Overview

The presentation will describe modelling of Sulphur Condensers in the Sulphur Recovery Unit (SRU) for a large Middle-East gas processing facility. This work contributed to a more general failure analysis. Material shared will focus on fully transient Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation of shell-side natural circulation. Unique visual insights of two-phase circulation processes are included, with video animation of CFD predictions illustrating key features of flow and heat transfer phenomena. Supporting studies and modelling will also be discussed, including process data time-trends, Aspen HYSYS®/SulSim process simulations, and heat exchanger modelling with Aspen Shell and Tube Exchanger.

Presenters

Thomas Ralston, Kranji Solutions Pte Ltd

Tom’s career has encompassed experimental and analytical heat transfer research, consultancy, and process engineering software development. He worked for the UK National Engineering Laboratory (NEL), Hyprotech and AspenTech, before his current role as process heat transfer consultant with Kranji Solutions Pte Ltd.

Abdulqadir Aziz, Kranji Solutions Pte Ltd

Abdulqadir has specialized in CFD simulations, and prior to joining Kranji Solutions, his work ranged from racing car aerodynamics to wind turbine simulation.  More recently, he has undertaken a range of studies for major international process operators, simulating process separation, mixing and heat exchange. His experience has developed to include unsteady flow systems, often in highly complex geometries, with phase interaction as well as heat and mass transfer.
