Server Installation
This chapter describes the installation procedure for the ROMeo 6.0 Server application, including the Thermo Data Manager 3.5 (TDM), the Common Framework Install 4.0 (CFI), the TAO 1.4a CORBA application and the ObjectStore 7.2 ODBMS application.
Coexistence Requirements
ROMeo 6.0 and 5.0x do not co-exist with earlier versions of ROMeo and ARPM. You must uninstall from the server system, all versions prior to 5.0 and all support software for earlier versions. To successfully install ROMeo software, your machine must meet these criteria: No version of ROMeo or ARPM 4.3x or earlier can be installed No version of ObjectStore earlier than 7.2 can be installed No version of TAO installed as part of ROMeo and ARPM 4.3x or earlier can be installed
ROMeo 6.0 software co-exists with ROMeo 6.0 and ARPM 6.0. The following Simsci-Esscor products co-exist with ROMeo 6.0 software. PRO/II 8.3x and 9.0. Dynsim 4.4x and 4.5x. PipePhase 9.3x and 9.5x, InPlant 4.2, Visual Flow 5.4. Please check InPlant documentation to see if it co-exists with higher versions. ROMeo 6.0 IPSM (Integrated PipePhase Model) supports only PipePhase 9.3x. You cannot use other versions of PipePhase with IPSM.
Check SimSci-Esscor documentation to see if higher versions of the above products co-exist with ROMeo 6.0 software.
Coexistence of ROMeo 6.0 with ROMeo 5.x Versions

ROMeo 5.x versions uses Object store 6.3 version for database handling. From ROMeo 6.0, we have migrated to Object Store 7.2 version for database handling. There are coexistence problems of using both Object Store Versions 6.3 and 7.2 in the same machine. Therefore, we do not officially recommend using ROMeo 5.x versions and ROMeo 6.0 version in the same machine. However, we have a recommended procedure below, to use both ROMeo 5.x and ROMeo 6.0 version in the same machine.
ROMeo Getting Started Guide and Tutorial August 2011 13
Pre-installation Steps for Smooth Installation of ROMeo 6.0 on top of ROMeo 5.x version
Before installing ROMeo 6.0 software in a machine having ROMeo 5.x version, follow the below mentioned steps: 1. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, stop the below two services and change the startup Type to Manual. i. ObjectStore Cache Manager R6.0 ii. ObjectStore Server R6.0 2. Create temp directory in the objectStore Installation directory ...\...\Simsci\Objectstore 3. Rename the ObjectStore directory in the ROMeo Installation directory e.g. Rename the directory from ...\...\SimSci\Objectstore) to (...\...\SimSci\Objectstore_6.3 4. Install ROMeo 6.0 and you can start to work with this new version.
Procedure to swap back to ROMeo 5.x

Follow the procedure to work with ROMeo 5.x version: 1. Close all the ROMeo 6.0 applications. Take all the sequences Offline and close RTS. 2. Go to Task Manager and kill RTMsgServer.exe and RTScheduler.exe if they are running already. 3. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, stop the below two services and change the startup Type to Manual. i. ObjectStore Cache Manager R7.0 ii. ObjectStore Server R7.0
4. Rename the ObjectStore72 folder in the ROMeo Installation directory e.g. Rename the directory from ...\...\SimSci\Objectstore72 to ...\...\SimSci\Objectstore72_7.2 5. Rename the ObjectStore_6.3 directory back to its original name(i.e., Objectstore) 6. Go to Environmental Variables (Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environmental Variables -> System Variables) and change the values of OS_ROOTDIR, OS_TMPDIR so that they point Objecstore6.3 directories.

