Good morning all,

I have been provided a stream that was characterized by Distillation method UOP76, High Vacuum Distillation of High Boiling Range Petroleum Products".  I need to input this data into Chemcad/chemstations to run some process simulations.  However, I am limited to just ASTM or TBP distillation methods. The folks at chemstations are unable to offer advice on the best method to use for simulation.

 

Does anyone have experience with the UOP76 method and can you provide what type of parameters it is run under?  Do you know of a way to input it or convert it over to a ASTM method?

 

Thank you-

Hello AK47,

 

You need obligatorily to know the pressure value in UOP-76 after; you can review the ASTM D-1196 or D-2892 for temperature change in pressure function. The textbook Wauquier (Petroleum Refining Vol. 1) also gives information about this change. Other textbook is: Riazi, Characterization and Properties of Petroleum Fractions.

 

Maybe you can review in the data base in your University Library, or you can write to UOP web page for request this information (pressure value).

 

In few days I will go to the university library and will search this.

 

Regards,

 

Napo.

Perhaps your company can obtain the UOP test method where you can see all the relevant parameters. The cost of the standard is $325: http://www.harristes....asp?search=UOP

 

Maybe Dr Rao can help further if he sees this post.
