    2 Liquid Pumping

    Workshop
    The liquids generated in the Refrigerated Gas Plant LTS are to be sent to
    storage facilities. It has been determined that a pump will be required
    to overcome frictional losses in piping. To flow into the storage vessel,
    the pressure of the LTS liquids must be increased to at least 8000 kPa.

    Learning Objectives
    In this workshop you will learn how to:

    Model pumps in HYSYS


    Use pump curves in HYSYS

    Building the Simulation


    In this workshop, a Pump is added after the Low Temperature Separator
    that was modelled in the Refrigerated Gas Plant in Module 4.

    The Pump Operation


    The Pump operation is used to increase the pressure of an inlet liquid
    stream. Depending on the information supplied, the Pump calculates
    either an unknown pressure, temperature or pump efficiency.

    Calculations
    The Pump will calculate the energy required to raise the pressure of a
    stream. Multiphase streams (including streams with an sizable vapour
    fraction) are acceptable. Calculations are based on the standard pump
    equation for power, which uses the pressure rise, the liquid flow rate
    and density:

    Calculations are based on the standard pump equation for power,


    which uses the pressure rise, the liquid flow rate and density:
    ( Pout Pin )* Flow rate
    Power Required ideal = --------------------------------------------------------
    -
    Liquid Density
    This equation defines the ideal power needed to raise the liquid
    pressure. The actual power requirement of the Pump is defined in
    terms of the Pump Efficiency:
    Power Required ideal
    - * 100
    Efficiency (%) = --------------------------------------------------------
    Power Required actual
    When the efficiency is less than 100%, the excess energy goes into
    raising the temperature of the outlet stream.

    Combining the above equations leads to the following expression for


    the actual power requirement of the Pump.This equation defines the
    ideal power needed to raise the liquid pressure. The actual power
    requirement of the Pump is defined in terms of the Pump Efficiency:
    ( P out P in )*Flow rate*100
    Power Required actual = -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -
    Liquid Density*Efficiency (%)

    4 Liquid Pumping

    Finally, the actual power is equal to the difference in heat flow between
    the outlet and inlet streams:

    Power Required actual = ( Heat Flow outlet Heat Flow inlet )

    If the feed is fully defined, you need only supply two of the following
    variables for the pump to calculate all unknowns:

    Outlet Pressure or Pressure Rise


    Efficiency
    Pump Energy

    HYSYS can also back-calculate the inlet Pressure.

    Note that for a Pump, an efficiency of 100% does not correspond to a


    true isentropic compression of the liquid. Pump calculations are
    performed by HYSYS with the assumption that the liquid is
    incompressible; that is, the density is constant (liquid volume is
    independent of pressure). This is the usual assumption for liquids well
    removed from the critical point, and the standard pump equation is
    generally accepted for calculating the power requirement. However, if
    you wish to perform a more rigorous calculation for pumping a
    compressible liquid (i.e. one near the critical point), you should instead
    install a Compressor to represent the pump.

    If you choose to represent a pump by installing a Compressor in HYSYS,


    the power requirement and temperature rise of the compressor will
    always be greater than those of the pump (for the same fluid stream),
    because the compressor treats the liquid as a compressible fluid. When
    the pressure of a compressible fluid increases, the temperature also
    increases, as does the specific volume. More work is required to move
    the fluid than if it were incompressible, exhibiting little temperature
    rise, as is the case with a HYSYS Pump.In addition to specify a pressure
    change across the pump, you can select to have the pressure change
    calculated via a Pump Curve, which is a quadratic expression which
    calculates pressure rise as a function of flow.

    Installing the Pump


    1. Open the Refrigerated GAs Plant case built in Module 4. If you
    have not saved the case you can open it from the diskette,
    a:\Module4.hsc
    2. Add a Pump operation to the simulation.
    3. On the Connections page, supply the Inlet, Outlet and Energy
    streams.

    4. Move to the Parameters page. Use the default Efficiency of 75%.

    5. On the Work Sheet page, supply a discharge pressure of 8000 kPa


    (1160 psia).

    Pump Curves
    Actual pump operating characteristics can be supplied in the form of
    coefficients for a quadratic equation which will determine the
    discharge pressure from the pump. These coefficients are supplied on
    the Curve page tab of the Pump unit operation. Note: If using curves to
    calculate the pump discharge pressure, ensure that the discharge
    pressure is not specified.

    If you wish to supply a pump curve, move to the Curve page and
    provide the coefficients for the quadratic pump equation, as well as the
    units for pressure and flow. Then select Enable Curves, and HYSYS will
    determine the pressure rise across the Pump for the given flowrate. This
    You can supply your actual functions in dynamic mode as well, with the outlet pressure varying as
    Pump curve in EXCEL and
    then regress the points to fit a a function of flow.

    can be put into HYSYS.
    Exercise 1
    You meet with a pump salesman who insists that his top-of-the line
    pump, which is very expensive, will meet your minimum discharge
    pressure (8000 kPa (1160 psia)). He provides you with the following
    coefficients for the pumps performance curve. Should you start
    preparing a purchase order?

    A=450

    B=-2

    C=-0.05

    The units are:

    Head, m
    Flow Basis, Act Vol Flow
    Units for Flow, m3/h
