Released as a BETA version in Build 139.30599.

General Description

The PHREEQC Pond model is used in the Dynamic mode to emulate an Evaporation Pond. The user has the option to divide the pond into two layers, a bed where most of the solids settle and a clarified liquor layer for liquids, or consider the pond as a single layer. In any case, the concentration of the pore liquid in the bed layer and the concentration of the supernatant pond liquid is always equal and in equilibrium with the solids.

The PHREEQC Pond model allows the user to 'call' the PHREEQC solver to determine the state of a pond contents.

Notes

  1. The user MUST have added and configured a PHREEQC Model Configuration unit in the SysCAD project before this unit can function.
  2. Installation of PHREEQC is not required to use the PHREEQC functionality in SysCAD. If the user wishes to install PHREEQC, please see https://www.usgs.gov/software/PHREEQC-version-3 for more information.

Model Theory

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

  1. User connects the PHREEQC Pond 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 Pond 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 database (.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 Pond model.
  2. On the PHREEQCPond 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 PHREEQCPond 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.)
