SOLUTION
Step 1 Create a New Simulation

➤ Select New... from the File menu.
Note that several buttons on the toolbar, including the Run button have
red borders. When you have satisfied PRO/II's input requirements all red
borders will disappear.
Step 2 Build the Process Flow Diagram

If the PFD palette is not already visible, click the PFD Palette button on
the toolbar to bring it up. Click on the appropriate unit icons on the PFD
palette to draw the PFD. To select and position a unit, just click on its
icon.
A pointer with a box and flash drum attached appears. Move this to the
main window and click again when the unit is in position.
In this manner, select and position the units as shown in the diagram
using these PFD buttons:
➤ Click on the red-bordered Streams on the PFD palette.

Note that the pointer now has an S attached to it. All available exit ports
appear on each unit once you select Streams . Required exit ports are
red and optional exit ports are green.
Getting Started Workbook 3

➤ Draw the streams on the flowsheet to connect the units.
After your first click, only the available feed ports are shown in red or
green.
Note: Although not critical in this example, it is good practice to con-

nect the FLASH DRUM hydrocarbon liquid product to the side
port and to reserve the bottom port for a decanted water or sec-
ond liquid product.
➤ Double-click on each stream and unit and change its name to that
shown on the diagram above. Do not change any other data in the
dialog box.
➤ Click OK to exit the dialog box. Note that spaces are not allowed in
unit or stream names.
The completed PFD should now look like Figure 5 below.
Figure 5: Chiller Plant

PFD in PRO/II
After you finish building the flowsheet, the labels of all the internal
streams are black and the available ports of all the units are green. At this
point, all the unit labels have red borders and the border of the feed
stream label is also red because you must still add data. Note that the
border of Streams is black, indicating that you have entered all neces-
sary data for this function. To exit the stream connection mode, right-
click, or click on Streams so that it turns gray, indicating that the mode
is no longer active.
➤ Before continuing, save the simulation as CHILL1.PRZ.
Step 3 Modify the Input Units of Measure

➤ Click on the green-bordered Units of Measure (UOM) button on the
toolbar to verify the units of measure used in this simulation.

For this example you will use either modified SI units or modified
English units. Click Initialize from Library.... and select ENGLISH-
SET1 or SI-SET1 from the drop-down list.
➤ Check each item that it matches the input data given in the tables
above.
➤ Make any necessary changes and click OK .
Notice that the border of the UOM button is now blue indicating that you
have modified the data.
Step 4 Define the Components

➤ Click on the red-bordered Component Selection button on the tool-
bar.
➤ Click Select from Lists... .
➤ Select the Hydrocarbon Lightends Component Family and select
components from the list displayed. Select a single component or a
group of components (using the shift or control keys) and then click
Add Components to add them to the component list below.
➤ Add the components in the order presented in Table 3.
Figure 6: Component
Selection
➤ When finished click OK to return to the Component Selection dia-

log box.
➤ Click Petroleum... to enter data for the petroleum component
C6PLUS.
➤ Enter its name, NBP and gravity data, and click OK .
Note that Petroleum... and List of Selected Components box now have
blue borders.

➤ Click OK to exit the dialog box.
Step 5 Select the Thermodynamic Method

➤ Click on the red-bordered Thermodynamic Data button on the tool-
bar.
➤ Select the Most Commonly Used Category, and then select Peng-
Robinson as the Primary Method.
➤ Double-click on Peng-Robinson, or click Add -> to add your
method selection to the Defined Systems box.
➤ To specify the transport property methods, click Modify... and then
Transport Properties... .
➤ Check the Compute Transport Properties box and select Petroleum
Correlations from the Transport System drop-down list, as shown in
Figure 7.
Figure 7: Transport
Properties
➤ Click OK in each of the three dialog boxes to save the entered data.
Step 6 Define the External Feed Stream

