  2. Heuristics for Process Design Chapter 6 in Seider Terry A. Ring

  3. Heuristics • 1-Select raw materials and chemical reactions to avoid or reduce the handling and storage of hazardous and toxic chemicals. • 2-Use an excess of one chemical reactant in a reaction to consume completely a valuable, toxic or hazardous chemical reactant. (see MSDS for chemical hazards)

  4. Heuristics • 3-For pure products, eliminate inert species before reaction when separations are easy and when the catalyst is adversely affected by the inert, but not when a large exothermic heat of reaction must be removed. Reactor Heat Balance Q - Ws - FAoΣθiCp_i(T-To) – FAoX [ΔHºR(TR) + ΔCp(T-TR)=0 Adiabatic, no shaft work T=(X [- ΔHºR(TR)+ ΔCpTR] + ΣθiCp_iTo)/(ΣθiCp_i + X ΔCp)

  5. Heuristic • 4- Introduce purge streams to provide exists for impurities when the impurities are in trace quantities or difficult to separate. Light species leave via vapor purge and heavier species leave via liquid purge streams.

  6. Heuristic • 5- Do not purge species that are valuable or toxic or hazardous even in small concentrations. Add separators to capture valuable species. Add reactors to eliminate toxic or hazardous species.

  7. Heuristic • 6- Byproducts that are produced in reversible reactions, in small quantities, are usually not recovered in separators or purged. Instead they are recycled to extinction. C Reactor A+BC A  D A, B, D Feed A, B

  8. Heuristic • 7-For competing reactions, both in series and parallel adjust T and P and catalyst to obtain high yields of the desired products. Check that there are no kinetic limits to this assumption. Test Thermodynamic Limits with Gibbs Reactor Verify and Test Kinetic Limits with PFR or CSTR

  9. Heuristic • 8-For reversible reactions, consider conducting them in a separation device capable of removing the products driving the reaction to more products. This gives a very different distribution of products. Reactive Distillation Reactor with selective membrane wall

  10. Separation Heuristics • 9- Separate liquid mixtures with distillation, stripping, enhanced distillation, LL extraction, crystallization and/or adsorption. • 10-Condense vapor mixtures then separate via Heuristic 9 • 11-Separate vapor mixtures using partial condensation, cryo D, absorption, adsorption, membrane sep. and/or desublimation. • 12-20 Separations involving particles Heuristics

  11. Reaction Heat Heuristics • 21-High exothermic heat of reaction: Consider using excess reactant, inert diluents or cold shots of reactant. Consider them early on in the design • 22-Lower exothermic heat of reaction: Use heat exchanger on/in reactor. Or use intercoolers between adiabatic reaction stages. • 23-High endothermic heat of reaction: Consider use of excess reactant, inert diluents or hot shots. Consider them early on in the design. • 24-Lower endothermic heat of reaction: Use heat exchanger on/in reactor. Or use interheaters between adiabatic reaction stages.

  12. Heat Exchanger Heuristics • 25-Use shell and tube HX in counter current for process streams. For T>750F use furnace. • 26-Near optimal approach ΔT’s • Below ambient 10F • Ambient to 300F 20F • Higher Temps 50F • 250 to 350 for furnace • 27-CW temperature range used is 90 to 120 F • 28-Boiling a liquid use 45 F approach ΔT • Nucleate boiling Heat Transfer • 29-30 Other HX Heuristics • 29 Zone Analysis • Condensation • Vaporization • 30 Flame Temps and Stack gas Temp (650-950F) • Prevents condensation and corrosion • 31- ΔP in HX • 1.5 psi for boiling or condensation • 3 psi for gas • 5 psi for low viscosity liquid • 7-9 psi for high viscosity liquid • 20 psi for process fluid in furnace • 32 Quench hot gases to 1150F before HX, • 33 particle HX R1 Reactants ? Hx Separation System T x

  13. Pressure Operation Heuristics • 40-42- pressure decrease (Expander or Turbine) • 43-pump a liquid rather than compress a gas, unless refrigeration is needed. • 44- Air leak rate into vacuum • 45-47 Vacuum pumps Vapor HX Vapor HX
