PrefaceAspen Technologys Icarus Office develops and provides knowledge-basedprocess evaluation technology, software, and services.

Icarus systems are based on a core design, estimating, scheduling, and expertsystems technology. They automatically develop preliminary design-basedeconomic results - early from minimal scope, and refined designs andeconomics later in the project. Icarus systems are strategically located andlinked into the project knowledge stream of concurrent design 0 after processsimulation and before detailed design, CAD/CAE, detailed scheduling andproject control. This unique technology provides:

Key answers quickly

Dramatic reductions in evaluation time and resources

The best, most economical process and plant design for funding/bidding decisions and project evaluation.

Aspen economic evaluation systems (including Aspen Capital Cost Estimator,

Aspen Process Economic Analyzer, and Aspen In-Plant Cost Estimator) are indaily use. These systems have become industry-standard tools and are usedby discerning project evaluators in owner companies and engineering designand construction firms in more than 1,000 locations in over 30 countries.

The Technology BehindIcarus SystemsIcarus systems are based on mathematical modeling technology which hasbeen developed, refined and used since Icarus Corporation was founded in

1969. Aspen Technology purchased Icarus Corporation in 2000.Stored in Icarus systems are design and cost models for:

Over 250 kinds of liquid, gas and solids handling andprocessing equipment

More than 60 kinds of plant bulk items

Approximately 70 kinds of site preparation work

Nearly a dozen types of buildings.

Installation bulk models, used to develop installation quantities and fieldmanpower and costs to install equipment and plant bulks, round out thebank of design and cost models. To support these design and cost models,

Icarus systems contain design procedures and costs data for hundreds oftypes of materials of construction for general process equipment, vessel shellsand internals, tubing, castings, linings, packings, clad plates, piping, steel andelectrical bulks.

Agitated Tanks (AT)Small to large, pressure/vacuum, jacket, driver, motor-reducer, agitator andsupports.

For MIXER, REACTORand OPEN TOP:

Liquid Volume:To secure desired vessel size, specify the diameter andheight directly. A value must be specified if diameter and height are not bothspecified. Otherwise, calculated from diameter and height. If both vesseldimensions and capacity are specified, the system-calculated capacity mustagree with the specified capacity to within +/- 10%.

Skirt or Leg Height:If the capacity is 1000 GAL. [37 M3] or less, the vesselis designed with 4 FEET [1.25 M] pipe legs. For a capacity greater than 1000GAL. [37 M3], the vessel is designed with a skirt. The skirt height is calculatedas 1.5 x (vessel diameter) with minimum and maximum heights of 4 and 32FEET [1.25 and 9.5 M] respectively. Enter 0.0 if hung in open structure.

Manhole Diameter:If no value is specified, a value is calculated as a functionof vessel diameter and height with a maximum manhole diameter of 48

Description of Agitated Tanks

1 Reynolds Number (RN), dimensionless: RN = (D2N) (FD/FV)

2 Froude Number (FN), dimensionless: FN = g/N2D

3 Power Number (PN), dimensionless: PN = (Pgc/FD) (N3D5)

4 Power Function (PF), dimensionless:For RN > 300 and for unbaffled tanks,

log PF = log PN - (a-log RN) (log FN) /b

For RN < or = 300 for tanks with or without baffles,

FP = PN

5 Relationships between PF, PN, FN, RN for each impeller listed in theImpeller Types table are contained in the AT agitated tank model. Power isderived from PN.
