Abstract :
Power plant process simulation software is well-suited for the modelling of energy systems and more importantly, tools for analysing the energy efficiency are often built into the software. This work presents the development of a simulation model for a sulphuric acid plant using a commercial software package for power plant process simulation. This will be of value to for instance small consultant and engineering companies involved with audits and analysis of energy systems. For small sized companies the cost of acquiring and maintaining many different specialised software packages will be noticeable. However, companies involved with audits and analysis of energy systems will in most cases have access to at least one software package for power plant process calculations. The use of this kind of software for also modelling chemical plants would be valuable to these companies. The results of this work shows that it is possible to use an inexpensive but powerful power plant process simulation software for modelling a common chemical process as a part of a large energy system.
