Abstract/Summary
The authors present the results of the collaboration between Espindesa and Inprocess in order to develop a software tool that acts as a digital twin of a real nitric acid plant. The tool contains a dynamic simulation model built in HYSYS of one of the Espindesa licensed processes, with the control system and most of the EDS system embedded into the process model. An HMI for control room operator training was also developed and incorporated into the digital twin.
