Process plant knowledge based simulation and design

Abstract

A many number of modelling and simulation systems have been developed to aid in process and product engineering. In this paper the knowledge based process plant simulation model was developed. On the model development side, the issues of knowledge representation in the form of systematic component composition, ontology, and interconnections were illustrated. As a case study a plant for starch sweet syrup production was used. The system approach permits the evaluation of feasibility and global plant integration, and a predicted behavior of the reaction systems. The obtained results of the this paper have shown the variety quality of syrups simulation for different products.
