corresponding simulation model. The basis for the PCS 7 project used here is the Entry PCS 7 Unit Template "Stirred Tank Reactor" using the example of the Chemical Industry" There, you will also find a detailed description of the PCS 7 project. Benefits Using the application example has the following benefits for you, the user: The CHEM BASIC library provides a quick introduction into the SIMIT project planning Communication of the knowledge necessary to develop simulations Reduction of effort needed for configuration thanks to the use of library components Required knowledge Basic knowledge of the following specialist fields is a prerequisite: Process engineering Physical and thermo-dynamic modeling Closed-loop control Engineering with SIMATIC PCS 7 and Advanced Process Library (APL) Basic knowledge of SIMIT Simulation The general mode of project planning with SIMIT Simulation is described in "SIMIT Getting Started".

You can find detailed descriptions of all the objects available in the online help or in the SIMIT manual: Pipes constitute the flow networks in the diagram. They are depicted as lines. You generate pipelines by joining the individual components in the diagram. You can shift them at will using the drag points. Figure 2-1: Pipe between two objects. 2.2 Terminal nodes A terminal node must be configured at the beginning and one at the end of a flow network. The following terminal nodes are available: Symbol Description Protected System -> System Settings: Setting of mass flow in kg/s and of specific enthalpy in kj/kg. CHEM BASIC > System > PHnode Setting of pressure in bar and of specific enthalpy in kj/kg. CHEM BASIC > System > PTnode Setting of pressure in bar and the temperature in ºC. In the Properties tab you can adjust the parameters for all terminal nodes under Input. Figure 2-2: Properties of the terminal nodes Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/2017 8

Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/2017 9

10 2 Objects of the CHEM BASIC Library 2.4 Process tags With the appropriate process tags you can display or process the simulated process values in SIMIT. These can be connected to a pipe process tag or a connection point for other components Symbol Description CHEM BASIC > Measurements > PipeMeasure Connecting point for pipes. The measured values for pressure, temperature and flow rate can be read out here. CHEM BASIC > Measurements > NozzleMeasurement Terminal for other components such as, for instance, tanks CHEM BASIC > Measurements > FlowIndicator Display of a flow rate CHEM BASIC > Measurements > PressureIndicator Display of a pressure CHEM BASIC > Measurements > TemperatureIndicator Temperature display CHEM BASIC > Measurements > LevelIndicator Display of a level CHEM BASIC > Measurements > WeightIndicator Display of a weight In the following figure the display for flow and pressure at a pipe process tag are configured.

The flow direction (2) of the medium is displayed with an arrow at the process tag when a simulation is in progress. The current process value is displayed by double-clicking on the corresponding process tag (3). Figure 2-3: Process tag objects in SIMIT Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

11 2 Objects of the CHEM BASIC Library 2.5 Actuators The actuators influence the characteristics of the medium, e.g. pressure, temperature and flow speed. Symbol Description CHEM BASIC > Pumps > Pump The Pump component type calculates the pressure increase through a pump as a function of flow rate and rotational speed. The speed can be determined by means of a drive from the basic library and is connected to the "Input> Speed" property CHEM BASIC > Valves > Valve The flow rate is calculated as a function of the valve position, the parameterized characteristic curve and the valve size. The Kvs value corresponds to the maximum flow rate at 1 bar pressure difference The valve position can be determined by means of a drive from the basic library and is connected to the property "Input> Position. The parameters of the actuators can be set in the Parameters" and "Additional Parameters" properties. Figure 2-4: Parameters of a pump and a valve The ratio between valve position and flow rate can be parameterized in the valve s Characteristic" dialog. You can move any support point of the polygon as desired and add additional support points. This enables you to configure individual valve characteristics. X = Valve position in % Y = Flow rate in % Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

12 2 Objects of the CHEM BASIC Library 2.6 Other objects The library also provides additional objects for the simulation of complex operations in closed systems. E.g. filters, centrifuges, or as in this application example, stirred tank reactors. Symbol Description CHEM BASIC > Tanks > Agitator The component type Agitator shows the presence and operation of an agitator. However, this component has no effect on mixing in a stirring tank because stirring tanks are always assumed to be perfectly mixed systems. CHEM BASIC > Tanks > StorageTankLiquid The component type StorageTankLiquid is used for mixing and storing liquid media. The inflowing and outflowing substance flows are hereby balanced automatically with regard to mass and enthalpy. The temperature of the substance stored in the tank can be adjusted by means of a direct input or different additional components. If there are gas connectors, these are balanced separately and form a pressure padding above the liquid in the tank. CHEM BASIC > Tanks > HeatingJacket The component HeatingJacket is optimized for use in combination with a StorageTankLiquid. It is an add-on component of the StorageTankLiquid. Signal interchange is via the connections: Heat flow (Q) Process tag connection (M) Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

