It seems from online sources that it cannot be used directly and requires a separate purchase. I found the following instructions online: The Aspen OLI interface utilizes advanced technologies from the OLI system, enabling Aspen Plus to analyze complex electrolyte systems and expanding the capabilities of the OLI database as well as its thermodynamic properties. I would like to ask whether this means that the electrolyte models in Aspen’s database include those from the OLI software along with their thermodynamic properties. The Aspen Plus interface options allow for an expansion of Aspen Plus’ functionality, enhancing the management of the process lifecycle. Aspen Split option: It is a tool provided by AspenTech that can be used for the conceptual design of distillation schemes for separating chemical mixtures with non-ideal gas-liquid equilibrium behavior. If the user has Split authorization, it can be used to display the feasible separation limits for a single tower, and to develop advanced solutions for separating such mixtures. The Split conceptual design tool can be applied in the Aspen Plus flowchart environment, and the design results can be used directly to initialize accurate column simulations. Aspen OLI interface: Leveraging advanced OLI system technology, it enables Aspen Plus to analyze complex electrolyte systems; it expands the OLI database and thermodynamic properties, including over 3,000 types of electrolytes. Aspen OnLine option: Allows Aspen Plus models and plant data to be connected and driven. It enables users to apply the engineering knowledge obtained from process models to the actual operational environment in the factory. Aspen PEP Process Library option: Provides pre-built models for specific chemical industries or polymer products. These models are all based on the process economic evaluation details and procedures of SRIC. Aspen Plus HTRI interface: Provides an interface between Aspen Plus and HTRI.

Reply to 2# zzuwangshilei: I’d like to ask, what does it mean to be difficult to install? Does installing Aspen automatically install the electrolyte model as well? The version I have installed now is 11.1, which includes electrolyte models. In terms of accuracy and the number of electrolyte components included, how much are these electrolyte models inferior to OLI?

As for accuracy and the amount of electrolyte components contained, it’s hard to say which of these electrolyte models are more accurate than OLI’s; generally, the data from newer versions is more reliable.
