Non-library Components
Components not found in the component library may be entered as NONLI-
BRARY components (Chapter 1.2). The format for entering user components
is straightorward, however users who do this regularly or need help in
estimating unknown required properties should use SimSci’s DATAPREP pro-
gram. DATAPREP assists the user in determining all necessary component
properties and develops a keyword file segment in program ready form. See
your SimSci representative for information regarding the DATAPREP program.
Petroleum Components
The program handles petroleum components using industry standard charac-
terization techniques. The simulator estimates all required component data
given two out of three of molecular weight, boiling point, or gravity. Refer to
Chapter 1.2 for instructions on how to enter basic PETROLEUM data, Chapter
1.6 for how to change the default characterization procedures, and Chapter 5
for entering stream assay data.
Solid Components
The program handles solids with particle size distributions and user-defined
attributes. See Chapter 1.7 for information on property data requirements for
solid components and associated input format. Chapter 1.7 is also used to de-
fine particle size intervals and GENERAL attributes.
Component Properties
The user may define or override component properties for all components in
the simulation. This includes components in the component library, user-
defined components, petroleum pseudocomponents and solid forming compo-
nents. The properties include constants (such as molecular weight or critical
properties), as well as temperature dependent properties (such as enthalpies
in various phase states). Where appropriate, properties may be given on a
mole or weight basis. Refer to Chapter 1.8 for entering component property
values.
UNIFAC Data
Chapter 1.9 discusses the methods for assigning UNIFAC structural groups
and van der Waals parameters for pure components. As discussed starting in
Chapter 2.5.3, UNIFAC provides a means of estimating liquid activity coeffi-
cients when actual VLE or LLE data are unavailable.
Table 1.2-1
Available Pure Component Banks Given In Default Order
BANK= Description
Note: The PROCESS bank has only VL components and no VLS components.
Therefore, for components which may exist in the S phase in a unit operation
(e.g., melter/freezer), it may be necessary for the user to select the SIMSCI bank
as the first bank to search for pure component data.

CUTPOINTS TBPCUTS(F)=100,800,28/1200,8/1600,4 (default)
or equivalent in SI and Metric units
This statement is optional and is used to define TBP cut points for petroleum
components derived by the program from input stream ASTM/TBP data. The
temperature dimension defaults to problem units.
TBPCUTS Defines the TBP cut points for petroleum components.
t0, t1 Beginning and ending temperatures for the first
group of cut points.
tn The ending temperature for the current group of
cut points. The beginning temperature will be tn-1.
ncuts An integer value representing the number of
cuts in each group. The default is 1. The maxi-
mum value is unlimited.
CUTSET This keyword selects the default set of cutpoints.
SIMSCI The default SIMSCI cutpoint set.
BLEND This keyword designates a blend name. If a CUTPOINTS
statement without the BLEND keyword is given, it becomes
the default cutpoint range. All blends not defined with CUT-
POINTS statements will use this statement instead. This is
exactly equivalent to providing a TBPCUTS statement in ver-
sions of PRO/II prior to v3.3. See Chapter 5 for more
information.

ZNUM This supplies the hydrogen deficiency number
as given by:
CnH2n+ZNUM
CNUM This entry specifies the carbon number given
by n in the formula above.
For the SYNCOMP statement, the NBP entry plus at least two of the other
five entries from the above list are always required. If the user supplies more
than two entries from the list above along with the required NBP entry, PRO/II
will use the following hierarchy in accepting data:
Hierachial Data Supplied
Order
1. TYPE + CNUM
2. TYPE + ZNUM
3. TYPE + DENS
4. TYPE + MW
5. ZNUM + CNUM
6. ZNUM + DENS
7. ZNUM + MW
8. CNUM + DENS
9. CNUM + MW
10. MW + DENS
For example, the user defines a naphthenoaromatic-type component (SYN01)
with a molecular weight of 700, normal boiling point of 950 F and a carbon
number of 22 using the following statement:
SYNCOMP 1,SYN01,700,,950,5,,22
The user has supplied values for NBP, TYPE, CNUM, and MW. Only the NBP,
TYPE, and CNUM data are therefore accepted using the hierachial rules pre-
viously outlined. The MW data may thus be changed to produce a consistent
set of data with no conflicts.
Note: Commas must be retained when supplying data using the SYNCOMP
statement so that the order of the entry entries is preserved.
100-800 35 20
800-1200 50 8
CUTPOINTSTBPCUTS=100,800,20/1200,8
Note that portions of the assay boiling under 100 F will be included in the first
cut, and those beyond 1200 F will be included in the last cut.

