General Description

The PHREEQC 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.

  • This model is designed to simulate a reverse osmosis membrane process, often used in water treatment, especially for desalination of sea water.
  • The user may specify the yield and efficiency of the process, as well as the outlet pressure requirements.
  • The unit expects the feed to be free of solids. If solids are fed to the unit, the user will receive a warning and any solids will be sent to the Brine stream.
  • If a vent stream is connected, then all gases will exit via the Vent. If gases are present and there is no vent connection then the user will receive a warning and all gases will be sent to the Brine stream.

Notes

  1. The user MUST have added and configured a PHREEQC Model Configuration unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
  2. The user MUST have installed a version of PHREEQC on their computer to make use of the PHREEQC functionality in SysCAD. Please see https://www.usgs.gov/software/phreeqc-version-3 for more information.

Diagram

RO Unit.png

  • The diagram shows default drawing of the Reverse Osmosis unit with connecting streams.
  • The physical location of the streams connecting to the unit is unimportant. The user may connect the streams to any position on the unit.
  • When inserting a Reverse Osmosis unit into a flowsheet, the user may choose a different symbol from the menu.

Inputs and Outputs

Label Required /
Optional
Input /
Output
Number of Connections Description
Min Max
Feed 1 Required Input 1 20 Inlet liquid feed stream to the unit, usually water with dissolved salts.
FeedProdSide Optional Input 1 20 Inlet liquid feed stream to the product side of the membrane. This is useful for modelling numerous technologies including forward osmosis, diffusion dialysis, etc.
Product Required Output 1 1 Outlet product stream of the unit, usually purified water.
Brine Required Output 1 1 Outlet brine or waste stream of the unit.
Vent Optional Output 0 1 Optional gas outlet from the unit.

The PHREEQC Reverse Osmosis model 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 feed material will flow straight out of the Brine outlet;
  • No material will flow out of the Product or Vent outlets;
  • No sub-models will be called.

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

Model Theory

The PHREEQC Reverse Osmosis Model uses the PHREEQC algorithms and data to determine the status of the aqueous solution.

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

The PHREEQC Reverse Osmosis can be incorporated into a SysCAD flowsheet, it can be connected with SysCAD inlet and outlet streams.

  1. User connects the PHREEQC Reverse Osmosis with SysCAD input streams,
  2. The SysCAD feed stream(s) using SysCAD species is converted into PHREEQC "Input" using PHREEQC Species. The species mapping is defined in the corresponding PHREEQC Model Configuration unit model.
  3. The PHREEQC Reverse Osmosis calls the PHREEQC algorithms to determine the status of the mixture using the converted PHREEQC "input" data.
  4. The PHREEQC results are displayed in the "output" tab using PHREEQC 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 PHREEQC species, as defined in the PHREEQC database file (.dat) specified in the corresponding PHREEQC 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 PHREEQC directly, except the contents of the SysCAD stream are mapped to equivalent PHREEQC species using the settings defined in the PHREEQC Model Configuration unit model. Please see https://www.usgs.gov/software/phreeqc-version-3 for more information.

Calculation of Osmotic Pressure

PHREEQC calculates the activity of water, which is then used to calculate the osmotic pressure by the Van't Hoff formula. The Van't Hoff formula is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \Pi=-\frac{RT}{\overline{V}}ln(a_w) }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ \Pi }[/math] is the osmotic pressure, [math]\displaystyle{ \overline{V} }[/math] is the partial molar volume of water (ideal), and [math]\displaystyle{ a_w }[/math] is the activity of water (mole fraction basis).


WorkFlow

The suggested workflow for configuring the model is:

  1. Make sure the project contains at least one of the PHREEQC Model Configuration model, and the model is loaded with the correct PHREEQC database you would like to use for the PHREEQC Reverse Osmosis model.
  2. On the PHREEQCReverseOsmosis tab page, configure the model - methods, pressures, etc.
  3. On the TCE tab page, select the correct ChemModel (to match step 1) (Note: In older builds, this selection was made on the PHREEQCReverseOsmosis tab page).
  4. Select other TCE options (Bypass, CFE, etc.)
  5. Perform an equilibrium calculation by pressing Solve in SysCAD.
  6. The Results are displayed in the PHREEQCResults and Output tabs.
  7. Check and fix any species mapping issues. (PHREEQC resulting species may change if the operating conditions change, so it is likely a change of temperature or feed composition will result in different PHREEQC species.)

IonPerm tab page

This is only visible if the EffMethod is set to Ionic Permeability. Ion permeability is determined based on the total ions in the solution.

Specify permeability of ions through membrane
Based upon total amount of each ion in the solution (complete breakdown)
Ion.Perm Input Ion permeability is specified based upon the total ion in solution. Ion is the name of the ion from the PHREEQC model as loaded.
CO3-2.Perm Example The total carbonate is calculated after all carbonate ions are broken down into their constituent parts. This means that the total carbonate is obtained from the sum of CO3-2 ions in solution and the breakdown of HCO3- (where HCO3- breaks down into H+ and CO3-2). Following this, adjustments are made to the acidity or basicity of the solution on both sides of the membrane to ensure charge neutrality.

CFE tab page

This tab is only visible if the UseCFE option is enabled on the TCE tab page.

  • This option allows a portion of a species to be locked up and not allowed to react.
  • Applying CFE can have a significant effect on the final composition, use of this feature requires detailed knowledge of the process chemistry.
  • This feature is unavailable if using SysCAD VLE with PHREEQC.

Unmapped Mole Copy unmapped stream contents to clipboard, mole basis, for pasting into Excel. If Zeros is set to hide, zero values will not be copied to the clipboard. Unmapped species are those which will not be mapped to the exiting SysCAD stream.
(The following tables display the mass/mole flow, mass/mole fraction of the individual species.)
(Each table (one for each phase) has the following columns (one row for each species). )
MassFlow / Qm Display Visible when StreamView = Mass. The difference in mass flow of the species.
MassFrac / Mf Display Visible when StreamView = Mass. The difference in mass fraction of the species.
PhaseMassFrac / IPh:Mf Display Visible when StreamView = Mass. The difference in mass fraction of the species in the displayed phase.
MoleFlow / QMl Display Visible when StreamView = Mole. The difference in mole flow of the species.
MoleFrac / Mlf Display Visible when StreamView = Mole. The difference in mole fraction of the species.
PhaseMoleFrac / IPh:Mlf Display Visible when StreamView = Mole. The difference in mole fraction of the species in the displayed phase.


ActivityCoeff Display Only shown for liquid/aqueous species. The activity coefficient of the species.
Fugacity Display Only shown for gaseous species. The fugacity of the species.
SatIdx Display Only shown for solid species. The saturation index of the species relative to its equilibrium solubility.
