Your needs do not require Aspen Plus, there is no way to get it free or any plant similation software. Either hire a consultant for a onetime project to do the run or buy the program.

You can try Chemsep on http://www.chemsep.org/. You can use LITE version which is limited, for free.

Another program that is great is BR&E's PROMAX.  It is not free , but is excellent.  

If you do not have the software then you can hire a consultant.  It's not worth writing your own on this.

There are other process simulators such as VMGsim and HYSYS.

I hope this helps.

And the best performance to cost (IMHO) is www.winsim.com
