DISTILLATION COLUMN PROCEDURE:

1. Start a new case in HYSYS.


2. Add Benzene and Toluene for the components.
3. Select the Peng-Robinson Fluid Package.
4. Double click on the Distillation Column to bring up the Distillation Column Input Wizard.
5. Type 3 material streams for the feed, the distillate, and the bottoms, and 2 energy streams for
the reboiler and condenser.
6. Now the type of condenser must be specified. Select a total condenser. Click Next >to
proceed.
7. The next step is to specify the pressures of Distillation column. Type those into the respective
fields and click Next >.
8. In the next step, HYSYS prompts for temperature estimates for the top stage, condenser, and
re-boiler. Since these are optional fields, they can be ignored and HYSYS will calculate them
when the simulation is run. Click Next > to proceed to the final step.
8.

Specify the reflux ratio and distillate flow rate. Click Done to complete the distillation
column connection and specifications.

9. Add the extra trays, Simply click on n = tab under Num of Stages on the drawing of the
column, and simply enter in 23.
10. Double click on the Feed stream. This will open its specification menu. Specify an inlet
temperature, a pressure, a flow rate and feed composition of benzene.
11. Click on the Run button to simulate the distillation process.

ABSORPTION COLUMN PROCEDURE:


1. Start a new case in HYSYS.
2. Add Methane (CH4), Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Propylene carbonate components.
3. Select the Sour PR Fluid Package.
4. Click on the Enter Simulation Environment button on the Simulation Basic Manager
window.
5. Click and select the icon that says Absorber. After selecting the Absorber icon, click on
the PFD window to insert the absorption column into the simulation environment.
6. Name the stream, click within the box corresponding to that stream and type Solvent In,
Gases In, Gases Out and solvent out.
7. Enter pressures and temperature and click done.
8. Enter the feed and solvent composition and condition.
9. Then double click and Run the simulation.
10. Go to the Tools menu and select Utilities. Scroll down and select Tray Sizing. Click on
the Add Utilities button. A tray-sizing window should pop up. Name the utility as
Packing. Click on the Select TS button.
11. After selecting the Tray section, one will return to the Tray Sizing window. Click on the
button that says Auto Section
12. Select Raschig Rings (Ceramic) _inch for packing. Then click next and then auto selection.
13. Go to Tools menu and click on Utilities. A window named Available Utilities will pop
up. Select Packing and click on View Utility button. On the window that pops-up, click on
Auto Section and change the internal type selection from Valve to Packed.
14. Click on Next and then on Complete Auto Section. Now, click on the Performance tab
and select Packed.
15. See the diameter and the height of the section.

REACTOR PROCEDURE:
1. Start HYSYS.Open new case.

5. Select the Conversion Reaction, and then enter the stoichiometric
coefficient.
6. The select Ethyl benzene as base component, enter percentage conversion.
7. Add the reaction to FP.
8. Click on the Enter Simulation Environment button on the Simulation Basic Manager
window.
9. Click and select the icon that says conversion reactor. After selecting the conversion
reactor icon, click on the PFD window to insert the conversion reactor into the simulation
environment.
10.

Name the stream, click within the box corresponding to that stream and type feed,

vapor and liquid.


11.

Enter the feed condition and composition.

12.

Enter the temperature and pressure of reaction and click done.

13.

Then run the reactor simulation.

EXTRACTION COLUMN PROCEDURE:


1. Star Start a new case in HYSYS.
2. Add Acetone, Water and MIBK for the components.
3. Select the NRTL Fluid Package.
4. For Liquid-Liquid Extraction cases, the binary coefficients of the components have to be
checked.
5. Check the Binary Coefficients, simply click the Binary Coeffs tab.
6. Select UNIFAC LLE for the appropriate estimation to use.
7. Select a Liquid-Liquid Extraction column. Click on the Liquid-Liquid Extraction column
button in the Simulation Toolbar, and then place it on the simulation window.
8. Double click on the Liquid-Liquid Extraction column to bring up the Liquid-Liquid
Extractor Input Expert. Name the streams to Feed, Solvent, Extracted Product, and
Bottoms.
9. Specify a constant pressure by typing it in to the pressure columns
10. HYSYS prompts for optional temperature estimates for the top and bottom stages. These
estimates can be ignored and HYSYS will calculate them when the simulation is run.
Click Done to complete the Liquid-Liquid Extractor Input Expert.
11. Since trays are needed to extract 99% of the acetone. Since 10 trays are specified by
default, 6 trays need to be removed.
12. Click on n = tab under Num of Stages on the drawing of the column, and simply
enter in 4
13. Double click on the Feed stream, opening the specification menu. Type in the desired
feed properties: temperature, pressure, flow rate, and a feed with a 40 mol % acetone and
60 mol % water.
