I would like to know the following while simulating the existing columns
1. The parameters to be matched with actual values? Draw off temperatures, yields product qulaity etc.
2. Is there any stepwise method available on how to simulate the column?
If you have access to Hysys, you can easily simulate an Atmospheric Crude Column. If not, I can do it for you for a fee. G. Gordon Stewart, P.Eng.
