Hi there,
I'm trying to simulate a simple trayed stripper column, for the removal of ethylene oxide from water (liquid binary mixture) using Hysys. I do not have specific operation conditions, the only requirements are:
a) all the incoming/outgoing flows, as well as the column, have to operate at constant pressure (preferably 1 atm)
b ) the vapor inlet has to be pure steam (or air)
c) the inlet of the binary mixture must be on a temperature at which is 100% liquid,
d) the concentration of ethylene oxide in the the overhead vapor outlet needs to be greater than in the liquid inlet (since the objective is to purify it)
However I'm not sure how to proceed, the software doesn't have a stripping system in the object palette. So far I've been using an absorber but I can get it to converge.
Please help, any advice would be really appreciated.
