Latest SysCAD Version: 19 March 2024 - SysCAD 9.3 Build 139.35102

Related Links: AQSol SysCAD Project Workflow


Formally released as part of Build 139.30140 (first available as BETA version in Build 138). The AQSol SysCAD TCE option and models documentation is for the latest version of SysCAD.

General Description

The AQSol Reactor model allows the user to 'call' the AQSol solver to determine the state of a SysCAD stream. The composition, temperature and pressure of the 'Feed' stream are based on the feed to the unit. The unit will then determine the equilibrium conditions of the resulting stream.

The results can be applied to the product stream or just performed as a side calculation (similar to use of the AQSol Side Calc Model).

Notes

  1. The user MUST have added and configured a AQSol Model Configuration unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
  2. The user MUST have installed a version of AQSol on their computer to make use of the AQSol functionality in SysCAD. Please see www.phasediagram.dk for more information.

Diagram

Reactor Diagram.png

The diagram shows a drawing of the AQSol Reactor unit, with Feed, Product and Vent streams. When the user inserts the AQSol Reactor unit into a flowsheet, a different graphics symbol can be selected from a pull down menu. The streams may be connected to any area of the drawing without affecting the actual connection point as SysCAD ignores the physical position of the connection. For reactors with multiple incoming streams, the combined stream pressure will be set to the lowest pressure of the incoming streams that contain a flow.

Inputs and Outputs

Product Output 1 1 Product Stream
Vent Output 0 1 Optional Vent Stream

The AQSol Reactor can be incorporated into a SysCAD flowsheet, it can be connected with SysCAD inlet and outlet streams.

Model Theory

The AQSol Reactor Model uses the AQSol algorithms and data to determine the status of the aqueous solution.

Mapping of the SysCAD to AQSol streams is done via Species Mapping.

The AQSol Reactor can be incorporated into a SysCAD flowsheet, it can be connected with SysCAD inlet and outlet streams.

  1. User connects the AQSol Reactor with SysCAD input streams,
  2. The SysCAD feed stream(s) using SysCAD species is converted into AQSol "Input" using AQSol Species. The species mapping is defined in the corresponding AQSol Model Configuration unit model.
  3. The AQSol Reactor calls the AQSol algorithms to determine the status of the mixture using the converted AQSol "input" data.
  4. The AQSol results are displayed in the "output" tab using AQSol species.
    • If the AQSol Reactor is in Side Calc mode, the results are NOT converted into SysCAD species. (SysCAD stream outlet = sum of SysCAD inlet streams, no change will occur)
    • If the AQSol Reactor is in Reactor mode, then the results are converted back into SysCAD species. Please see Species Mapping for more information.

NOTES:

  • The Input, Output and Diff tab pages are displayed using AQSol species, as defined in the AQSol DLL specified in the corresponding AQSol Model Configuration unit model.
  • The species used in the SysCAD project are shown on the optional Sp pages, shown as part of the QFeed, QBypass, QUnmapped, QRxnProdBypass and QProd pages.
  • The calculations performed are similar to using AQSol directly, except the contents of the SysCAD stream are mapped to equivalent AQSol species using the settings defined in the AQSol Model Configuration unit model. Please see www.phasediagram.dk for more information.
  • Important note on energy balance: The Reactor feed enthalpy in the AQSol context is determined from the equilibrium composition of the Reactor feed as calculated by AQSol at the SysCAD stream temperature and pressure. If one or more of the SysCAD streams feeding the AQSol Reactor are far from equilibrium and will generate significant heat upon reaction (e.g. a stream containing unreacted HCl and NaOH, for example), the AQSol calculated heat of reaction will be incorrect. In this case, the unreacted species should be reacted prior to feeding them to the AQSol Reactor. Ensure that both the AQSol and SysCAD energy balances are reasonable. See TCE Enthalpy Reporting for more details.

WorkFlow

The suggested workflow for configuring the model is:

  1. Make sure the project contains at least one of the AQSol Model Configuration model, and the model is loaded with the correct AQSol database you would like to use for the AQSol Reactor.
  2. On the AQSolReactor tab page, set the operating pressure and Vent.SolidsMethod (and any other sub-models).
  3. On the TCE tab page, select the correct ChemModel (to match step 1) (Note: In older builds, this selection was made on the AQSolReactor tab page).
  4. Select the Model type and other options (Bypass, VLE, CFE).
  5. Choose the Target Calculation OpMode and fill in the required information based on the operation mode selection.
  6. Perform an equilibrium calculation by pressing Solve in SysCAD.
  7. The Results are displayed in the AQSolResults and Output tabs.
  8. Check and fix any species mapping issues. (AQSol resulting species may change if the operating conditions change, so it is likely a change of temperature or feed composition will result in different AQSol species.)

LowestFeed Outlet streams will take the lowest pressure of the feeds.
HighestFeed Outlet streams will take the highest pressure of the feeds.
Atmospheric Outlet streams will be at Atmospheric Pressure. The atmospheric pressure is calculated by SysCAD based on the user defined elevation (default elevation is at sea level = 101.325 kPa). The elevation can be changed on the Environment tab page of the Plant Model.
RequiredP Outlet streams will be at the user specified pressure.
IgnoreLowMassFlow / IgnoreLowQm Tick Box This option is only visible if the AutoDetect, LowestFeed or HighestFeed methods are chosen. When calculating the outlet pressure and temperature of the tank, SysCAD will ignore the low flow feed streams should this option be selected. The low flow limit is set in the field below.
LowMassFlowFrac / LowQmFrac Input This field is only visible if the IgnoreLowQm option is selected. This is the amount any stream contributes to the total flow. For example, if the total feed to the tank is 10 kg/s, and this field is set to 1%. Then any feed streams with less than 0.1 kg/s will be ignored in the pressure calculations.