Thermo Data Manager Installation

Thermo Data Manager 3.5 (TDM) and higher versions of TDM update the registered available TDM library databanks from the \DOCUMENTSAND SETTINGS\...\APPLICATION DATA\SIMSCI\TDM\USERCFG.XML file. If previous versions of TDM are installed or uninstalled with the system environment variable TDM_ROOT defined, TDM 3.5 installs using the older TDM version method for library databank registration through the \SIMSCI\TDM\CFG\LIB\...\LIB.CFG file. If you uninstall all previous versions of TDM, it is recommended that you delete any instances of the TDM_ROOT system environment variable before you install TDM version 3.5 or higher. Eliminating the TDM_ROOT system environment variable allows you to take advantage of the updated method of TDM library registration. By default, TDM databank library registration through TDM 3.5 is not the same for all user logins. To enable common TDM library registration for all users, copy an updated USERCFG.XML file to the \DOCUMENTSAND SETTINGS\ALLUSER\APPLICATION DATA\SIMSCI\TDM folder, or copy an updated LIB.CFG file to the \SIMSCI\TDM\CFG\LIB\ALLUSERS folder.

Server Installation Requirements

This section lists the requirements for hardware, software, disk space, and security. You must fulfill all these requirements before you try to install ROMeo 6.0.
Hardware Requirements
Computer Intel: Most IBM or compatible Pentium or 586 computers. Clock speed should be at least 1 gigahertz (GHz). ROMeo software can run on slower computers, but the performance may be unacceptably slow. Intel: 600 MB of system memory, or higher.
Memory:
Software Requirements
Network Protocol 32-bit Operating System TCP/IP is required. Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4, or Windows XP Service Pack 2, or Windows XP Service Pack 3, or Windows 2003 with Service Pack 1, or Windows 2003 with Service Pack 2, or Windows 2008 Server R2 Windows 7 64-bit Operating System Windows 2003 with Service Pack 2 Windows 7 Windows 2008 Server R2 You must have administrative rights to install ROMeo software properly.
Disk Space Requirements

Your server must have at least 600 MB of available disk space. The ROMeo 6.0 installation program automatically checks your system resources and notifies you if the system does not have enough resources for the installation. The 600 MB figure applies to ROMeo 6.0 software only and does not include space required for Model Application databases. You should allocate at least two gigabytes for building large Model Applications and for running case studies.
Security Requirements
Firewalls and Virus Scan programs degrade performance. Optimal performance may only be possible after you disable firewalls and virus scanners.
17
SimSci-Esscor recommends that you disable any of the following scan services that you may have running: Windows Firewall or Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) services Network Associated Virus Scan Mcshield.exe service Network Associated Virus Scan VsTskMgr.exe service McAfee Framework Services.exe service
If you are not allowed to disable the scans, then you must at least exclude Simsci-Esscor installed folders and processes. Data Encryption Protection (DEP) must be set to Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only. SimSci-Esscor recommends that you disable any of the following firewalls that you may have running. Windows Firewall Norton (Symantec) Firewall McAfee Firewall
If you cannot disable the firewall, then you must at least place the firewall in learning mode.
System Recommendations for Large Flowsheets

To achieve optimal performance when you run ROMeo version 6.0 flowsheet databases that are larger than 200 MB in size, your machine must meet these criteria.
Processor Speed Memory SCSI/RAID Controller Graphic Card Any processor 3 gigahertz (GHz) or faster. 3.2 GB of system memory (RAM), or higher. No RAID, RAID0 or RAID5. RAID1 (Mirrored set without parity) reduces performance. High-performance graphics cards, such as NVIDIA Quadro, Radeon, ATI ES1000, or any card that has 200MHz core clock speed or greater, and 250MHz memory clock speed or greater. The default setting of 0X30000000 provides optimal performance. Larger flowsheets may require higher OS_AS_SIZE settings to properly run or view the flowsheets. This reduces performance. The default setting of 0X20000000 provides the most optimal performance. Larger flowsheets may require higher OS_AS_SIZE settings to properly run or view the flowsheets. This reduces performance.
OS_AS_SIZE
OS_CACHE_SIZE
18
ROMeo or ARPM Cache
256 MB or smaller cache setting may be required to export, import, copy and paste flowsheets and sections of flowsheets. Very large flowsheets may require larger cache settings for faster performance.
Firewall and Virus Scan
Disable all firewall and virus scans; or exclude Simsci, ROMeo and ARPM folders and processes from firewall and virus scan programs.
Default Directory Structure for Server

