Abstract
Results are reported on the flowsheet simulation studies of new oilseed processes suitable for local conditions. A process model was developed and new design simulation methods using Computer Aided Design (CAD) approach were employed for the preliminary investigation of a number of alternative scenarios.
Results have shown that new processes should give considerable investment savings if separation of the crude product is not carried out by distillation. However, the economics of processes using alternative separation technology is highly dependent on operating conditions.
The use of spreadsheet programs for flowsheet evaluation studies offers opportunities for application of CAD techniques in local design teams as an effective tool for preliminary process analysis, planning and evaluation.