Use quadratic curve fitting, Cavett characterization, the older (1963) API conver-
sion correlations, and adjust the TBP end point calculations to be made at 99%.

General Information
Components that can exist in the solid phase are identified on the PHASE
statement. They may be ‘‘molecular’’ (molecular weights are given), or ‘‘non-
molecular’’ (molecular weights are not given). Molecular solid components may
exist in any phase, but must be given sufficient component properties to sup-
port the thermodynamic generators used to predict multiphase behavior. Non-
molecular solids may exist only in the solid phase.
Solid attributes are defined in the Component Data Category. For pure compo-
nent data the PROCESS bank is searched first by default (see Table 1.2-1).
However, the PROCESS bank does not have data for VLS components. For
these cases the user should select the SIMSCI bank to search first for pure
component data.
This program supports two classes of solid attributes:
1) Particle size distribution (PSD). The user defines the size intervals for
each grouping of particles. For instance, the first interval could be all parti-
cles between 0.0 and 0.02 mm, the second between 0.02 and 0.10 mm,
etc. In the Stream Data Category, the actual fraction of each solid compo-
nent will be distributed to the corresponding interval. Solids with PSD at-
tributes may be either molecular or non-molecular.
2) User defined GENERAL attributes. These are not used in any of the stand-
ard PRO/II unit operations or calculational procedures, but may be ac-
cessed via User-added Subroutines or In-Line Procedures. A maximum of
100 GENERAL attributes may be provided to each component.
Keyword Description
Solid Attributes (optional)
ATTR COMP= i, j, {PSD(unit)= s0, s1,...,},
GENERAL= 10, {GNAME=text1, text2,...}
Solid attributes may be assigned to each solid component identified on the
PHASE statement. This program supports particle size distribution and gen-
eral, user-defined attributes.
COMP=i,j The component number or range of components having
the attributes described on this ATTR statement. If ‘‘i’’ and
‘‘j’’ are both given, all components from ‘‘i’’ to ‘‘j’’ have
these attributes. If ‘‘j’’ is not given, only component ‘‘i’’ has
these attributes.

1.7.4: Component Chapter
This example provides a description of all the attribute features. Seven compo-
nents are specified for the flowsheet. Components 1, 2, 3 and 5 are Library,
while components 4, 6 and 7 are non-library. The default phase is specified as
VL. Component 2 and 6 are LS, 4 and 7 are S and 1 and 3 are VLS. Compo-
nents 4 and 6 are described using a PSD. Default values are used for the
GNAME vector. Components 6 and 7 are described using the GENERAL attrib-
ute of length 5 and 7, respectively. The first three elements in the GENERAL
vector are assigned names, with the remainder being assigned default names.
Data Requirements
See Chapter 1.7, Solid Component Properties, for the special pure component
data requirements for solid forming components.
All vapor/liquid forming components require molecular weight, either specific
gravity or API gravity, a vapor pressure curve, and an ideal enthalpy curve.
Table 1.8-1 lists the pure component data required by each method used for
computing thermodynamic and transport properties. The indicated pure
component data may be retrieved from specified data banks, generated using
FILL options, or supplied by the user. Missing data generate errors that
terminate program execution upon completion of input processing.