The ROMeo 6.0 Server and its associated programs are installed in the following default directory structure: Main ROMeo 6.0 Server directory: C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER Binary files: C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER\BIN Model Application (flowsheet) databases : C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER\MODELAPPS ROMeo security database and initialization files: C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER\SECURITY RTS sequence files: C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER\SEQUENCES System files: C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER\SYSTEM User files: C:\SIMSCI\ROMEO60\SERVER\USER TDM 3.5 (Thermo Data Manager) directory: C:\COMMON FILES\SIMSCI\TDM35 TDM 3.5 Software Binary files: C:\COMMON FILES\SIMSCI\TDM35\BIN TDM Component files: C:\COMMON FILES\SIMSCI\TDM35\CMPFILES TDM Help Files:

The directory C:\DOCUMENTSAND SETTINGS\<USER>\APPLICATION DATA\ SIMSCI\ROMEO 6.0\USER contains two files that the uninstall process does not delete: ROMEO.INI and RTUMAIN.INI. These files contain ROMeo and ROMeo RTS configuration settings. To re-install the same ROMeo versions with default settings, you must first delete these files. The directory C:\DOCUMENTSAND SETTINGS\<USER>\APPLICATION DATA\ SIMSCI\ROMEO 6.0\USER contains two folders that the uninstall process does not delete: MODELAPP and RTS. These folders contain PERSIST_APPLICATIONLOOK.XML files that determine GUI icon and menu configuration. To re-install the same ROMeo versions with default settings, you must first delete these folders.

How to Swap to different ROMeo 6.0 Products

By default if you install ROMeo 6.0 software, the product will install ROMeo OPS 6.0. Therefore, after installation, if you try to launch ROMeo 6.0 from the Start menu, it will look like Figure 32.
Figure 32 ROMeo 6.0 Start Menu Option
To SWAP to some other product, the user needs to click on Select ROMeo Suite Product and it opens a new tab as seen in Figure 33 below.
Figure 33 ROMeo 6.0 Options
Select one of the options displayed. For example, to swap to ROMeo ARPM 6.0, click Select ROMeo 6.0 ARPM 6.0. After clicking, re-open the Start menu and now all icons will change to ROMeo ARPM 6.0 as shown in Figure 34 below:
57
Figure 34 ROMeo ARPM 6.0 Start Menu Options
Now the user can launch ROMeo ARPM 6.0 or ROMeo ARPM Real Time System 6.0. User can choose to swap to any product he wants to use. Therefore, if the user swaps to ROMeo MBM 6.0, then he can launch ROMeo MBM 6.0 and its respective RTS. The Captive Historian, the Model Library Manager 6.0. SIM4ME Portal2.1.1 is common to all the products of the ROMeo 6.0 Suite.
To launch these different products of ROMeo 6.0 Suite, the user should have separate licenses for each of these. For example, ROMeo OPS 6.0 and ROMeo MBM 6.0 has different license and the same applies to other 3 products as well. User can still swap to any product even if he does not have the respective license. However, after swapping, user cannot use a particular product even after the swap is successful.
User can use the same databases or models on any of these products. For example, if the user creates a Chiller DB on the product ROMeo OPS 6.0, the user can swap to a new product called as ROMeo MBM 6.0 and open the same Chiller DB created on ROMeo OPS 6.0. However, he cannot solve the chiller DB on ROMeo MBM 6.0 as it does not support all ROMeo OPS 6.0 models.
The swap should be ideally done when no executable / process of the product to be swapped is running. What it means is suppose you have originally the product as ROMeo OPS 6.0, a model apps open or a RTS Sequence open for ROMeo OPS 6.0 and if you try to swap to ROMeo MBM 6.0, then it will not allow saying that some related processes of ROMeo OPS 6.0 are running. To swap to a different product, the user needs to ensure that all executable / process of the current product is closed.
58
This Swap feature is supported for both Admin and Non Admin Users. However, currently, non-admin users will not be able to stop RTS Scheduler and Msg Server processes as they run under SYSTEM account, thus preventing the Swap mechanism. This issue will be addressed in future releases.
Swap of any product does not change the installation files and it remains the same. Uninstallation is independent of product swap. For example, you installed ROMeo OPS and then swapped to ARPM. At this point you can uninstall the product without any problem.
59
License Swap in Distributed Client Server System

