Abstract

The article is devoted to the description of the complex method to design granulation unit, which is based on the joint use of the computer modeling results on the simulation models and software modeling based on author’s software products. The description of the software package Granulation Unit© to carrying out the structural and technological calculations for the granulation unit is given. The role of computer and software modeling in the general design algorithm of the granulation unit is shown. The optimization criteria are selected and an algorithm of design optimization for granulation unit is described using the example of the “Vortex Granulator” case. A general method of granulation unit designing “turnkey” with the use of automated design elements is presented. The results of automated calculations form the base to design an industrial granulation unit for the porous ammonium nitrate production. On the example of a specific product of the granulation unit (porous ammonium nitrate), the author’s software product is presented to determine the quality of the porous surface in the granule. This approach in modeling allows to create the automated systems for the optimization calculation of granulation equipment.

Highlights

  • The optimal decision regarding the chemical apparatuses design of the chemical unit and technological principles of its operation can be made only on the basis of the complex design using modern means of the automated calculation [1, 2]

  • Combining various methods to carry out the simulation multifactorial experiment enables strictly to follow the optimization criterion, set by the designer thanks to the possibility for customer to take in excess the definite number of the initial parameters in the chemical and technological system, controlling actions and necessary final features of the unit [3]

  • The optimization criterion, in this case, is to ensure the minimum required time; the granule stays in the granulator workspace, which will let to form a complete crystal structure of the granule with certain hardness indicators and the monodispersity degree of the commodity fraction