➤ Double-click on the feed stream INLET_GAS. Make sure that the
stream type is Composition Defined.
➤ Enter the stream's thermal condition:
● Select Temperature as the first specification and enter value.
● Select Pressure as the second specification and enter value.
➤ Click Flowrate and Composition... .
➤ Select Total Fluid Flowrate and enter value.
You will need to locally override the flowrate dimensional units. To do
so, with the cursor in the fluid flowrate field, click UOM at the top of

the dialog box and change the basis to vapor volume and the units to ft3
or m3 and day. Click Change Units to return to the dialog box.
➤ Enter the individual component mole percentages into the compo-

nent grid. You can move down the list using the <Tab> key. After
entering the composition data, check that the total equals 100.
➤ Click OK to exit each dialog box and return to the PFD.
You do not need to enter data for any streams other than the INLET_GAS
(the external feed stream to the process) because PRO/II calculates the
others for you, based on your process conditions.
Step 7 Enter Operating Conditions for Each Unit Operation

➤ Double-click on each unit in turn and enter the required data includ-
ing the unit identifier.
➤ Enter data for flash drum D-1. The First Specification is Pressure
and the Second Specification is Temperature.
➤ Enter data for flash drum D-2. The First Specification is Pressure
Drop and the Second Specification is Duty. The duty of an adiabatic
flash is zero.
Note: As you return to the PFD after each unit operation, its unit
identifier has changed from red (data missing) to black (data
satisfied).
➤ Enter data for heat exchanger HX-1.
Note: By default, the horizontal stream is the hot side and the vertical
stream is the cold side. Here this means that the utility stream
is the cold side. You could use this dialog box to change the
stream allocations if the reverse were true.
➤ Click Specification... to set the heat exchanger specification.

➤ Select Hot Product Temperature from the list and enter value.

Figure 8: Heat
Exchanger
Specifications
➤ Return to the Heat Exchanger dialog box by clicking OK .

➤ Click the cold side Utility Stream... and enter the appropriate data.
Figure 9: Cold Side

Utility Stream
➤ Close the Heat Exchanger dialog boxes and return to the PFD.
➤ Enter pressure and efficiency data for Pump P-1 and Compressor C-
1.
When you have entered all the data, there should not be any red on the
flowsheet. All stream and unit labels should have black borders. If any of
the unit or stream labels has a red border, click on it and check the data.
Save the simulation before continuing.
Step 8 Run the Simulation and View the Results

➤ Run the simulation by clicking the Run button on the toolbar. Each
unit should turn green and then blue in sequence indicating that it
has solved.
➤ To view your results, highlight PUMP P-1 and click the View Results

SOLUTION Use the previous example, CHILL1.PRZ as the basis for this example.
➤ Select File/Save As... from the menu bar and save the example as
CHILL2.PRZ.
Step 1 Add to the Process Flow Diagram

➤ Using Figure 11 as a guide, add units HX-2, HX-3, D-3, and V-1 to
the flowsheet.
➤ Connect the vapor product stream from D-2 to HX-2.

➤ Add the remaining streams to the flowsheet. Enter the unit and
stream names. The PFD now looks like Figure 12.
Figure 12: Chiller

Plant in PRO/II
Step 2 Enter Operating Conditions for Each New Unit Operation

➤ Enter data for the new units.
In the Heat Exchanger dialog box for HEAT EXCHANGER HX-3 (Chiller),
click Utility Stream... and choose Refrigerant as the Utility Type. Select
Propane from the Component list and enter the saturation temperature.
Note: PRO/II's refrigerant utility, used in unit HX-3, considers only

latent heat effects, so the refrigerant inlet and outlet conditions
are a saturated liquid and a saturated vapor, respectively.
At this point there should not be any red borders on the flowsheet. All
stream and unit labels should have black borders. If any of the unit or
stream labels has a red border, double-click on it and check the data.