1. In case the user has a distributed client server install then the swap has to be done on both the client machine and Server machine for the Client and Server machine to work..When the ROMeo or RTS client is launched, it first checks that the product name for both the Server and Client is the same. If not it states the disparity with the product name on both the client side and server side and also state how the user should select the licensed product to correct this disparity. The launch quits after displaying this message. The user can check the log files Client\User\LicenseSwapLog.txt and Server\User\Logs \LicenseSwapLog.txt to see who performed the swap and when. 2. If the client and server product names are same the launch continues as normal with respective product license.
Multiple User License Swap Cases

1. User A Installs ARPM from common Install. User B logs in. He runs Personalize ARPM 6.0 Client from start menu and launches ARPM. 2. User A Installs ARPM from common Install. User B logs in and wants to use ROMeo software. He runs product swap by clicking Select ROMeo 6.0 and then runs Personalize ROMeo 6.0 Client from start menu to get ROMeo launch shortcuts and then runs ROMeo. User A installs ARPM from common Install. User B logs in. He runs Personalize ARPM 6.0 Client from start menu and launches ARPM. User A logs in again, swap product to MBM, and uses it. User B logs in again and tries to launch ARPM from ARPM Short cut. Launch fails and says that Server Product is MBM and Client product is ARPM and so he needs to swap to resolve this discrepancy. The User B can check the log files Client\User\LicenseSwapLog.txt and Server\User\LicenseSwapLog.txt to see who performed the swap and when. User B wants to use ARPM and so he swaps to ARPM and uses it.
Reactor Licensing
In ROMeo 6.0, there are seven new reactor models available, namely, SimSci HFAlky, SimSci SFAlky, SimSci FCC, ISOM, VOM, Coker, and Reformer models. User can view these 3 reactor models on the Reactors tab on the PFD Palette on ROMeo OPS 6.0. These three reactors will require separate licenses. User can create/solve these reactor models on any of the 5 products of the ROMeo 6.0 if the user has the respective reactor licenses for each reactor separately.

If you choose No at this point, you must reboot your machine some time before you can use ROMeo software. The Solver cannot run until the machine has been rebooted after installation. This part completes the installation of the 64 bit solver in a machine with 64-bit operating system. To set up the
ROMeo server machine (ROMeo Host Machine) to use the distributable solver (64 bit) in the other machine (Distributed Solver machine) , the user has to follow steps explained below.
On ROMeo Host Machine

Start ROMeo, go to Options menu, and select INI Settings. Then configure the Solver Tab in the dialog box as shown in the below figure: 1. Check Use Distributed Solver button. 2. Set Solver Machine Name to Machine2 name. 3. Set Solver Exe Directory to Solver Bin directory on Distributed Solver machine.
Figure 48 INI Settings
73
On Distributed Solver machine

Stop the two TAO services in this machine by going through Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools->Services Stop the following 2 services: Tao Implementation Repository Activator 14a Tao Implementation Repository 14a Change the Properties of the above two services to Disabled. Find the Environment variable ImplRepoServiceIOR and change its value as given below. My Computer->Properties->Advanced->System Environment ImplRepoServiceIOR Change its value from corbaloc::localhost:8888/ImR to corbaloc::<ROMeo Host Machine>:8888/ImR Execute SLV60\Bin\RegisterActivatorServer.cmd
Note: This will open up a DOS program. This program should always remain running on the Distributed Solver machine. If ROMeo host machine is rebooted or if the TAO services on ROMeo host machine are restarted, then this DOS program should be restarted again. SETUP is now complete. You are now ready to run ROMeo on ROMeo host machine with the distributed solver running on the other machine. The distributed solver generates the solver trace file in SLV60\ModelApps\<DBName> directory in Distributed solver machine.

