Aspen HYSYS Simulation of Suspension (Slurry) Process for the Production of Polyethylene
Abstract
Abstract
This study deals with the steady state simulation of polyethylene plant using Aspen HYSYS V10 simulation model. Looped reactor model is used to mimic the behaviour of the suspension (slurry) polymerization process. Effect of various operating conditions like the inflow rate of the monomer ethylene on solvent, catalyst, co-monomer and hydrogen flow rate are studied. Model predicted that the change in monomer flow rate linearly affected the process variables.
