Insynto
Insynto integrateds different shortcut methods for process synthesis. Beside basic thermodynamic analysis algorithms like azeotrope calculation, pressure-liquid-boiling diagrams and residue curves, it integrates methods for feasibility analysis of separations and the calculation of minimum energy demands. Within this project, we cooperate with well known research groups at RWTH Aachen University and University of Kaiserslautern as well as with global players in chemical industry.
Main features of Insynto:
- Various tools for fast process synthesis in one toolbox
- Feasibility analysis with infinity-infinity calculations
- Minimum Energy demand calculation for Unit-Operations
- Flowsheet Optimization with constraint definition
- Algorithms from different research projects of universities (RWTH Aachen University, University of Kaiserslautern)
- Independent thermodynamics by PLIB .dat files
Separation Design with Shortcut Methods
Designing separation sequences is important to achieve efficient processes. The Shortcut Toolbox effectively support you in this task.
Simplify Assessment of Separation Steps
In order to gain qualitative insight into a separation, the tools help you to
- determine azeotropes,
- find miscibility gaps,
- draw residue curve diagrams, and
- compute mass balances.
These steps are easily applied to mixtures with an arbitrary number of components. The analysis is based on non-ideal property models using existing property data.
Reduce Energy Cost
Based on the rectification body method (RBM) developed at Process Systems Engineering (AVT.PT) at RWTH Aachen University, you can
- easily determine the feasibility of separation steps,
- calculate the minimum energy demand, and
- quickly screen separation alternatives for energy efficient candidates.
Minimize Entrainer Demand
An extension to the distillation shortcut permits the computation of minimum entrainer demand in addition to energy demand for homogeneous extractive distillation.