The STRUCTURE and GROUP statements may be used to provide data for
nonlibrary components for use with the UNIFAC method. In addition, the prede-
fined data for library components may be overridden.
Available group data are given in Table 1.9-1. Groups are denoted with a four
digit integer with an ‘‘iijk’’ format. ‘‘ii’’ represents a major grouping of compo-
nents. ‘‘j’’ denotes a subgroup and ‘‘k’’ identifies individual groups. Major groups
of 70-99 are reserved for user-defined structural groups (corresponding to indi-
vidual group identifiers of 7000-9999).
STRUCTURE i, igroup(n)/...
This statement is used to define the individual structural groups for any compo-
nent(s). If desired, the individual structural groups for any library component
may also be redefined.
i Component number.
igroup(n) The four digit identifier for an individual struc-
tural group contained in the component with ‘‘n’’
being used to define the number of such
groups. Up to 10 individual structural groups
may be defined for any component.
GROUP igroup, Qj, Rj
This statement is used to define new structural groups and override the van
der Waals area and volume values.
igroup A four digit individual group identifier. Existing
groups may be identified from Table 1.9-1. Use
7000-9999 for user defined groups.
Qj van der Waals area parameter for the individual
group.
Qj = Awj/(2.5 x 109)
where Awj = van der Waals area for group j,
(cm2/g-mole).
Rj van der Waals volume parameter for the individ-
ual group.
Rj = Vwj/15.17
where Vwj = van der Waals area for group j,
(cm3/g-mole).

General The program offers many thermodynamic methods and options ranging from
Information the simple to the very complex. Fortunately, the thermodynamic data input re-
quirements for most simulations are simple, requiring only a few input state-
ments. For example, to use the Soave-modification to the Redlich-Kwong
equation of state in a flowsheet requires only two lines of code in the keyword
file:
THERMODYAMIC DATA
METHOD SYSTEM=SRK
The first statement ‘‘THERMODYNAMIC DATA’’ declares the beginning of the
Thermodynamic Data Catagory. The second statement states that the prede-
fined SRK system of thermodyamic generators be employed. The usage of
each thermodynamic generator is fully documented in individual sections. For
example, it is seen that the SRK thermodynamic generator is described in
Section 2.4.1
Thermodynamic methods are bundled into ‘‘sets’’ or systems, each containing
a group of methods for performing all necessary thermodynamic calculations.
Most applications require only one set, but complex flowsheets may be mod-
eled best with several. The program allows an unlimited number of different
sets of thermodynamic methods in each input file.
When an input file includes only one set of methods, all unit operations use
that set for all calculations. When an input file contains two or more of these,
one set serves as the default. If one set is not explicitly specified as the de-
fault, then the program chooses the first thermodynamic set in the input file as
the default. Unit operations that do not explicitly specify a set of methods use
the default.
The SIMSCI databanks contain an extensive collection of pure component data
and binary interaction data for equations of state and liquid activity methods. Addi-
tional special databanks for alcohol and glycol components are available.
Vapor-liquid, rigorous vapor-liquid-liquid, solid-liquid equilibria, and electrolyte
calculations can all be handled by the program using suitable thermodynamic
methods. In addition, the program can compute enthalpies, entropies, flowing
densities, and transport properties.
Special water handling options may be declared locally within each set of meth-
ods. Method-specific options apply only to calculations controlled by the set of
methods that contains the options.

General The program offers a multitude of user choices and data entry options for the
Information Thermodynamic Data Category. However, the input requirements to define
the thermodynamic properties for the vast majority of applications are minimal.
In most cases, selecting a predefined system’’ (see Section 2.1.4) is sufficient.
This takes the form:
...
THERMODYNAMIC DATA
METHOD SYSTEM=system id
...
Where the system id’’ is selected from Table 2.1.4-1.
Some unit operations require transport properties to be selected on the
METHOD statement (see Table 2.8.1-2, Features that Require Transport Prop-
erties). This is not defaulted with the SYSTEM selection, and instead must be
chosen separately. The simplest way to do this is to use the TRANSPORT key-
word which selects a group of consistent property generators for viscosity,
thermal conductivity and surface tension. Once the TRANSPORT keyword is
supplied, the program uses a suiable default. The choices are given in Sec-
tion 2.8.1, Transport. The input takes the form:
...
THERMODYNAMIC DATA
METHOD SYSTEM=system id, TRANSPORT
...
or
...
THERMODYNAMIC DATA
METHOD SYSTEM=system id, TRANSPORT=transport id
...
Note that the DIFFUSIVITY entry is not included with TRANSPORT groupings
and must be entered separately when the Dissolver unit operation is present in
the flowsheet and the Treybal’’ method is used to calculate the mass transfer
coefficient.