Deploying both Solvers (32 bit and 64 bit) on the same 64-bit Machine and Swapping them
Solvers (32 bit and 64 bit) can be deployed both in the same 64-bit machine by following the procedure below : 1. Double-click on the Setup.exe to install ROMeo and select Custom Install as type of Installation Figure 49
2. Custom install with Solver 32-bit selected first, restart the machine. 3. Then from Change option in Add/Remove Programs, Customs install 64-bit solver as well by enabling Solver 64-bit as shown in the figure below (Figure 50). This ensures that both 32-bit and 64-bit solvers are installed.
75
Figure 50
4. Restart the machine 5. In Add/Remove Programs, you can see that Solver 64 as an additional program installed. 6. You can see following directory structure in the ROMeo Installation directory where SLV60 is Solver 32-bit Directory and SLV60x64 is Solver 64-bit directory Figure 51
7. Now to run respective solver (whether 32 bit or 64 bit), you need to swap BaseDir from registry editor. 8. Once both the Solvers (32 bit and 64 bit) are deployed, go to Registry Editor>HKEY_LocalMachine->Softwares->wow6432Node -> SLV -> 6.0 -> Server and change the value of BaseDir so that ROMeo picks up correct solver as shown in the figure below (Figure 52). This way you can work with either 32-bit solver or 64-bit solver.
76

Installing INSQL SDK on top of ROMeo 6.0 Installation

From ROMeo 6.0 onwards, we have another component called as InSQL SDK which comes with the ROMeo Installer Kit, but does not get installed by default. Steps to Install InSQL SDK on top of ROMeo 6.0 Install Kit which is already installed in a machine. Go to ROMeo install file and change installation. Figure 53
Select INSQL SDK from custom set up and click to install entire feature. Install ROMeo software with these changes. Figure 54
78
It takes default path C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA. Figure 55
After InSQL SDK is installed, you can find the ArchestrA files in C: \Simsci\ Archestra\toolkits folder also. Figure 56
79
Now uninstall ROMeo. The uninstallation goes fine but still you will find ArchestrA files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA. So after you install ArchestrA, it does not uninstall even if you uninstall ROMeo.
80
Installing INSQL SDK along with ROMeo 6.0 Installation

InSQL SDK can also be installed along with ROMeo 6.0 Install Kit in a clean machine. The steps are: Select Custom Install while installing ROMeo 6.0 Install and click Next. Figure 57
Figure 58
Select INSQL SDK from Custom Setup and right-click on it. Select the option Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive to install entire feature and install ROMeo software.
81
Figure 59
Check ArchestrA that takes default path C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA.
So it has been observed that ArchestrA takes C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ArchestrA as default path irrespective of which drive ROMeo software gets installed.
82
Running the ROMeo or ROMeo Real-Time System Application

You can launch ROMeo or ROMeo RTS as you would any other Windows program from the Windows Start menu. These programs are available from the ROMeo 6.0 folder under the /Programs/ submenu of the Start menu. The ROMeo Server application and the FLEXlm Security application must be installed before you can run ROMeo software. You must create a database in ROMeo before you can run the RTS application. The ROMeo online help system and the program documentation give instructions on using ROMeo and ROMeo RTS. If you have a question that these two sources cannot answer, contact your local SimSciEsscor Technical Support representative.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses some of the problems you may encounter when you install ROMeo software.
Installation Problems
If you have problems with the initial installation of ROMeo software, review the first section below. If you still cannot correct the problem, contact your local SimSci-Esscor Technical Support Center, listed at the beginning of this document. Table 1 Installation Problems and Solutions
Problem Fix Installing ROMeo software fails at ObjectStore, TAO, CFI or TDM installation See that installer has ROMeo system administration rights privileges. It is recommended that the user disable any firewalls and virus scan programs, use proper DEP settings, and retry installation. Corrupt files: One or more of the files appears to be corrupted (based on an unusual file size or runtime message) 1. Run CHKDSK to verify the drive. 2. Remove the current installation. 3. Reinstall ROMeo from scratch. Problem Fix 1 Fix 2 Invalid path or access failures: Messages that files could not be copied and that the installation failed. When installing to a network, make sure you have read/write access privileges. See that there is enough disk space in the specified directory.
Problem Fix
Communications Problems
Most problems that involve communication between the Client and the Server can be traced to incorrect settings on the TCP/IP network protocol. If you have followed the installation instructions and still have trouble with Client/Server communication, asks your IT administrator to review the TCP/IP network settings.

