Where to Start?
PRO/II Software users, at all levels of experience, will benefit
greatly from working with this tutorial. If you are a first-time user,
you should work using this Getting Started Guide. Although not
recommended, experienced users may skip the Getting Started
Guide and move on to the User’s Guide.
How to Proceed?
Let’s get started with using PRO/II Software. Session 1 simulates
only three process units of the flowsheet shown in Figure 4-1. By
working through this exercise, you will gain familiarity with the
basic features of the simulator. You can complete the simulation of
the entire flowsheet by continuing with Session 2, which
demonstrates advanced features of PRO/II Software and
introduces some of the PFD tools. Finally, Session 3 explores some
of the tools to analyze the results of the simulation.
Some users may wish to jump right in and skip some (or all) of this
tutorial. At any time, whenever you are comfortable using the
program, feel free to leave the tutorial and begin working on your
own simulations.
The floating PFD palette, for adding streams and units, appears first
at the right of the flowsheet window. The floating PFD palette may
be moved anywhere on the desktop by clicking on its title bar,
holding the left mouse button down, and dragging it to its new
location. The floating Run palette can be relocated in the same
manner.
Process Units
Start building the process flowsheet for this session by laying down
each process unit and stream, one by one, on the PFD. Use
Figure 5-3 as a guide.
4. For separator F1, move the mouse cursor to the floating PFD
palette and click Flash icon.
Process Streams
To add process streams:
Note: By default, the names of the process units and streams are
automatically assigned by the program. For example, S1 for the
first stream, F1 for the first flash drum unit, V1 for the first valve,
and so on.
At this point, it is worth noting that the unsatisfied data are
indicated on the PFD. Units that have unsatisfied internal data (all
Note: The red color of the icon border indicates that data entry is
required.
20. On the Input menu, click Component Selection. The Compo-
nent Selection window appears.
22. Click Add -> to move this component to the Component Name/
Alias field (see Figure 5-7).
23. Repeat the previous two steps for each of the other compo-
nents: METHANE, ETHANE, PROPANE, IBUTANE, NBU-
TANE, IPENTANE, PENTANE, HEXANE, and HEPTANE
(these are the valid library component names).
Figure 5-8 illustrates the display after all the components are added.
Figure 5-8: Component Selection Window
32. Click Add-> to include this method set in the list of Defined
Systems (see Figure 5-11).
Stream Data
As noted above, stream S1 must be adjusted to work properly in our
simplified flowsheet. Table 5-1 shows the adjusted data for stream
S1.
Table 5-1: Feed Stream Information
37. Enter data in the red-bordered data entry fields. Optionally, you
may enter the description FEED for this stream.
To enter flow rate and composition data:
Click Flowrate and composition.
Select Total Fluid Flowrate in the Fluid Flowrate Specification
group box, and specify value 8 for the total stream flow rate as
shown in Figure 5-13.
Figure 5-13: The Stream Data Flowrate and Composition Window
40. Select Vapor Volume (Vap. Vol.) from the Basis list box. Select
m3 from the second column, and sec from the third column.
41. Click Change Units to return to the Stream Data Flowrate and
Composition window.
42. Fill in the fields for each component in the Composition Mole
list, using the mole percentages listed in Table 5-1 (see
Figure 5-15).
43. Press TAB to move to the next field. For example, enter 7.91
for Nitrogen. Press TAB and enter 73.05 for methane, and so
on. Figure 5-15 shows the filled-in values through Pentane. If
desired, use the scroll bar to move through the list.
44. After the composition data has been entered, click OK to return
to the main Stream Data window.
To specify the feed stream temperature and pressure:
45. For the First Specification data field, select Temperature
option, as shown in Figure 5-16.
46. Enter the temperature value of –84.
Note: The border of the pressure drop data field is colored green.
An entry here is not required because PRO/II automatically
assumes a default pressure drop of 0.0 psi if you do not enter
either a pressure or a pressure drop value.
50. Click Unit Specification and select Duty as the second specifi-
cation for the flash drum. A default value of 0.0 is provided by
PRO/II Software for this duty. Note the green border.
Figure 5-18: The Flash Drum Data Entry Window
Figure 5-18 illustrates the completed Flash Drum main DEW. There
are no red-bordered areas left that require data.
