A software package for simulating a silicon hydrochlorination reactor

The modern development of industrial enterprises is impossible without introducing information technologies (IT) into the process of their functioning. The IT introduction allows increasing the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. In a market economy, process management involves a range of dif-ferent risks. These risks can be modeled using software packages. In the article, the subject of research is the technology of developing a software complex for the reactor for the hydrochlorination of ground silicon operating in dynamic mode. In this work, for the first time at the software level, the main features of the operation of the trichlorosilane synthesis reactor are proposed and shown. Described is material and heat balance of reactor, hydrodynamics of "suspended" layer is shown and visualized. Hydrodynamic and thermal calculations of the synthesis reactor were carried out. These calculations are inter-preted into a mathematical graph. A mathematical apparatus for describing the operating parameters of the reactor is shown and for the first time a computer mathematical model of the process of synthesis of trichlorosilane of active production has been developed. The technological processes of the study object were visualized. System of monitoring, control and regulation of reactor operating parameters to ensure safety of production is proposed. Monitoring and control devices are connected to mathematical model. With the help of the resulting software model, various experiments can be carried out in "real time". The study has established the importance of maintaining the operating conditions of such reactors, related to the possibility of local overheating zones that may affect the occurrence of emergencies. The work is of interest to specialists serving the production of trichlorosilane and is aimed at reducing the technological risks arising during the operation of the reactor.