➤ Run the simulation.
➤ Highlight the cold separator overhead stream 10, click the View
Results button and look at the thermal recycle rate.
As you can see, the stream is all vapor.
➤ Generate an output report by clicking the Generate Report button or

by choosing Generate Report from the Output menu.
Look at the HEAT EXCHANGER summary for HX-3. Find the flowrate of
the refrigerant. You will use this rate as an initial estimate in the Part 3 of
this exercise.

TASK Continue to build the chiller plant. Suppose that the refrigerant for the
chiller HX-3 consists of a mixture rather than pure propane. You want to
determine the flowrate of that mixture required to maintain a process
stream (hotside) outlet temperature of -15ºF (-26ºC). Instead of using the
HEAT EXCHANGER refrigerant utility in PRO/II, which is designed for use
with single components, you now must introduce a refrigerant stream,
with the correct composition, and use a CONTROLLER to determine the
refrigerant flowrate.
The diagram shows part of the process schematic. The portion of the
flowsheet that you entered previously is gray, and the new units and
streams you will now add are black.

SOLUTION Use the previous example, CHILL2.PRZ, as the basis for this example and
save the example as CHILL3.PRZ.
Step 1 Change the Flowsheet Configuration

➤ Add a controller unit to the flowsheet.

➤ Remove the utility stream on HEAT EXCHANGER HX-3 by double-
clicking on the unit and deactivating the check box for the utility
stream.
➤ Add inlet and outlet streams to the cold side of HX-3. Name the inlet
stream 50 and the outlet stream 51.
Figure 15: Chiller

Plant PFD in PRO/II
Step 2 Enter Stream Data

➤ Enter the composition data and define the thermal conditions for
stream 50.
Even though the flowrate of this stream is going to be calculated by the
controller, you must enter a flowrate here. This not only satisfies the data
requirements of the dialog box but also serves as an initial estimate.
➤ Use the propane refrigerant rate from the previous example as the
initial flowrate for this stream.
Step 3 Enter Unit Data

➤ Change the specification for HEAT EXCHANGER HX-3 so that the new
refrigerant stream exits at its dew point. Select the Cold Product Liq-
uid Fraction specification and set the value to 0.00.
➤ Double-click on the CONTROLLER. The Feedback Controller dialog
box appears.
You want to vary stream 50 flowrate so that the temperature of stream 9
is -15°F (-26°C).
In the Specification group:

➤ Click on Parameter.
➤ Choose the hotside outlet stream for HEAT EXCHANGER HX-3
(stream 9) as the stream to specify.
➤ Click on Parameter in the Parameter dialog box.
➤ Select Temperature and return to the Feedback Controller dialog
box.

➤ Enter -15°F (-26°C) as the value of the hotside outlet temperature.
In the Variable group box:

➤ Click on Parameter.
➤ Choose stream 50 as the stream to vary. Click on Parameter and
choose Flowrate as the variable.
When complete, the Feedback Controller dialog box looks like Figure
16.

➤ Click OK to save the entries and return to the flowsheet.

➤ Save the simulation before continuing.

➤ Create a STREAM PROPERTY TABLE for stream 50 with the Stream
Summary list selected.
A portion of this table is shown below. Compare the quantity of refriger-
ant required to that obtained in the previous example. Why are the results
different?

SOLUTION Use the previous example, CHILL3.PRZ, as the basis for this example and
save the example as CHILL4.PRZ.
Step 1 Add to the Process Flow Diagram

➤ Place a COMPRESSOR, two MIXERs and a COLUMN on the PFD. Con-
nect the streams as shown in Figure 18. Name the units and streams.