51. Click OK to continue.
Note: The unit identifier for the flash drum unit, F1, is no longer
bordered in red. This means that all process data required for this
unit has been specified.
57. Continue entering data for the other process units.
Optionally, you may enter a description for the unit. For e.g.,
VALVE.
59. Select the Outlet Pressure option in the Operating Parameter
field and enter the value of 125 psia.
60. Click OK to return to the main window. The completed Valve
data entry window is shown in Figure 5-21.
To provide data for the Expander:
61. Double-click the expander icon to open the Expander unit data
entry window. Optionally, you may enter a description for the
unit, e.g., EXPANDER.
62. Select the Outlet Pressure option in the Pressure and Work
Specifications field and input a value of 125 psia.
63. Change the Adiabatic Efficiency entry from its default value of
100% to 80% as shown in Figure 5-22.
64. Click OK to continue.
The main PRO/II window will now look like Figure 5-23
Figure 5-23: PRO/II After Input of all Required Data
Your PFD should now appear similar to Figure 6-2. The placement
of the unit operation icons that you added probably will be different
from shown. If you previously ran Session 1 successfully, the unit
operations and streams (that already have been solved) appear in
dark blue.
20. Click Streams on the floating PFD palette and lay down the fol-
lowing streams:
• A connector stream from the top of the demethanizer col-
umn to the inlet of one side of the first heat exchanger.
• A connector stream from the outlet of this side of the heat
exchanger to the inlet of the compressor unit.
• A product stream from the outlet of the compressor unit.
• A connector stream from the second outlet of the first heat
exchanger to the inlet of the second heat exchanger.
• A product stream from the outlet of the second heat
exchanger.
• A product stream from the reboiler of the column unit.
Note: Lay down streams that connect units visible in the different
view windows by pulling the stream from one view to the other.
This is especially helpful for large flowsheets.
You can now close the second window, Flowsheet:2, and maximize
the Flowsheet:1 window.
21. Double-click the control-menu box of Flowsheet:2 to close it.
22. Click the maximize button of the Flowsheet:1 window to maxi-
mize it.
33. Use Process Stream… to specify whether the process inlet and
outlet streams are on the cold or hot side.
34. Click Process Stream… in the Hot Side field. The Heat
Exchanger-Process Streams data entry window appears as in
Figure 6-8.
Figure 6-8: HX-Process Streams
35. Select stream S1 (the reconnected feed stream) to feed the hot
side, and stream S9 (the feed to the second heat exchanger) as
the hot side product.
36. Select stream S6 (the column overhead) as the feed to the cold
side, and stream S7 (the compressor feed) as the cold side prod-
uct.
40. Return to the main Heat Exchanger data entry window and
input a hot side pressure drop value of 10 psi and a cold side
pressure drop value of 5 psi in the appropriate Pressure Drop
data entry fields (see Figure 6-10).

PRO/II Software has built-in plotting capability, which can be used
to paste Excel plots directly into your reports. In the demethanizer
flowsheet, you may want to view the column profiles.
To set up your plot options:
25. Select the OptionsPlot Setup... from the main PRO/II win-
dow.
26. Choose the running Excel version from the drop-down list box.
27. Click OK to return to the PFD.
To create a plot:
28. Select the OutputGenerate Plot from the main PRO/II win-
dow to display the PRO/II - Generate Plot window, as shown in
Figure 7-12.
29. Select column T1 from the list displayed in the Units for Selec-
tion group box.
30. Select the type of plot you want to generate from the Available
Plots list.
Block Diagrams
For large flowsheets, you may want to organize the flowsheet with
subflowsheets. This is done using the PRO/II block diagram
feature.
To create a block diagram:
36. Drag a selection rectangle around the section of the flowsheet
containing the heat exchangers and the compressor, as illus-
trated in Figure 7-16.
37. Right-click and select the Collapse item from the right mouse
menu. The selection will be collapsed into a block diagram
(called BD1 by default) as shown in Figure 7-17.
38. Use the View 2 option, as described in Session 2, to view the
unit operations within the block diagram in a separate view.
Simply double-click on the block diagram to expand the icon.
Block diagrams can also be nested.
