The desired management of the amount of thermal energy in the plant, every day, becomes more relevant in the operation, given that it impacts on the variable operating costs, as well as the carbon footprint of the product and the company. For this reason, any type of industry, such as CPG, chemical, Oil and Gas, Pharmaceuticals, among others, has become a key KPI in production, which is why companies are interested in knowing the specific amount of energy that their raw materials use at the right time, providing this information to the person. appropriate, to make appropriate decisions.

The application presented has the calculation of the material balance for three types of energy sources, named as follows:

  • LP, Low Pressure,
  • MP, Medium Pressure,
  • HP, High Pressure,

And each of them is evaluated against a flow of:
1000 Kg/h, 5000 Kg/h and 10,000 Kg/h, to have an instantaneous energy balance.

 

 

What is this for?

The application of configuring an energy balance for specific operating conditions, covering low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure regions, which are described above. Studio5000 is used, the PlantPAx version 4.1 libraries for the Vapor libraries, the FTLogix Echo, for configuration and simulation, in the amounts of energy and flows, so the user can modify the variables mentioned below, in order to explore its configuration in more detail:

  • Temperature Variation
  • Pressure Variation
  • Amount of Energy in real time
  • Region of thermodynamics where T and P are located, with respect to their Tsat and Psat the water vapor


General characteristics

The configuration of an energy balance in low, medium and high pressure conditions, which offers the following characteristics:

  • Adjustable steam flow reference.
  • Use of the Steam tables in Low, Medium and High pressure.

 

Advantages

Shows the integration of tools from the PlantPAx process libraries in the configuration of process equipment.

  • Demonstrates the use of Studio 5000 in dynamic modeling of energy balance calculations.
  • Allows you to relate the Studio 5000 with simulation tools such as the FTLogix Echo.
  • Speeds up configuration time for low, medium, and high pressure energy balances using steam libraries.
  • Exhibits scalability and repeatability to adapt to various industrial environments.
  • Allow agile and precise modifications according to changing needs.
  • Optimize performance in terms of efficiency and productivity.