When you place the column, you will be asked to give the number of the-
oretical trays and to state whether the column has a condenser and a
reboiler. Note that the Table 7 gives actual trays and tray efficiency.
From this you must calculate the number of theoretical trays in the body
of the column (22*55% = 12 stages). The kettle reboiler is simulated as a
theoretical stage and thus is stage 13. This column has no condenser.
When complete, the PFD should look similar to Figure 19.
Figure 19: Complete

Chiller Plant in PRO/II
Step 2 Enter the Unit Data

The mixers require no data. Enter the COMPRESSOR data from the table.
➤ Double-click on the COLUMN. Check that the Number of Trays is cor-

rect and that the default selections for Algorithm and Calculated
Phases are appropriate to your simulation.
➤ Click Pressure Profile... and enter the Top Tray Pressure and the
Pressure Drop for the entire Column.
➤ Click Feeds and Products... to set the feed tray number. Check that
the default entry for the Phase of each Product is correct.
Estimate the rate of the overhead product. You can make a good guess
from the results of the previous run. You could also use the Define proce-
dure, assuming that the overhead stream consists of all the Nitrogen
through Methane from the column feed (Figure 20).
Figure 20: Overhead

Flowrate Definition

➤ Click Reboiler... to check that Kettle (Conventional) has been
selected.
➤ Click Initial Estimates... to select the Conventional initial estimate
method.
➤ Click Performance Specifications... to enter the true vapor pressure
specification. Check the Add Specifications and Variables box. In the
Specifications grid, click on Parameter, choose the bottoms stream,
15, and select Vapor Pressure and True from the lists. Return to the
Specifications and Variables dialog box and enter a value of 235 psig
(1720 kPa).
➤ In the Variables grid, click on Parameter, choose Column and select
Heat Duty of the Reboiler from the lists. The completed dialog box
is shown in Figure 21.

TASK Suppose that a nearby refinery has been shut down and some columns
are available at bargain prices. Your company is exploring a joint venture
with the Royal Gas Company to build a fractionation plant as shown in
Figure 23 to process the liquids from your chiller plant and their plant.
Figure 23: Light Ends

Fractionation Plant

You have been asked to provide a quick design for such a plant. To save
time, you want to perform a shortcut analysis. SHORTCUT COLUMNs are
unsupported in PROVISION. However, using keyword input files you
can run the problem in either Run Batch or Run-Only mode. Use the
keyword input file, CHILL5.INP, found in the TRAINING directory, to
determine the number of theoretical trays, feed locations, and approxi-
mate reflux ratios for the three distillation columns.
SOLUTION
Step 1 Import the Keyword Input File

➤ Select Import... from the File menu. Import the keyword input file
CHILL5.INP from the TRAINING directory.
A message will appear indicating that unsupported features were found

in your keyword file. You can examine a list of these features by clicking
Yes .
➤ Close the Flowsheet Status dialog box to continue.

You will have been automatically placed into Run-Only mode. Run the
simulation and create an output file.
Read the results from the output (Figure 24). For example, for the deeth-
anizer column, the recommended number of theoretical trays is 24,
which is twice the calculated Fenske minimum trays. For a 24 tray col-
umn, the feed should be introduced at tray 13.

MEK/Toluene Preheat
TASK The process shown in Figure 32 preheats a stream that is fed to a distilla-
tion column. The flash drum vaporizes 40 mole percent of the feed, and
the heat exchanger further heats the flash drum liquid. Both the flash
drum and heat exchanger have 1 psi (6.9 kPa) pressure drops. A total of
1.0 MM Btu/hr (1.05 MM kJ/hr) is available to the process.
Find the liquid fraction and temperature of the PROD stream and the two
duties.
Table 13 shows the feed composition and condition. Use the NRTL ther-
modynamic system, but replace its default vapor enthalpy and vapor
density methods with SRKM.

Hint: Use one stream Specification and one Define.

SOLUTION To vaporize 40% of the flash drum feed, use the following stream speci-
fication:
The duty available to the heat exchanger is 1 MM Btu/hr (1.05 MM kJ/

hr) minus however much duty the flash drum requires to vaporize 40%
of its feed. Since the flash duty is unknown before the run, you cannot
assign a value to the heat exchanger's duty. Instead, you should have
PRO/II calculate the FLASH duty, and use the define feature to pass the
calculated flash duty to the heat exchanger. The Define statement for the
HEAT EXCHANGER will has the form:
Table 14 summarizes the results.

