Latest SysCAD Version: 25 October 2024 - SysCAD 9.3 Build 139.36522

Related Links: OLI SysCAD Project Workflow

Available from Build 139.31866. The above set of OLI unit models uses OLI version 11 or later.

General Description

The OLI Feeder model allows the user to specify a feeder using OLI species. After OLI equilibrium calculation, reverse mapping is completed to form SysCAD stream which becomes the outlet product stream. The user enters the mass or molar makeup of the 'Feed' stream, and the unit will then determine the equilibrium conditions of the resulting stream at the user defined temperature/enthalpy and pressure.

This model can act as a source of material, similar to the standard Feeder-Cross Page Connector model. The user sets the Required Flow from the unit, the Temperature and Pressure AND the species composition, on the DInput page.

If an outlet stream is not connected, then the model acts just like the corresponding OLI Direct Calc model.

Notes

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

Model Theory

The OLI Feeder Model uses the OLI algorithms and data to determine the status of the aqueous solution.

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

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

  1. User connects the OLI Feeder with SysCAD input streams,
  2. The SysCAD feed stream(s) using SysCAD species is converted into OLI "Input" using OLI Species. The species mapping is defined in the corresponding OLI Model Configuration unit model.
  3. The OLI Feeder calls the OLI algorithms to determine the status of the mixture using the converted OLI "input" data.
  4. The OLI results are displayed in the "output" tab using OLI species.
  5. 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 OLI species, as defined in the OLI database (.dbs) specified in the corresponding OLI 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 OLI directly, except the contents of the SysCAD stream are mapped to equivalent OLI species using the settings defined in the OLI Model Configuration unit model.


Workflow

The suggested workflow for configuring the model is:

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

HideZeros Tickbox Only visible if the SelectSp option is enabled. If this option is enabled, the outputted table will be filtered so that only species which have a non-zero value in any of the calculations in the sweep will be shown in the table.
ResultsType (only visible if the SelectSp option is enabled)
Flow The results generated will include the flows of the selected species in the final product stream.
Frac The results generated will include the overall fractions of the selected species in the final product stream.
PhaseFrac The results generated will include the phase fractions of the selected species in the final product stream.
SelectedSpCount Display Only visible if the SelectSp option is available. The number of species selected on the SpForPlot tab.
Select Properties For Output
PropertiesCount / PropsCount Input The number of properties to be included in the reported data set.
PropX List The property to be reported from the list of available properties. Note: This field is only visible if the entry for NumPropsForOutput is greater then 0. If there is one property then X=1. If there are two properties, then X=1 and X=2, etc.
