Equation and System based

- Dynamic modelling

- Mass and energy balances for free

- High modelling flexibility

- Graphical User Interface

- Library of equations

- Easy extendable libraries for predefined unit operations

- Flexible when user models are to be incorporated

- No problems with initialization of models

Why Mobatec?

www.mobatec.nl

- Time spent on modelling often greater than time needed for finding solution

- Higher complexity of models

- Assist in model building

- Reduce time effort

- Reduce low-level modelling errors

- Provide input for existing simulators

- Increase maintainability of models

Models also understandable by persons who did not develop the

model

Building-up a model

Field Operation

DCS

Simple Example

- CSTR for liquid phase.

- 2 inlets and 2 outlet (one in the bottom + one overflow).

- Streams consisting of a mixture of Water and Methanol.

- Monitoring of main variables, either numerically (i.e.

level) or graphically (i.e. composition, temperature, flows,

etc.).

- Possibility to change manually valve positions and inlet

compositions during simulation.

- Level in the tank controlled by manipulating the valve

position of the outlet stream.

Equation Topology

- Information of Physical Topology and Species Topology .

- Define details, i.e. the Constitutive Equations: Select equations

for transfer laws, kinetics, geometry, equations of state, etc.

from (extensible) database.

Generating balance equations is trivial !

(Automated by Mobatec Modeller)

- Important for model completion: consistent set of equations

and consistent initial values.