Simulation Mode Tutorial

This exercise simulates the operations of the Chiller plant shown in Figure 60. This plant removes the valuable heavy components, or natural gas liquids, from a natural gas. The remaining gas goes to a pipeline. You will build and solve the model in several pieces, starting with the units shown in Figure 61. This practice allows you to focus your troubleshooting efforts on a few units at a time. Figure 60 Chiller Plant PFD
Gather Data
Online projects typically start out with the gathering of information such as PFDs, P&IDs, lab data, and instrumentation. For this exercise, this information is shown in Figure 60, Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4. All of the data in these tables is realistic, and typical of an online process. Table 2 shows the Scan Data for all the streams in the Chiller plant. Table 2 Scan Data on June 1

Create a New Simulation

Open the File menu and select the New... option. After the PFD window opens, check Diagnostics in the View menu. Then select Tile Horizontally in the Window menu. You should now see both the PFD and the Diagnostics windows. The diagnostics window displays the warning and error messages that help you identify input mistakes. Figure 61: Process Schematic for First Part of Chiller Plant
Table 5 shows the data for each item of equipment in Figure 61.

Unit HX1 F1 C1 HX2 Description 1-sided HX Scrubber (Flash) Compressor Air Cooler = 2 psi P Adiabatic Flash. P=0 Isentropic Efficiency = 72% Area: 400 ft2 Hotside (Tube): Process P = 5 psi F2 Knockout drum (Flash) Adiabatic Flash P=0 Data
Modify the Input Units of Measure

Click the UOM button on the toolbar. This exercise uses modified English Units. Create a UOM set initialized from the English set and name it ENG-1. Double-click on ENG-1 and override the following units: Change Pressure to psig. Change Volume Rate to MM ft3/day. Change Power to Millions of BTU/hr. Change Currency to $. Change Composition to Percent.
Select ENG-1 as the Current Set name and click the OK button.
Define the Components

Click the Components and Thermodynamics button. Enter the required library components shown in Table 2 by selecting them from the Most Commonly Used Component Family list or by typing them in the Add Library Component box using their proper aliases. Dont forget to add Air. Press the <Enter> key or click the Add button to commit the Components. We will model the C6 and Heavier material using a petrocomponent. Go to the Petro tab and create the C6PLUS petrocomponent, as shown in Figure 62. Then enter 210F for the NBP and 73 for the API gravity.

Figure 62 Create Petro Component
To define the component slates, select the Slate tab. Define a PROCESS slate with the components in Figure 62 and an AIR slate with only air. Drag the appropriate components into the Components in Slate box.
Select the Thermodynamic Method

Select the Method tab, and add a new Method Slate called PR. In the tree control, right-click on Thermodynamic Data and select PR from the list of available thermodynamic methods. Expand the tree and see that you can override individual properties. For example, the tree allows you to select the Ideal method for phase equilibrium instead of Peng-Robinson. Select the Default tab. Set the default Component Slate to PROCESS and the default Method Slate to PR. Any unit that you add to the flowsheet later uses these slates unless you explicitly change these settings. Click the OK button to return to the main window. Save the model, giving it the name CHILL1.
Build the Model

Left-click on the appropriate unit icons on the palette, then left click again to drop the icons in their locations on the PFD. Tip: To add more than one instance of the same unit, such the two Sources here, hold the shift key down while dropping the unit on the PFD. Every left-click drops another instance. HX1 is one-sided (tube) with the hot fluid on the tube side. HX2 is two-sided with the hot fluid on the tube side.
Click on the red-bordered Process Stream button on the PFD palette. The pointer now has an S attached to it, and each unit has highlighted its available exit ports: red for required ports, green for optional ports.
89
Click on a units exit port to start the stream connection. Then click again on the downstream units feed port to complete the connection. Tip: Streams labels are automatically numbered. By creating streams in the proper order, you can avoid having to rename them later.
After you finish building the flowsheet, all unit labels have red borders, which indicate that you must still add data. Note that the border of the Process Stream button is now black, which indicates that you have entered all necessary data for this function. To exit the stream connection mode, click the right mouse button, or click on the Process Stream button so that it turns gray, indicating that the mode is no longer active. The complete PFD should look like Figure 61. Save the model.
Define the Inlet Gas Source

