GPB process simulation (1,3-Butadiene extraction)
GPB process simulation (1,3-Butadiene extraction)
(OP)
Dear all
My company will revamp its 1,3-butadiene plant and we will be responsible for the basic engineering.
Unfortunatelly, Zeon and some other experienced companies with extractive distillation declined the job due to other bigger projects ongoing.
My team intent is to simulate the plant and develop the basic engineering ourselves and give the detail engineering to others.
Does anyone have experience with the GPB process simulation?? What thermodynamic model(s) should be used to overcome extractive distillation problems? Any good papers or documentation regarding extractive distilattion simulation, focused on butadiene extraction?
Experience with Aspen or Hysys on the GPB process?
Thanks in advance

If you dont know how to work a process simulator (and this is a one time occurance) then i will recommend that you hire a consultant or outsource the job.

Simulation package we want to use is Aspen Hysys.
