RO Membrane in OLI Flowsheet: ESP AQSim October 2017 Think simulation!
Quick introduction Water Chemistry Applications Electrolyte Science • - Process simulation - Corrosion simulation • Software tools - OLI training - OLI Simulation Studies- OLI sales
OLI solutions in three areas ElectrolyteChemistryanalysis Processsimulation AqueousCorrosionmodeling • Understand in-depth behavior of the electrolytes in your system • Solve problems involving multiple blocks + recycle, or multi-stage columns • Determine the corrosivity of a chemistry in contact with a metal surface
Focus on process simulation • OLI Flowsheet: ESP • When electrolytes are primary • When OLI thermodynamic methods are sufficient • Designed for electrolytes • OLI Alliance Partner products • Couple OLI thermodynamics with other methods • Lessen the learning curve to using OLI • AspenTech, Honeywell, Andritz, PSE, SimSci • OLI Engine in SysCAD, OLI Engine in CADSIM
RO Membrane simulation • Reverse Osmosis (RO) • The basis of many water treatment schemes • Vendor software • To determine which membrane • Missing rigorous water chemistry model • Specific water chemistry effects must be estimated • Several iterations necessary • Between electrolyte software and vendor software to determine the potential effect of a specific membrane
Value added with OLI’s RO • Membrane library that can be extended • Library for your organization • Screening different membranes made easy! • Approach • “Tune” the membrane to vendor specs in OLI • Substitute “vendor salt (e.g., NaCl) with specific water chemistry • Replaces an earlier RO model in ESP Orig • No membrane library • Difficult to use
OLI’s RO & Membranes: Status • Reverse Osmosis • The first membrane block implemented • Beta testers? • Being sought for 4Q 2017 beta • Feedback from beta • Incorporated 1Q 2018 • Other membranes being considered • Seeking client feedback • NF, UF, FO are candidates
RO Membrane webinar • Part of a series of applications by AQSim • Assumes basic flowsheet knowledge • Also available • Background information about OLI athttp://downloads.aqsim.com/OLI-Introduction • Application templates for Flowsheet: ESP http://www.aqsim.com/esp-applications • Other application webinarshttp://www.aqsim.com/oliflowsheet-esp
