BATCHFRAC Module

The BATCHFRAC module in PRO/II is a rigorous distillation algorithm capable of modeling unsteady-state batch distillation processes. BATCHFRAC allows for simulation of reactive distillation and supports two liquid phases, making it well-suited for applications within the chemicals industry. BATCHFRAC is a product of Koch-Glitsch that is licensed exclusively within SimSci-Esscor's PRO/II module for all new customers.

The conventional batch distillation algorithm is ideal for simple and fast modeling of simple systems with ideal solutions. While the conventional approach works for some systems, BATCHFRAC provides a much more rigorous model that is effective over a wide range of systems. Additionally, BATCHFRAC is capable of handling reactions and two liquid phases within the column.

RATEFRAC Module (view datasheet)

The RATEFRAC module in PRO/II is a rigorous rate-based distillation model suitable for applications where the approach to equilibrium is limited by heat and mass transfer rates. RATEFRAC allows for simulation of all types of multistage vapor-liquid columns such as absorption, stripping and conventional azeotropic and extractive distillation. RATEFRAC is a product of Koch-Glitsch that is licensed exclusively within SimSci-Esscor's PRO/II module for all new customers.

AMSIM Module (view datasheet)

Schlumberger's AMSIM is fully integrated into PRO/II allowing accurate simulation for the removal of H2S, CO2 and mercaptans from natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) streams using chemicals (amines) and physical solvents. By applying a rigorous non-equilibrium stage model and the Peng-Robinson equation of state, AMSIM provides simple, reliable and efficient solutions including investigation of alternative process configurations and/or contacting solvents. AMSIM also provides an analysis of the sensitivity of the key operating parameters and a diagnostic optimization of gas and LPG sweetening units. AMSIM's GUI is directly accessible from within PRO/II environment.
