Students seeking a tool to learn and practice modeling separation processes such as distillation, absorption, and extraction
About ChemSep
ChemSep is a column simulator designed for distillation, absorption, and extraction operations, combining classic equilibrium stage and nonequilibrium (rate-based) models within an intuitive interface. The software includes a comprehensive library of capacity and mass transfer performance parameters for trays and packings, facilitating accurate modeling of actual column performance. ChemSep's design mode allows for automatic simulation and column diameter determination based on specified fractions of the flood, integrating vendor design methods and pressure drop models for trayed and packed columns. The program supports various column configurations and specifications, enabling users to solve separation problems efficiently. ChemSep operates as a standalone application or can be embedded within any CAPE-OPEN compliant flowsheeting package, utilizing their thermodynamic and physical property data.
