  • Method for simulating a process plant at laboratory scale
    Patent number: 7476020
    Abstract: A method, a laboratory device and the use of both are provided for simulating the dynamic temperature behavior of at least one part of a process plant, particularly an industrial reactor. The method provides a temperature profile and/or temperature setpoints at given time intervals for controlling the laboratory device. The temperature profile and/or temperature setpoints are derived from a mathematical model that describes the dynamic temperature behavior of at least one part of the process plant. The temperature profile and/or the temperature setpoints are used by a program for controlling the laboratory device.
