Example 1: Size the control valve with the following conditions. The control valve acts as PV and
is installed at the outlet of a methanol plant inlet K.O. drum.

Parameter Value Unit

Flow 133000 Kg/hr

Fluid Methane

Fluid Package PR

Pressure 1 52.9 bara

Pressure 2 51 bara

Temperature 40 C

Size the control valve in both Aspen Hysys and Fisher and compare the input provision and
results.

Sizing in Aspen Hysys


Steps to be taken:
1.Add Methane to component list
2.Select Peng-Robinson as fluid package
3.Enter simulation environment and provide the process data.
4.Select a control valve and connect stream 1 to its inlet while connect stream 2 to its outlet.
5.Specify the pressure drop in control valve based on given table.
6.Go to rating tab, select universal gas sizing, specify the opening to be 100%. Also specify the
characteristic to be linear.

Note:
Valve characteristics

A unique and simple procedure for valve characteristic determination for almost all Chemical Plants.

1. Use Equal Percentage if the valve functions as FV or TV

2. Use Linear if the valve functions as PV or LV

3. Use Linear if there is Split Range Control

Note: Due to process demands, above rules might not apply to some situations.
