This course is offered by AEA Technology Engineering Software, Hyprotech Ltd. There are two course offerings: May 10-12, 2000 - Houston, TX, USA, ($1500 US) May 16-18, 2000 - Barcelona, Spain, (1350 Euros) This extensive three-day course covers the concepts critical to dynamic modelling that may be unfamiliar to engineers already experienced with steady state modelling. Evaluate and enhance plant-wide control strategies and develop in-house expertise using the powerful integrated simulation environment to create precision dynamic models for process and control design, and to meet safety and capacity requirements. The course will consist of morning lectures covering the fundamentals of dynamic simulation and process control, followed by afternoon problem solving sessions. The afternoon sessions will be hands-on computer simulation using the powerful dynamic capabilities of HYSYS. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of the underlying concepts and principles as well as the associated applications of HYSYS to solve real problems. Course Outline Day 1 Morning Lecture * Simulation Degrees of Freedom * Dynamic Process Characteristics * Capacitance * Dead time * Feedback Control Loops (SISO) * Conventional Controller Modes Afternoon Workshop * Introduction to HYSYS * Transitioning from Steady State to Dynamics * Separator Simulation and Control Day 2 Morning Lecture * Advanced Classical Controls * Cascade Control * Feedforward Control * Override Controls * Practical Controller Tuning * Individual Unit Operation Control Schemes Afternoon Workshop * Gas Plant Control examples * Cascade Control of Heat Exchangers * Feedforward Control of Heat Exchangers Day 3 Morning Lecture * Distillation Dynamics and Control * Control Structures * Steady State Screening * Dynamic Validation * Implementing a Plant-wide Control Strategy Afternoon Workshop * Debutaniser Casestudy * NGL Fractionation * Ethylene Glycol Plant Startup Register by phone, fax or through the internet.
