DESS, an Executive System for Discrete-Event Simulation, and Application Studies of The Scheduling Operations in the Precipitation Circuit of a Bayer Process Plant for Alumina Extraction

Abstract

<p>An executive system for discrete-event simulation of large, complex systems, such as chemical processes, is generated. Documentation on the system is provided in the form of a user's manual.</p> <p>Two application studies, involving the simulation of the discrete, scheduling operations in the precipitation circuit of a Bayer Process Plant, are made to illustrate the scope and method of the executive system and to yield further information on the precipitation process.</p>