Hydrocarbon-Water Phase Separation
TASK This exercise illustrates the differences between a rigorous VLLE flash
and a VLE flash with the water decant option. Simulate a three phase
separator as an isothermal flash at 300°F and 300 psia for the crude
stream given in the tables below. Use VLLE SRK Kabadi-Danner
(SRKKD) thermodynamics and VLE SRK thermodynamics with the
water decant option, along with the three different water solubility corre-
lations. Print the K-values for one of the VLE flash units and for the
VLLE flash.
This exercise allows you to answer the following questions:

■ Is the assumption of a pure water phase valid for this simulation?
■ How do the results vary with respect to the water solubility correla-
tions?

SOLUTION Defining four thermodynamic sets allows PRO/II to flash the feed iso-
thermally four times within one simulation run.
Figure 33 shows the Flash Drum Summary, which only reports the water
decant flashes. There are three FLASH DRUMs, one for each of the solubil-
ity correlations: SIMSCI, KEROSENE, and EOS. PRO/II reports the total
liquid mole fraction and breaks down the liquid phases into the liquid
hydrocarbon phase and the free water phase. Note that PRO/II provides
this type of report only when you invoke the water decant option for a
hydrocarbon-water system. You can observe that the three solubility
methods produce very similar results for this problem.
The K-value printout for the first FLASH unit (DCNT-SIMSCI) follows the
standard Flash Drum Summary. This report gives the vapor and liquid
mole fractions and the K-value for each component, providing you with
information about the relative volatilities of the components of the prod-
ucts. If you choose to lump the vapor and liquid phases into one product,
you can obtain the relative compositions of the different phases in the
product.

Figure 34 shows the three-phase Flash Drum Summary from the output
report. Note that this summary only reports the rigorous VLLE FLASH
units. If you invoke the VLLE option for a FLASH, but only one liquid
phase exists, then PRO/II provides the results in the standard Flash
Drum Summary. The results for the rigorous three-phase FLASH are very
similar to those in Figure 33. The vapor and liquid mole fractions for
each component in the three product phases are at the end of the standard
three-phase Flash Drum Summary. PRO/II uses these results to calculate
the two sets of K-values. You can obtain a set of LLE K-values by divid-
ing the second set of VLE K-values by the first.

Table 17 compares the different product flowrates for each of the four
flash types. Note that PRO/II breaks down the two liquid phases into
hydrocarbon and water content. For this example the second liquid
(water) phase contains only 0.04 mol % (0.9/2211.7) of hydrocarbon. All
three solubility correlations give similar results for the total flowrate of
each product. The rigorous three-phase FLASH with SRKKD thermody-
namics results in significantly more water in the hydrocarbon phase and
thus less water in the water-dominated phase, than any of the three VLE
FLASH units with water decant.

The best method for selecting a VLLE or a VLE thermodynamic system

with a water solubility correlation is to compare the simulation results of
each system with actual process data. Since this is not always possible,
the PRO/II Keyword Manual and the PRO/II Reference Manual provide
guidelines for the selection of an appropriate thermodynamic system and
water solubility correlation.

TASK In this exercise you will use the assay stream you created in NAPHTH1
and manipulate it using two flash drums. The first flash drum predicts
the temperature at which 80% of the feed is recovered in the vapor. The
second flash drum predicts the quantity of liquid that drops out when a
temperature drop is imposed on that vapor.