General In most cases, each problem includes a single set of methods for calculating
Information all thermodynamic properties. However, a flowsheet may contain widely varying
process conditions that dictate the use of more than one set. To facilitate this, the
program allows an unlimited number of sets of methods in each problem.
All method sets defined in the Thermodynamic Data Category are available for
use in the remainder of the problem. When a single method set is present, all
unit operations use that set. When two or more sets appear, each unit opera-
tion may select any of the defined sets. Some units may use more than one
set. For example, in PRO/II:
• A rigorous heat exchanger may use one method set for the shell side
and a second for the tube side.
• A chemicals column is known to have two liquid phases on only two
trays. To prevent the CHEMDIST algorithm from performing CPU inten-
sive three phase calculations on all trays, a VLLE set is declared on
those two trays, and a VLE set is declared for the remainder.
Individual unit operations select specific sets using the unit operations
METHOD statement. See Chapter 42, Unit Operation Input, in the PRO/II Key-
word Input Manual.
Streams cannot select thermodynamic methods sets. Instead, they adopt the
methods declared by the unit operations modules. The following hierarchy of
defaulting governs the selection of thermodynamic methods applied to stream
calculations.
1. Product streams use the thermodynamic methods of the unit operation
from which they flow.
2. Feed streams that are not products of unit operations use the thermody-
namic methods of the unit operations they feed.
3. In all other cases, streams use the default methods set.

Avoiding Inconsistent Methods
Improper use of multiple thermodynamic methods can cause serious disconti-
nuities that produce erroneous results. For example, both the SRK and Curl-
Pitzer methods are based on deviations from ideal gas values. However, they
predict different enthalpy values for a mixture at any given temperature and
pressure. Thus, an adiabatic flash using the SRK method predicts an incorrect
temperature value for a feed stream with a Curl-Pitzer enthalpy. The stream
enthalpy first should be reset by performing an isothermal, dew point, or bub-
ble point flash calculation (as appropriate) using the new enthalpy method.
Example 2.1.5.1: A hydrocarbon-water mixture is modeled using both VLE and rigorous
VLLE thermodynamics.

MULTIPLE THERMODYNAMIC SETS SIMSCI Component and Thermodynamic Data Input Manual
154 Thermodynamic Data February 1997
The first thermodynamic set, identified as ‘‘2PHASE’’, uses the predefined SRK
set to calculate all thermodynamic properties. The use of the ‘‘VLE’’ argument
(which is the default) implies that, although you can decant a pure water
phase, you cannot perform rigorous liquid-liquid equilibrium calculations.
The second set, identified as ‘‘3PHASE’’, uses the predefined SRKM set. This
method is better suited than SRK for rigorous three phase calculations. The
‘‘VLLE’’ argument implies that all equilibrium calculations using this set will at-
tempt to find two liquid phases.
General Free-water decant is useful when handling mixtures that form water as a
Information nearly pure immiscible phase. Such systems are common in hydrocarbon-
water mixtures in refinery and gas processing plants. For engineering pur-
poses, it may be assumed that the water phase is pure. This reduces the
computational time required to solve these problems with rigorous VLLE mod-
els. See Table 2.1.3-1 for K-value generators that support free-water decant.
When free-water decant is not supported for a particular thermodynamic set,
the WATER statement is disregarded by PRO/II.
When the free-water decant option is turned on, water properties except trans-
port are calculated from the Keenan and Keyes steam tables. By default, all
values are calculated as if the water were at saturated conditions, which saves
a significant amount of CPU time. If superheated steam is present, the PROP-
ERTIES=STEAM option should be selected. This will calculate steam proper-
ties based on the full Keenan and Keyes equation of state for water.
The GPSA method is based on the GPSA Data Book, Figure 20-3. This option
is useful for natural gas mixtures at pressures above 2000 psia.
When the free-water decant option is turned off, water properties are calcu-
lated from the prevailing property generators. Beware that many of the stand-
ard generators (i.e., SRK, PR and GS), are poorly suited for calculating
properties of highly polar, non-hydrocarbons such as water.
Note: A WATER statement may appear only after a METHOD statement.
Therefore water properties apply only to that thermodynamic set.

