Process-engineering plant module and method for controlling a process-engineering plant module

Abstract

A process-engineering plant module is provided including plant components configured to carry out a process-engineering process, wherein a first chemical substance is changed, a sensor, configured to detect a sensor value of a physical quantity of the first chemical substance in a plant component, a simulation unit configured to simulate a chemical reaction, a temperature change and/or a mass transfer for a second chemical substance in a computer-aided manner as a function of the sensor value, wherein the first chemical substance and the second chemical substance are the same or different, and to output a simulated temperature value and a simulated mole fraction of the second chemical substance, and a control unit, which is configured to control actuators of the plant components. A hybrid commissioning of a process-engineering plant, in which a computer-aided simulation of the process-engineering process is carried out in parallel with a cold-commissioning is also provided.
