Abstract (EN): Simulation of the dynamic behaviour of liquid-liquid systems is of prominent importance in many industrial fields. Algorithms for fast and reliable simulation of single stirred vessels and extraction columns have already been published by some of the present authors. In this work, we propose a methodology to develop a parallel version of a previously validated sequential algorithm, for the simulation of a liquid-liquid Kühni column. We also discuss the algorithm implementation in a distributed memory parallel-computing environment, using MPI. Despite the difficulties encountered to preserve efficiency in the case of a heterogeneous cluster, the results demonstrate performance improvements that clearly indicate that the approach followed may be successfully extended to allow real-time plant control applications.