The user may specify any number of the available databanks by using the
BANK option on each property statement or the AZEOTROPE option for azeot-

for GLYCOL and ALCOHOL package K-values. The program searches the dat-
abanks in the order they appear on the PROPERTY statement, and automat-
ically retrieves any data required for the property method (specified on the
METHOD statement).
Any data supplied in the Component Data Category of input or on data state-
ments in the Thermodynamic Data Category of input are used instead of the
data retrieved from the databanks. The BANK=NONE entry suppresses all dat-
abank operations.

Specifying Key Components
Specifying VLLE equilibrium on the METHOD statement allows the use of the
two optional entries, L1KEY and L2KEY. These two entries allow the user to
specify the dominant component in the L1 and L2 phases. If these entries are
missing, the program estimates the key components during each K-value
evaluation. The most dense stream forms the L2 or W phase. If one of the liq-
uids is an aqueous phase, water will (in the majority of cases) be designated
as the L2KEY component.
When retrieving interaction parameters from the SIMSCI databank, the pro-
gram follows some special rules to minimize these inconsistencies:
SIMSCI Component and Thermodynamic Data Input Manual VAPOR-LIQUID-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM CONSIDERATIONS
February 1997 Thermodynamic Data 161
If no KVALUE(VLE) or KVALUE(LLE) statements are given (i. e., all data are
retrieved from the SIMSCI databank), the program searches the LLE databank
for interaction parameters first, and the VLE databank second for all data.
Thus all phases will be governed by the same set of coefficients as follows:
VLE Interface LLE Interface
LLE databank LLE databank
VLE databank VLE databank
Set interaction parameter Set interaction parameter
to zero to zero
If a KVALUE(VLE) statement is given, but KVALUE(LLE) is not given, the inter-
action parameters for the VLE and LLE interfaces are searched for in the fol-
lowing order:

KVALUE(VLE) statement KVALUE(VLE) statement
LLE databank LLE databank

L1KEY The L1KEY and L2KEY optional entries identify the most
and prevalent components expected in the first liquid phase
L2KEY and in the second liquid phase. These entries are op-
tional, and PRO/II will estimate the key components if
they are not given. In the majority of cases, water (when
present) is designated as the L2KEY component. Desig-
nation of the two key components is suggested for par-
tially miscible systems containing little or no water.
Note: While it is not necessary to designate the key components, it is
strongly recommended. Three-phase calculations are time consuming.
The algorithm uses an immiscible pair of components to initialize the distribu-
tion of components between liquid phases. Specifically declaring the key
components instead of relying on the calculations to find an appropriate pair
significantly reduces the time required to reach a solution.

2.2 Application Guidelines
This section presents simple heuristic rules for selecting suitable methods for
performing thermodynamic property calculations.
Note: Although these rules were developed specifically for the PRO/II program,
the general guidelines still apply to fluid flow applications. However, the examples
at the end of this section were developed specifically for this program.
General Usually, there are several thermodynamic methods suitable for any given appli-
Information cation. The user always should try to determine which methods give the best
representation of the whole flowsheet, while trying to select the simplest, most
appropriate thermodynamic options. The user should bear in mind that the
best thermodynamic method is the one that gives the best agreement with real-
ity. When laboratory or actual operating data are available, it may be neces-
sary to try several options and compare the results to obtain the best possible
model.
The following guidelines are divided into four basic categories of applications.
These are:
• Refinery and Gas Processing
• Natural Gas
• Petrochemical
• Chemical and Environmental
For each application, the various types of unit operations encountered have
recommended thermodynamic methods.
Water For most systems containing water, it is perfectly satisfactory to use the de-
Handling fault water decant option with the simpler hydrocarbon thermodynamic meth-
ods. These are:
SRK, PR, CS, GS, CSE, GSE, IGS, BK10, BWRS.
For each of these methods, the amount of water dissolved in the hydrocarbon
phase is calculated using either the SIMSCI or the KEROSENE correlation.
The SIMSCI method is based on the solubility of water in the pure compo-
nents, while the KEROSENE correlation is based on the solubility of water in
kerosene, given in the API Technical Data Book, Figure 9A1.4. In addition,
SRK and PR can use the EOS method for calculating the water solubility.
The remaining water may be decanted as a pure liquid water stream. The
properties of this pure water stream can be calculated using saturated water
properties or by using the full Keynan and Keyes equation of state for water.
The Keynan and Keyes equation should be used if water is present as super-
heated vapor.