Double-click on the source S01. Select the Thermo/Phases Tab and verify that the component slate is Process and that the property slate is PR. Do not select a value for the phase presence; the model does this for you. Tip: Units must declare which phases are present in their products. You can do this manually, on the Thermo/Phases Tab. Determining phases is a major source of nuisance and user error, so most people prefer to let the stream recommend its phase presence. If you leave all phases at Must Not be Present, the stream determines its phase presence from the composition, T, and P when you call the GENERATE ESTIMATES() method.
Enter the values for the inlet gas source from the measurements and lab data. Change the flow rate UOM by right-clicking on the lb-mol/hr cell at the top of the grid. Change the basis to vapor volume and the units to MM ft3/day. Return to the grid and enter 40 in the S1 cell. Red check marks appear on Tabs that have incomplete data. ROMeo software updates the check mark after you exit the Tab. Click the OK + Generate Estimates button to return to the main window. Right-click on source S01 and rename it to InletGas.
Define the Air Source

Rename source S02 to Air and enter the measured temperature. Remember to select the AIR component slate under the Thermo/Phases Tab.
90
Enter Operating Conditions for Each Unit

Double-click on each unit and enter the required operating data shown in Table 2. Specify the unit to match its product stream measurements. When you exit each tab, click the OK + Generate Estimates button, to fill in the enthalpy, phase fraction, and any other uninitialized values. There are some additional steps to perform for the Heat Exchanger HX1 (Reboiler hot side): By modeling only one side of the reboiler, you can defer the more complex column calculations until later. Use a hot side Product Temperature specification, since this is a value you know from its measurement. In the Hot Side tab, enable the Check Phases option.
There are some additional steps to perform for the Heat Exchanger HX2 (Air Cooler): Use a hot side Product Temperature specification. Check the Always Calculate LMTD box.
For the Compressor, make sure that the controls on the Data tab look like those in Figure 63. Figure 63: Compressor Specification Tab
At this point there should be no red on the flowsheet. If any of the unit or stream labels have red borders, click on them and check the diagnostic messages. Correct the problems until there is no red on the flowsheet. Save the model before you continue.
Run the Simulation and View the Results

Run the simulation and check the Diagnostics window for the status. After the simulation converges, you must open the Run menu and select the Check Solution Validity item. The Diagnostics window displays certain problems, such as negative flows.
The Check Solution Validity task cannot find every problem, so you should interpret a Solution is valid response to mean that the solution does not fail any of the built-in tests. If you want the Validate Solution process to check your phase specifications (such as to check if a vapor really is present for a stream designated Vapor Must be Present), you must explicitly request Check Phases at Solution in the Thermo/Phases dialogs. It is recommended that you check this box for every stream during the model building phase. Double-click on a Diagnostic message to center the appropriate unit or stream in the PFD window. To view the results for the entire model, open the Output menu and select the HTML Standard Reports / Simulation Report item. This opens a browser window with hyperlinks to the individual units contained in the flowsheet. You can leave this browser view open and click the Refresh button after each run, or you can click the Live button and the report automatically refreshes when new values are calculated. There are several ways to view the results of an individual unit or stream. Select the unit or stream and click the View Results button to generate an HTML report. Double click on the unit or stream and view the Data Summary tabs. Hold the cursor over a stream to view its Temp, Pres, and Flow. Shift-Double-click on an object to launch its Model window. This shows detailed information in a grid format.
After you obtain a successful valid solution, open the Run menu and select the Update Initial Values item. This places the Final Values from the simulation into the Initial Values. Starting from a previous solution increases the convergence speed for the next run. Save the model.
