Training Course
We are providing a two day training course on 16th and 17th November in Teesside.

Course will cover steady state process modelling fundamentals on thermodynamics, pipe networks, emergency relief, absorption, distillation and heat exchangers using CHEMCAD.

John Edwards is presenting the CHEMCAD Dynamics Course in Houston on 19th to 21st October for Chemstations.

Contact ams@pidesign.co.uk or jee@pidesign.co.uk for further details.

New Papers
New paper on Absorption & Stripping Process Modelling added to Whitepapers.

New paper on distillation process simulation discussing the mass and energy balance basics, thermodynamic model selection, vapour liquid equilibrium and residue curve mapping.

CHEMCAD New Release
CHEMCAD New release Version 6.3.0 includes new features to increase calculation speed, improved convergence features, improved AMINE model to include Enhancement Factor for CO2 absorption and many new features in CC-THERM.

Carbon Capture & Storage
In response to the increasing importance of Carbon Capture and Storage from Power Plant, Chemstations have developed new thermodynamic models for investigations into the viability and economics.

A new special K model now allows study of Pre-combustion Carbon Capture using adaptations of the well established Selexol physical solvent absorption process.

An AMINE model is already available for the study of chemical absorption using MEA, DEA and similar mixtures which can be treated as pseudo-components.

A modified Benedict Webb Ruben Starling K model is now available, with special CO2 parameters, for the study of CO2 compression and pipeline transfer to storage.

Chemstations have released a new application note “Power Plant Carbon Capture with CHEMCAD”. This paper is available for download in the White Papers section.

P&I Design have been actively involved in developing CCS simulations in both The Pre-combustion and Post-combustion CCS fields.
