Abstract
In this paper, Peng-Robinson, Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic equations are considered for simulation of ten different separation columns of vinyl chloride unit of Iran Bandar Imam petrochemical company. The separation columns are related to different vinyl chloride unit sections namely: EDC Recovery & OXY EDC Washing, O-EDC Purification, EDC Cracking & VC Purification, Waste Water Treatment & VC Refining and HCl Recovery sections. Simulated quantities are: temperature, flow rate and average molecular weight of outlet flows of the mentioned separation columns. The results show that Wilson equation is the most appropriate equation for simulation of the separation columns of this unit.
Key Words: Equation of State, Activity Coefficient Equation, Phase Equilibria, Vinyl Chloride Unit, Simulation