D-1 Flash drum Pressure = 0.8 atm
80 / 20 vapor/liquid split
D-2 Flash drum Temperature Drop = 18°F (10°F)
Pressure Drop = 0.1 atm
SOLUTION Open the simulation named NAPHTH1.PRZ and save it under a new
name, NAPHTH2.PRZ.
Step 1 Build the Process Flow Diagram

➤ Add two flash drums to the flowsheet and connect, as shown below.
➤ Connect the stream NAPHTHA_FEED to the first flash drum.
Figure 39: PRO/II

Flowsheet
Step 2 Enter Unit Operating Conditions

Enter unit data from Figure 19 into both flash drums.
Express the recovery specification in Flash F1 as the ratio of one

stream's flowrate to that of another. You can define a recovery on the
basis of one component or a range of components or, as here, on the total
stream. Set the specification so that it matches the figure shown below.

Because the feed temperature of flash F2 is unknown until the first flash
has executed, you cannot enter an absolute value at this time. You can,
however, enter a relative value, as shown below.
➤ Add a STREAM PROPERTY TABLE to display a Short Property List for

all the streams in the flowsheet.
➤ Run the simulation and observe the temperatures, pressures and
flowrates on the STREAM PROPERTY TABLE. Verify that they accu-
rately reflect the specifications you entered.

TASK Using the assay stream and flashes from NAPHTH2, you will now exam-
ine the effects of varying the vapor/liquid split in the first flash drum on
the duty of the second flash drum. Run cases at vapor fractions from
80% (the base case) to 40% in 10% increments.
SOLUTION Open the simulation named NAPHTH2.PRZ and save it under a new
name, NAPHTH3.PRZ.

Liquid/Vapor Ratio

Phase Envelope
TASK A vapor stream normally condenses when you increase pressure and/or
decrease temperature. Under certain conditions, however, it is possible
for a vapor stream to undergo partial condensation as its pressure is
reduced (at a fixed temperature) or as its temperature is increased (at a
fixed pressure). This counter-intuitive phenomenon, called retrograde
condensation, is particularly important in the production of petroleum
from deep gas wells.
Typically, as a gas is brought to the surface its pressure decreases until it

matches that of the receiving vessel, which is at ambient temperature.
The pressure of the vessel is set to lie in the two-phase region at that tem-
perature so that partial condensation of the gas occurs. The condensed
liquid, enriched in the more-valuable heavy components, is recovered.
The remaining vapor is repressurized and injected back into the well.

You want to examine the characteristics of the gas in the receiving vessel
so that you can make a decision about the pressure required to maximize
the amount of liquid condensed.
Generate a phase envelope plot for the feed stream. Also generate lines
of constant liquid mole fraction at 5%, 10% and 15%.
At an ambient temperature of 50°F (10°C), what pressure will be needed

to maximize the production of liquid?
SOLUTION After defining the components and thermodynamic method, add a

stream to the flowsheet and enter stream data. Add a Phase Envelope to
the flowsheet.
In the Phase Envelope dialog box, select the feed stream in the first row
of the grid. In the second row, select the feed stream and enter a Liquid
Mole Fraction of 0.05. In the same way, enter the other liquid mole frac-
tions in rows three and four.
Plot five graphs: one for each of the plots and one showing all the plots
together. Run the simulation. Select Output/Generate Plot... from the
menu bar and plot the phase envelope.

The VLE and enthalpies of natural gas systems are generally modeled
well by equations of state such as Peng-Robinson or Soave-Redlich-
Kwong. However, these methods are less good at predicting liquid den-
sity so a different method, such as COSTALD or API, should be used.
Hint: Use the Define feature to set the overhead rate from the column
as all the C4 and lighter components in the column feed.

Part A Answer the following questions:
1. Can the column still recover 99% of the C4 components overhead
with a loss of only 0.5% of the C5 components?
2. What are the duties on the condenser and reboiler?
3. What is the reflux ratio?
Part B Suppose we are using an existing column for this new separation. Not
only is it cheaper to modify an existing column, it is usually quicker to
do minor modifications than to wait for a new column. Use PRO/II to
determine how close the column will meet the new separation specifica-
tions. The problem is that equipment limitations make it unable to meet
the desired C5 product purity specification in the overhead stream.
Explore the following factors when an existing column cannot produce
the desired product specifications:
■ See if a higher reflux ratio will do the separation
■ Change the feed temperature
■ Move the feed tray location
■ Relax the product specification
Run a case study using the parameter settings provided in Table 26.

it can clearly cope with the new service.

