CHEMCAD Advanced (Part 2)

This course is best for users with CHEMCAD experience, or those who have taken CHEMCAD Part 1.
Participants will learn modeling techniques for advanced topics such as azeotropic mixtures, solid-liquid equilibria, electrolyte systems, piping networks, and user-defined Excel units.

 

This course takes place from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Agenda: 

  • Azeotropic behavior and separation of azeotropic mixtures
    Workshop homogeneous and heterogeneous azeotropic distillation

  • Physical property sources, estimation (pure component and mixture behavior), experimental determination

  • Solid-liquid equilibria and crystallization

  • Binary and ternary liquid-liquid equilibria

  • Extraction basics (Kremser, Hunter-Nash) 
    Extraction columns, balance lines
    Combination of extraction and distillation

  • Electrolyte systems
    Workshop electrolyte mixtures (gas sweetening)

  • Reaction kinetics and reactive distillation

  • Piping networks, pumps, and valves

  • Two-phase flow and emergency relief valves

  • META UnitOp (liquid ring pump example)

  • User UnitOp – Excel unit with mapping

 

About the Presenter

Dr. Jürgen Rarey is a physical properties and chemical process simulation specialist with a diploma in chemistry and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the Technical University of Dortmund (Germany). Since 1989, he has had a permanent position at the University of Oldenburg in the group of Prof. Gmehling, later Prof. Wark. During that time, he also co-founded DDBST GmbH, a well-known provider of thermophysical property data and estimation methods. Since 2016, Jürgen has served as a faculty member at ChEPS-KMUTT, Thonburi (Thailand), where he teaches regular courses on chemical thermodynamics.

Besides his experimental and theoretical work, Jürgen Rarey has been teaching courses for academia and industry on chemical thermodynamics, process simulation, and chemical process development. Dr. Rarey has authored about 50 publications in international journals, four books of the DECHEMA Chemistry Data Series, and the textbook Chemical Thermodynamics for Process Simulation (Wiley, 2012 and 2018).
