Using the Component Library for Modelling the LD-Converter Process Klaus Hack, Stephan Petersen, GTT-Technologies, Herzogenrath Peter Monheim, SMS Demag, Düsseldorf Anke Güthenke, Michael Modigell, IVT at RWTH Aachen, Aachen SF2M, Dec 12-14 2007, Paris, France
Why would SMS Demag start developing SimuSage? Integrated Thermodynamic Databank Systems such as FactSage are great tools for point calculations, range calculations, phase diagrams, etc. What about processes, i.e. multiple reactors interconnected via streams? Recycle/feedback streams? Dynamic behaviour? A library of other unit operations like mixers, splitters, heat exchangers? What about doing this quickly, with a minimum amount of coding? Including a user interface that somebody other than the developer can use? And what if you want to give your ready-made simulation to somebody else?
What is SimuSage? SimuSage is a ChemApp-based set of Delphi components for process simulation (flowsheeting) tasks Stream Mixer Stream ChemApp Borland Delphi™ Stream + = Equil. Reactor Stream Stream Phase Splitter Stream Stream
... is a set of visual components Visual programming RAD (Rapid Application Development) SimuSage ...
SimuSage ... ... is ideal for distributing ready-made simulations Delphi produces EXEs (just add ChemApp DLL) end user does not need Delphi
Available thermochemical data :All data managed by FactSage, plus more • Compound databases:> 4500 pure substances and stoichiometric compounds • Solution databases: • Oxides • Salts • Metallic alloys • Light and noble metals • Steel, copper and lead alloys • Ultrapure silicon • Aqueous solutions • Nuclear materials • Pulp and paper
The Materials Flow Scheme
Past and present SimuSage projects Metallurgy Combustion / power generation Syngas production (coal-to-liquid technology) Cement clinker production OXYCOAL-AC process Advanced metal halide lamp chemistry
Last but not least... Join our GTT workshop in June! Herzogenrath, last week in May or first week in June, 2008 user presentations 1-day FactSage and SimuSage hands-on sessions For details, see our GTT-News newsletter at www.gtt-technologies.de Look for the ChemApp and Simusage articles in the special IJMR issue 98(10) of this fall
