Template:Edit cfg - OLI Liquid-2 phase

Available from Build 139.34985. Liquid-2 functionality is available for use in the SysCAD-OLI interface when a second liquid phase, typically used for organics, is configured in the OLI dbs file. This functionality allows for the modelling of unit operations where two immiscible liquids are present, such as OLI Solvent Extraction. To use this functionality, the SysCAD configuration file must be manually updated to indicate the individual phase in the SysCAD species database which corresponds with the second liquid phase in the OLI dbs file. If using multiple dbs files, this is repeated for each OLI dbs file that contains a second liquid phase. The steps are as follows:

1. Open the cfg file within the CfgFiles folder using a text editor.
2. Search for "[OLI]" to locate the OLI section of the file.
3. Update the cfg file in a similar manner to that shown in the following example.

Example:

Given an [OLI] section that looks like this in the cfg file: [OLI] NumEngines=3 MinWaterContentForSolve=0.2 DatabaseFolder=C:\SysCAD Projects\OLItest\OLI\ Database0=SolvEx.dbs

the cfg file [OLI] section should be modified to this: [OLI] NumEngines=3 MinWaterContentForSolve=0.2 DatabaseFolder=C:\SysCAD Projects\OLItest\OLI\ Database0=SolvEx.dbs Second_Liquid_Phase_Name0=o

where:

• SolvEx.dbs contains a second liquid phase
• The SysCAD database contains corresponding species for mapping to the second liquid phase using the individual phase "o" for organic, i.e.:
  • C12H26(o)
  • R3NH2SO4(o)
  • etc...