16 3 Configuring with SIMIT CHEM BASIC 3.2 Plant section Feed" In the plant section Feed" three raw materials and a catalyst are fed to the reactor. The quantity of the main component "Quantity" is adjusted by means of the "FIC_Quantity" controller. This controls the "YC_Quantity analog valve. The two controllers "FFIC_Comp_1" and "FFIC_Comp_2" receive a setpoint relative to the main component of the master controller (ratio control). The setpoint for the main component and the catalyst is set manually by the operator. Figure 3-5: Flow diagram of plant section Feed" SP FIC Quantity MV YC Quantity 1.

This way the correct placeholder is entered automatically at the parameter "Input> Position" and does not need to be parameterized additionally. The Kvs value (7) corresponds to the maximum passage at a pressure difference of 1 bar. Figure 3-9: Valve object properties 6 7 Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

19 3 Configuring with SIMIT CHEM BASIC 3.3 Plant section Level" The plant section Level contains a controlled valve for the product outlet and the reactor fill level process tag. The setpoint for the fill level can easily be set at the "LIC_Level" controller.

In the example, the reactor is parameterized with a total of 7 connections and 4 process tags. In addition to the number, the height of the connection or process tag can also be defined. Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

21 3 Configuring with SIMIT CHEM BASIC The reactor was created with the following parameters: Figure 3-14: Parameter of the object "StorageTankLiquid" The following flow network branches are connected to pipe connections N1 to N7 : N1: Quantity N2: Comp 1 N3: Comp 2 N4: Catalyst N5: Gas In N6: Gas Out N7: Product Out The following data are measured at process tags M1 to M4 : M1: Temperature for the heating jacket M2: Fill level M3: Reactor pressure M4: Temperature for control Pipe unions N1 to N6 are all configured for a height above the maximum fill level. This is to prevent the medium flowing back from the reactor to the piping. The gas pressure, too, is determined above the maximum fill level. Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

22 3 Configuring with SIMIT CHEM BASIC 3.4 Plant section "Temperature" The temperature of the reactor medium is set in the Temperature plant section. Heat exchange is via a heating/cooling jacket. The setpoint of the medium is set at the "TIC_Reactor" controller. A split-range control is provided for heating or for cooling the reactor jacket. The "TIC_Jacket" controller regulates the valves for heating and cooling. The setpoint for the jacket temperature is specified by the "TIC_Reactor" control (cascade control). The "NS_Jacket" circulating pump ensures an even temperature distribution. Figure 3-15 Flow diagram of Temperature plant section M SP TIC Reactor TIC Jacket MV YC Heat Heating steam YC Cool Cooling water NS Jacket The drives of the actuators are configured in the following diagrams: NS_PumpJacket YC_Cool YC_Heat Figure 3-16: Simulation of the YC_Heat" valve on the actuator/sensor level Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

24 3 Configuring with SIMIT CHEM BASIC Note The pipe process tags (7) are not relevant for the plant process. Their sole function is to illustrate the mode of operation. Measured values are displayed directly in the diagram. The heating jacket is connected to the reactor by the following characteristics: "Properties > Input > M_IN" with "Reactor > M1" "Properties > Output > Q" with "Reactor > Q" Figure 3-19: Properties of the heating jacket If necessary, you can also configure the influence of the stirrer or the filling level on the heat exchange process. To do this, you must configure these properties on the reactor object with the simulated process values: Input > AgitatorSpeed Input > TankLevel In the "Characteristic" dialog, you can define the influence of the input parameter "X" on the output parameter "Y. If "Y = 0", there is no heat exchange between the reactor and the jacket. Entry ID: , V1.0, 04/

25 3 Configuring with SIMIT CHEM BASIC 3.5 Plant section Pressure The pressure in the reactor chamber is regulated in the "Pressure" plant section. The setpoint for the pressure is set with the "PIC_Pressure" controller. The two valves "YC_In" and "YC_Out" are controlled by the controller via split-range control. This compensates pressure changes caused by a change in the reactor fill level or by pressure influences at the feed and at the outlet.