Rigorous Heat Exchanger
TASK An existing heat exchanger runs with a shellside outlet temperature of

161°F. You want to increase the throughput of the exchanger and need to
calculate the shellside outlet temperature under the new conditions. Set
up the simulation of the exchanger. This exercise is in two parts:
Part A Determine the fouling of the heat exchanger under present operating
conditions.
Part B Using the fouling results from Part A, rate the existing fouled exchanger
for the increased throughput.

SOLUTION
Part A Determine the fouling of the heat exchanger under current operating
conditions. In this part of the exercise, you require a shellside outlet tem-
perature of 161°F.
Build the flowsheet and enter the UOM, components, and thermody-
namic data, as usual. Enter stream data.

In this example, the shellside outlet temperature is given and we want to
determine the fouling resistance. Select Shell Outlet Temperature from
the list and enter the value in the Temperature field.
➤ Click each button and enter the appropriate data. Fields outlined in
green means that, if you do not enter a value, PRO/II calculates one.
➤ In the Film Coefficients dialog box, set the tubing fouling resistance
to 0.
You want PRO/II to calculate an overall fouling resistance to meet the
specification. You could supply values for both the tubeside and a shell-
side fouling resistances and have PRO/II adjust them to meet the perfor-
mance specification. However, for simplicity, it is easier to set the
tubeside fouling resistance to zero and allow PRO/II to report the calcu-
lated overall resistance as the required shellside resistance.
➤ Click Print Options... to check the Extended box to request an addi-

tional data sheet with information about stream properties, heat
exchanger configuration and hydrodynamics.
➤ Run the simulation and view the results. Make a note of the required
shellside fouling resistance.

Part A Answer the following questions:

1. What are the amounts of liquid and vapor leaving the process?
2. What compressor work is required for each stage?
3. What are the stream temperatures entering the aftercoolers?
4. What are the aftercooler duties?
Part B If you have time, answer the following questions:

1. Can the same information still be obtained with fewer units in the
flowsheet? If so, simulate it and check that the data are available and
that the values are the same as in the original calculation.
2. Assuming that you only want to know the product streams from the
process, simulate the process with the minimum number of units
required.
SOLUTION
Part A The actual work is 43809 HP (32457 kW) for C-1 and 42805 HP (30893
kW) for C-2.
The temperatures entering the aftercooler are shown on the compressor

output and on the stream results. They are 196.5°F (93.3°C) for C-1 and
214.9°F (103.7°C) for C-2.

Part B 1. The heat exchangers are not required. You could omit these and use
the aftercooler option on the compressor. All the information
requested is still available.
2. If you only need the product stream information, compressor C-2
(and its aftercooler) may be removed. Set the flash D-3 to the condi-
tions leaving the aftercooler and the products will be identical. You
cannot remove C-1 as the temperature of D-2 is unknown. Liquid
from D-3 is flashed into the drum and reduces the temperature below
the aftercooler exit temperature. However, to simplify the flowsheet,
C-1 and its aftercooler could be replaced by a flash drum.

Propylene Chlorination Reactor
TASK In a propylene chlorination plant, chlorine reacts with propylene to pro-

duce allyl chloride, 1,2-dichloropropane, 1,3-dichloropropene and
hydrogen chloride. The reaction takes place at 800°F (425°C) and 70
psia (5 kg/cm2) in a homogeneous gas phase reactor and the resulting
products are separated in a fractionation section. Most of the unreacted
propylene is recycled back to the reactor. The reactor volume is 10 ft3
(0.3 m3).
