Your needs do not require Aspen Plus, there is no way to get it free or any plant similation software. Either hire a consultant for a onetime project to do the run or buy the program.

You can try Chemsep on

You can use LITE version which is limited, for free.

Another program that is great is BR&E's PROMAX. It is not free , but is excellent.

If you do not have the software then you can hire a consultant. It's not worth writing your own on this.

There are other process simulators such as VMGsim and HYSYS.

I hope this helps.