The program uses the vapor pressure of water at the temperature of the sys-
tem to calculate the amount of water in the vapor phase. The user can select
either the (default) built-in steam tables or the GPSA Data Book, Figure 20-3
for the water vapor pressure. The GPSA values should be used for natural
gas systems above 2000 psia (136 atmospheres).
For systems where the solubility of hydrocarbon in water is significant, a more
accurate method should be used. The Kabadi-Danner modification to the SRK
equation of state (SRKKD) is recommended. This method may be selected by
using either SYSTEM(VLLE)=SRKKD or KVALUE(VLLE)=SRKKD on the
METHOD statement. The SRKKD method performs rigorous vapor-liquid-liq-
uid equilibrium calculations to predict the amount of water in the hydrocarbon
phase and the amount of hydrocarbon in the water phase. It uses interaction
parameters for the water and hydrocarbons based on the amount of water pre-
sent in each phase.
Low Pressure Vacuum towers and atmospheric crude towers are representatives of low pres-
Crude sure crude systems. These units generally exhibit nearly ideal behavior, and
Systems simpler methods can be used very successfully. The accuracy of the results
depends much more on the characterization of the crude feed than on the ther-
modynamic method chosen. The BK10 method usually is adequate and
quicker than more complex general hydrocarbon methods such as GS, SRK or
PR. The user may wish to solve the unit with BK10 as a first attempt, and then
use a more complex method if the results are not satisfactory. If the results do
not agree with plant data, the user should try different assay and charac-
terization methods before employing other thermodynamic methods. The API
method should be used for calculating the liquid density.
Thermal cracking is a common source of error when modeling vacuum units.
A laboratory analysis of the vacuum tower overhead product can be used to es-
timate the amount of light ends to be added to the feed stream in order to cor-
rectly model the column. In lieu of a direct analysis, methane can be added to
the feed and adjusted until the temperature profiles match the plant data.

Methods Comments
BK10 Fast and easy to use, and gives acceptable answers.
GS/IGS/GSE Comparable to BK10 for low pressure systems. Substitut-
ing LK for CP enthalpies may improve answer.
SRK / PR The results will be somewhat better than with BK10 near
the top of the tower where light ends may predominate.
May require more CPU time than BK10.
High Pressure Towers above atmospheric pressure usually contain greater concentrations of
Crude lighter components and therefore require more complex thermodynamic meth-
Systems, ods. BK10 has been used extensively in the past for these types of applica-
FCCU Main tions, but PR, SRK, GSE, IGS, and GS can be expected to give better
and Coker Main answers. The user should remember that the characterization of the petro-
Fractionators leum fractions is more important than the thermodynamic method for obtaining
good agreement with plant data. The API method should be used for the liquid
density.

For FCCU main fractionators, the petroleum fractions are much more hydro-
gen deficient than are crude fractions. Since most characterization correla-
tions are derived from crude petroleum data, it is expected that the results will
be less accurate than for crude fractions.
Recommended
Methods Comments
GS/GSE/IGS Usually faster than SRK or PR, but less accurate in the pres-
ence of a high concentration of light components. Substitut-
ing LK for CP enthalpies may improve the answers.
SRK / PR Use SRK or PR if light crudes dominate the top of the
tower.
Reformers and These units contain streams with a high hydrogen content. For the SRK and
Hydrofiners PR methods the PRO/II databanks contain extensive binary interaction pa-
rameters for component pairs involving hydrogen. The API method should be
used for the liquid density.
Historically, GS has been used successfully with hydrogen rich systems. In
general, SRKM and PRM should give better results with the improvement in in-
teraction parameters over previous versions.
Recommended
Methods Comments
SRKM / PRM Recommended because of the high concentration of hy-
drogen present.
Lube Oil and These units generally have non-ideal components present and require a more
Solvent complex thermodynamic method. SRKM or PRM is recommended, but the an-
De-asphalting swers will only be as good as the interaction parameters supplied by the user
Units for the non-ideal components. This complex method should not be used un-
less such data are available. If no specific data are available, SRKM yields re-
sults comparable to SRK, and the general SRK or PR method should be used.
The API method should be used for the liquid density.

