A study on the software integration for solvent recovery system based on computer simulation

For meeting the demands of chemical process simulation, an approach to integrating the defined software and the profession simulation software is proposed. Firstly, the paper developed the software integration framework for the chemical process operation system base on information sharing. Secondly, the corresponding models between defined software and common simulation software are developed based on ActiveX technology. Finally, the proposed approach and technology are verified through its application in the solvent recovery system. A unit of system is simulated with neural network, while other units are simulated by ASPEN PLUS.
