Newbie’s question: What is the difference between H2O in LIQUID and H2O in DECANT H2O?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: what is the difference between H2O in LIQUID and H2O in DECANT H2O? If the logistics contain NH4Cl, can it dissolve in H2O in LIQUID?
First question: The two types of water are essentially the same! In the simulation, the water can be separated into layers through decanting, that is, by removing the water in this way
The second issue depends on which thermodynamic equation you use.
Firstly, the water produced by Water Decant is pure water, with no consideration given to the dissolution of hydrocarbons in water. And when it comes to NH4Cl, you should use the method available in the Electrolyte electrolyte model; there is no such option as Water Decant at all
The bulk of the stream consists of oil and gas, with very low levels of H2, NH3, and HCl – at the ppm level. Upon cooling, NH3 and HCl form NH4Cl crystals. What thermodynamic approach is suitable for this process? If H2O is added to the logistics system to observe the dissolution of NH4Cl, which thermodynamic method should be chosen?
Try using the OLI Wizard to create your own component package and see if simulation is possible; the equation of state in PRO/II doesn’t work, and among the pre-existing electrolyte methods in the Electrolyte category, I don’t see any that include NH4Cl