SRKM/PRM Recommended when using user-supplied interaction data
for non-ideal components.
SRK / PR Use in place of SRKM or PRM when no user-supplied in-

2.2.2 NATURAL GAS SYSTEMS
For systems with less than 5 percent N2, CO2 or H2S, general equations of
state such as SRK, PR, or BWRS give excellent answers. The interaction pa-
rameters for hydrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide are esti-
mated using general correlations when user-supplied interaction parameters
are not available. The BWRS method should be used with more caution, since
it does not extrapolate as well as SRK or PR into the supercritical region.
For systems with higher concentrations of the sour gases, the default interac-
tion parameters may not produce the best possible answers. A general equa-
tion of state should still be used, but the user should supply better interaction
parameters to obtain good results.
The default water decant option is usually acceptable. However, for high pressure
systems where the solubility of hydrocarbon in water is significant and the solubil-
ity correlations of water in hydrocarbon break down, the Kabadi-Danner modifica-
tion to SRK should be used with the VLLE option. The Kabadi-Danner option as
implemented has been extended to include nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide, and hydrogen sulfide as specific components. Petroleum frac-
tion components are approximately identified as paraffins, olefines, aromatics, or
naphthenes, according to their Watson characterization parameters, when suitable
interaction parameters are supplied by the user.
For systems containing non-hydrocarbon components (such as methanol and
glycol acting as inhibitors), more complex mixing rules must be used to obtain
good results. The SRKM and PRM methods work well for these systems, but
the user must ensure that all the relevant interaction data are entered. These
methods automatically access the SIMSCI databank to retrieve all available in-
teraction data, but the user may have to supply additional data if the data for a
component pair are not in the bank. The VLLE option must be specified on the
METHOD statement if two liquid phases are expected.
Use the COSTALD method to calculate the liquid density for T r < 0.95. This
option is not the default method and must be specifically requested.
Recommended
Methods Comments
SRK / PR / BWRS These methods give good results for most hydrocarbon
and hydrocarbon-water systems.
SRKKD Use SRKKD(VLLE) for high pressure systems containing
hydrocarbons and water. SRKKD uses more CPU time
than SRK. Do not use SRKKD if other polar components,
such as methanol, are present.
SRKM / PRM / Use these methods for systems containing water and other
SRKS polar components, such as methanol. Always use the VLLE
option with these methods for this type of system.
SRKP / PRP Simpler versions of SRKM and PRM. These methods are not
as good as SRKM or PRM and do not significantly reduce CPU
time.

Systems teraction bank, and the data have been fitted over a narrow range of typical

