Abstract:Tight integration through material and energy recycling is essential to the energy efficiency and economic viability of process and energy systems. Equation‐oriented (EO) steady‐state process simulation and optimization are key enablers in the optimal design of integrated processes. A new process modeling and simulation concept based on pseudo‐transient continuation is introduced. An algorithm for reformulating the steady‐state models of process unit operations as differential‐algebraic equation systems that are statically equivalent with the original model is presented. These pseudo‐transient models improve the convergence of EO process flowsheet simulations by expanding the convergence basin. This concept is used to build a library of pseudo‐transient models for common process unit operations, and this modeling concept seamlessly integrates with a previously developed time‐relaxation optimization algorithm. Two design case studies are presented to validate the proposed framework. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J 60: 4104–4123, 2014
