During the period 5/1/85 through 5/31/85 work was performed on the following tasks: Task No. 1-2 Methanation Model; and Task No. 1-3 Rectisol Model. The first task in providing a rating model of the Methanation Section was to develop a reaction kinetic expression that can be used in ASPEN. It is intended to insert this expression in a separate user subroutine that will be called by the RPLUG reactor model of ASPEN. RPLUG will be used in place of RGIBBS, which is used in the present flowsheet model of the Methanation Section. Based on the recommendations contained in the final topical report for the Rectisol Plant (February 1985), work was begun on: (1) attempting to merge the simulation of the Main Sequence and the Methanol Recovery Sequence; and (2) verification of the major assumptions made in preparing these simulations by reviewing the Rectisol Plant PMX diagrams.
