Heat Heat N Heat 13 Bottoms Introduction to MSE THINK SIMULATION Why develop a new thermodynamic model? ■ The Bromley-Zemaitis model (a/k/a Aqueous Model-AE) had limitations ◊ Water was required as a solvent ◊ Mole fraction of all solutes was limited to approximately 0.35 ◊ Limited in temperature (Approximately 300 oC) ◊ LLE predictions exclude critical solution points (limited to strongly dissimilar phases) ■ A Mixed Solvent Electrolyte model (MSE) has advantages ◊ Water is not required ◊ Mole fraction of solute can approach and be equal to 1.0 ◊ Temperature can be up to 0.9 Tc of solution ◊ Full range of LLE calculations including electrolytes in both phases 14 THINK SIMULATION Introduction to MSE Advantages and disadvantages between AE and MSE AE Model ■ Advantages: ◊ Larger existing databank ◊ The only model available for rates of corrosion ■ Disadvantages: ◊ Limitations with respect to composition (30 m with respect to electrolytes, x=0.3 with respect to nonelectrolytes ◊ LLE predictions exclude critical solution points (limited to strongly dissimilar phases) MSE model ■ Model advantages: ◊ No composition limitations ◊ Reliable predictions for multicomponent concentrated solutions ◊ Full range of LLE calculations including electrolytes in both phases ■ Methodological advantages ◊ Multi-property regressions ◊ Consistent use of thermochemical properties (no shortcuts like KFITs) ◊ Rigorous quality assurance ■ Disadvantages: ◊ A smaller in-place databank but it is continuously extended 15 Introduction to MSE THINK SIMULATION Overview of species coverage

For systems within the AQ model limits, yes ■ Binary systems give reasonable results when water remains the dominant solvent When the 2nd solvent, or different solvent predominates ■ All major components must be studied with respect to all solvents ◊ e.g., for MEG systems, MEG – Ca and MEG – Na must be regressed, along with 63 Overview of Aspen PLUS OLI (with MSE) THINK SIMULATION Using the Aspen PLUS OLI Chemistry Generator 64 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 65 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 66 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 67 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 68 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 69 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 70 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 71 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 72 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 73 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 74 THINK SIMULATION 75 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 76 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 77 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 78 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 79 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 80 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 81 Aspen OLI Chemistry Generator THINK SIMULATION 82 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 83 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 84 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 85 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 86 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 87 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 88 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 89 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 90 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 91 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 92 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 93 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 94 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 95 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 96 Aspen OLI Chemistry Wizard THINK SIMULATION 97 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 98 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 99 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 100 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 101 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 102 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 103 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 104 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 105 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 106 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 107 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 108 Aspen Plus 2006 THINK SIMULATION 109 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 110 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 111 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 112 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 113 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 114 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 115 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 116 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 117 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 118 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 119 Aspen Plus OLI with EFRACH THINK SIMULATION 120 Aspen OLI THINK SIMULATION More examples?
