Features: This book focuses on introducing the simulation training methods for commonly used chemical engineering unit operation systems, including centrifugal pumps, heat exchangers, level control, furnaces, debutanizing columns, absorption and desorption, compressors, boilers, fixed-bed reactors, and fluidized-bed reactors, covering a total of ten units. To support vocational education and in-service training, each training unit includes: a brief description of the working principle, an introduction to the process flow, explanations of main equipment, controllers, instruments, and field valves, operating procedures (including cold start-up, normal operation, normal shutdown, emergency shutdown, and accident handling), DCS configuration results, and is accompanied by process flow diagrams with control points, simulation DCS diagrams, simulation field diagrams, and review questions. The book briefly introduces the basic concepts of system simulation, the application of process system simulation technology, the use methods of simulation training system student stations, and the operation methods of simulation DCS systems. It also compares the structures of PTS (Plant Training System) and STS (School Teaching System) in chemical engineering simulation training systems. This book can serve as a practical training textbook for chemical engineering students in universities, colleges, vocational schools, and for in-service training of chemical plant operators. It can also be used as a reference book for students majoring in instrumentation and automation.
