General Description

The AQSol solver is called 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 AQSol Flash Tank is used to 'flash' a feed stream to produce a liquid and vapour product at a set pressure or temperature.
There are two operational modes for the AQSol Flash Tank: (1) as a stand-alone unit; or (2) as part of a Flash Train. The user sets the operational mode of the Flash Tank. However, if the user sets the mode as Flash Train and the Flash Tank is NOT connected to any Flash Train aware destination unit, the model will go to an error state.
The AQSol Flash Tank model may be used as a Crystallizer. Vapour is flashed off and the remaining solution is then supersaturated with the required species. This species then precipitates out as the crystal product.

Notes

The user MUST have added and configured a AQSol Model Configuration unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
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

The diagram shows a drawing of the AQSol Flash Tank unit, with Feed, Product and Vapour 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.

Inputs and Outputs

Label	Required / Optional	Input / Output	Number of Connections		Description
Label	Required / Optional	Input / Output	Min	Max	Description
Feed	1 Required	Input	1	10	The feed to the Flash Tank.
Product	Required	Output	1	1	Product stream.
Vent	Required	Output	1	1	Vent Stream (Vapour Only).

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

Behaviour when Model is OFF

If the user disables the unit, by un-ticking the On tick box, then the following actions occur:

All material in streams connected to the 'Feed' will flow straight out of the 'Product' outlet, with no change in phase;
No sub-models will be called.

So basically, the unit will be 'bypassed' without the user having to change any connections.

Model Theory

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

User connects the AQSol Flash Tank with SysCAD input streams,
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.
The AQSol Flash Tank calls the AQSol algorithms to determine the status of the mixture using the converted AQSol "input" data.
The AQSol results are displayed in the "output" tab using AQSol species.
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 database (.dat) 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 Flash Tank feed enthalpy in the AQSol context is determined from the equilibrium composition of the Flash Tank feed as calculated by AQSol at the SysCAD stream temperature and pressure. If one or more of the SysCAD streams feeding the AQSol Flash Tank 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 Flash Tank. Ensure that both the AQSol and SysCAD energy balances are reasonable. See TCE Enthalpy Reporting for more details.
This model uses the VLE model of SysCAD, not AQSol, for calculating the vapour. The liquid fraction of the stream is fed to AQSol to determine the ionic solution properties, which are then used in an iterative manner to calculate the BPE, and ultimately, the temperature, pressure, amount of vapour generated, etc. Thus AQSol is used for calculating the liquid and solid fractions of the stream, and SysCAD VLE is used to calculate the vapour.
The resulting mixture is then separated into vapour and product streams.

WorkFlow

The suggested workflow for configuring the model is:

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 Flash Tank model.
On the AQSolFlashTank tab page, configure the model - methods, pressures, etc.
On the TCE tab page, select the correct ChemModel (to match step 1) (Note: In older builds, this selection was made on the AQSolFlashTank tab page).
Select other TCE options (Bypass, CFE, etc.)
Perform an equilibrium calculation by pressing Solve in SysCAD.
The Results are displayed in the AQSolResults and Output tabs.
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.)

FwdMap	Display	This displays mass and AQSol enthalpy of the Input stream to AQSol after forward mapping. The enthalpy of the FwdMap stream and the FwdMap.ScdFeed stream are likely to be different. Some reasons for differences include differences in enthalpy values for pure species and the incorporation of additional solution thermodynamics terms.
FwdMap.Diff	Display	This displays the difference in mass and enthalpy between the feed stream and Input stream. There should never be differences in mass. Small enthalpy differences are expected but large differences may indicate issues with SysCAD database enthalpy data.
FwdMap.RelDiff	Display	This displays the relative difference in mass and enthalpy between the feed stream and Input stream. There should never be differences in mass. Small enthalpy differences are expected but large differences may indicate issues with SysCAD database enthalpy data.
Reverse Mapping Summary
RevMap.TCEProd	Display	This displays mass and AQSol enthalpy of the Output stream from AQSol. The enthalpy of the RevMap.TCEProd stream and the RevMap stream are likely to be different. Some reasons for differences include differences in enthalpy values for pure species and the incorporation of additional solution thermodynamics terms.
RevMap	Display	This displays mass and SysCAD enthalpy of the Prod stream after reverse mapping.
RevMap.Diff	Display	This displays the difference in mass and enthalpy between the Output stream and Prod stream. There should never be differences in mass. Small enthalpy differences are expected but large differences may indicate issues with SysCAD database enthalpy data.
RevMap.RelDiff	Display	This displays the relative difference in mass and enthalpy between the Output stream and Prod stream. There should never be differences in mass. Small enthalpy differences are expected but large differences may indicate issues with SysCAD database enthalpy data.
