Question 2:
Simulate the process in Aspen HYSYS. Discuss all of your assumptions, process conditions,
the steps that you used to simulate the process starting from the selection of components,
thermo package, setting up reactions, setting up case studies etc.
Step 1:
Component list:
Methane (CH4), Carbon dioxide (CO2) ,Carbon monoxide(CO) , Hydrogen(H2), Water (H2O)
Step 2:
Fluid package: PRSV
Step 3:
Select mixer and name it.
Step 4:
Fill the condition:
For steam:
Temperature = 210C
Pressure = 16 bar
Molar flow = 3 kgmole/h
For natural gas:
Temperature = 30C
Pressure = 16 bar
Molar flow = 1 kgmole/h
Step 5:
Fill up the composition. Where composition for water =1 and natural gas = 1
Step 6:
Select heat exchanger.
Name the stream as shown and assume the pressure drop = 0 kPa
Step 7:
Fill the condition where temperature = 450oC and pressure = 1600 kPa
Step 8:
Select equilibrium reactor and name it.
Step 9:
For reaction 1:
Reaction 2:
CH 4 + H 2 O CO +3 H 2
CO+ H 2 O C O2 + H 2
Step 10:
Fill the condition as shown below.
Step 11:
Select the second heat exchanger and name it as shown.
Step 11:
Fill the condition as shown.
Question 3:
Develop case studies to increase the production of syngas (CO and H2) through:
a Manipulation of feed temperature
b Manipulation of reaction temperature
c Manipulation of operating pressure
