Synthite - Batch Commodity - Flex Process LTD

Batch Commodity Chemicals:

Process concept development, basic and detailed design, functional safety.

The Problem

A new batch process was to be installed in an existing facility in a short time period with limited budget. The project was complex, high risk and there was limited process information available. The process required a heat source that was higher temperature than the site steam supply.

The Solution

Advanced process simulation was used to define the detailed process steps.
Key equipment sized (distillation, heat exchangers) using the model and tested for all batch phases.
Cycle time optimised with dynamic simulation.
Comprehensive support with concept, basic and detailed process design phases.
Process and functional safety closely integrated into the process design.

The Benefits

Accurate design underpinned by cutting edge simulation ensured that process works right first time saving 3 months and 10% of capital cost.
Optimised cycle time at the early design phase increases production rate by 20%.