Sour Water There are two methods available for the prediction of vapor-liquid equilibrium.
Systems They are identified on the METHODS statement as SOUR and GPSWATER.
SOUR
This method is based on a combination of the API/EPA SWEQ (Sour Water
EQuilibrium) model for sour water components (H 2O, H2S, CO2 and NH3) and
SRKM for all other components. The recommended range of application is:
Temperature (F) 68 < T < 300 F
Pressure P < 1500 psia
NH3 + xCO2 + xNH3 < 0.30
xWT WT WT
Composition
WT
where x i is the weight fraction in the aqueous phase.
In general, this method is recommended over the GPSWATER when CPU time
is a consideration.
GPSWAT
This method is based on the GPSWAT program for calculating sour water equilibrium.
The GPSWAT method is used for generating K-values for sour water components
(H2O, H2S, CO2, NH3, CO, CS2, COS, MeSH and EtSH). All other components are
calculated using SRKM. The recommended range of application is:
Temperature (F) 68 < T < 600 F
Pressure P < 2000 psia
Composition NH3 < 0.40
xWT
Sour gas partial pressure PCO2 + PH2S < 1200 psia
The GPSWAT method is valid for a broader range of applications than the
SOUR method, but requires significantly more computation time.
Amine The AMINE package is used for generating K-values for aqueous amine sys-
Systems tems and sour gases including H2S, CO2, H2O, MEA, DEA, DGA, DIPA, and
MDEA. All other component K-values are calculated using SRKM. At least one
amine and water must be present when using the package.
Data for the equilibrium constants are provided for MEA, DEA, DGA, DIPA,
and MDEA. However, the DIPA data are not recommended for use in final de-
signs. For MDEA, the model is modified to include composition effects.
SIMSCI Component and Thermodynamic Data Input Manual NATURAL GAS SYSTEMS
February 1997 Application Guidelines 169
Dimensionless residence time corrections to amine K-value calculations may
be specified by the user. These corrections are only appropriate for systems in-
volving MDEA or DGA. For all other amines, the entry is ignored if it appears.
The user can override the default value of 0.3 under the KVALUE keyword in
the THERMO DATA section in order to better fit the plant data. A RESI value
of 1.0 corresponds to an equilibrium model.
The data package may be used over the ranges of concentrations and acid
gas loadings typically encountered in gas processing. This includes the tem-
peratures and pressures for the contactor and regenerator. MEA processes
have been successfully applied in the 25-100 psig operating range. However,
DEA does not perform well under these conditions and is generally used at
higher pressures. Typically, contactor pressures for MEA contactors may
range from 100 to 500 psig, with DEA systems ranging from 100 to 1000 psig.
The amine regenerators are generally operated at temperatures less than 275
F, with a typical temperature being 255 F. Amine solution strengths for MEA
and DEA are generally within 15-25 wt% and 25-35 wt%, respectively.
The AMINE package accounts for heats of reactions by applying a correction
to IDEAL saturated liquid enthalpies. SRKM is also used for actual vapor den-
sities and IDEAL values are used for liquid densities.
Aromatic For systems containing all aromatic components, use the ideal method at low
Systems pressures as these systems are very close to ideal. For systems at pressures
above 2 atmospheres, use GS, SRK, or PR for a more accurate result.
The liquid density can be calculated using the ideal, the default API, or the
COSTALD methods. The COSTALD method has data for many aromatic com-
ponents, will give good results at higher temperatures, and is better than API if
any light components such as methane are present. For systems at high tem-
peratures with all aromatic components, the API method is as good and uses
Aromatic/ Traditionally, these systems are difficult to model accurately, but new equation-
Non-aromatic of-state mixing rules and alpha formulations can give excellent results when
Systems appropriate interaction parameters and alpha parameters are available. The
SIMSCI databank includes a large number of interaction parameters, but the
user should verify the availability of all critical parameters to ensure getting
good results. It is not necessary to use the VLLE option unless polar compo-
nents, such as water, are present.
For aromatic / non-aromatic extraction systems (e.g., DMF extraction of butadi-
ene), use a liquid activity method such as NRTL. Equations of state using the
advanced mixing rules can model this system as well but require more CPU
time to obtain the same results. As with all systems of this type, the results
are only as good as the supplied data. The SIMSCI databank has a large
amount of interaction data stored for the advanced mixing rules and the NRTL
and UNIQUAC liquid activity methods. However, the user must ensure that all
important interactions are covered in order to get good results. The liquid ac-
tivity methods have an advantage over equations of state, since they can use
the UNIFAC FILL option to estimate any missing binary interaction parameters.
Systems that include light gases can be modeled using the HENRY option in
conjunction with the liquid activity methods. This is acceptable when the light
gases are present in small quantities. However, if the gases are present in
large quantities, it is better to employ an equation of state using one of the ad-
vanced mixing rule methods. These calculate the solubilities of the gases
more rigorously.
Recommended
Methods Comments
SRKM / PRM / Use any of these methods for aromatic / non-aromatic
SRKH / PRH systems. Also use them for extraction systems at high
pressure, or when large quantities of supercritical gases
are present.
NRTL / UNIQUAC Use these liquid activity methods for extraction systems,
such as the extraction of butadiene using DMF. Use the
Henry option to model any supercritical gases present in
small quantities. Use the UNIFAC FILL option to esti-
mate missing binary pairs.
Alcohol A special bank of interaction coefficients for the NRTL method has been cre-
Dehydration ated for alcohol dehydration systems. The coefficients are applicable over a
Systems much narrower range than the general NRTL bank coefficients. The user may
specify either BANK=ALCOHOL on the KVALUE statement or SYSTEM=AL-
COHOL on the METHOD statement. The SYSTEM=ALCOHOL option calcu-
lates the vapor enthalpy and density using the SRKM method.
Recommended
Methods Comments
ALCOHOL Use for all alcohol dehydration systems.
NRTL / UNIQUAC Use when valid user-supplied interaction data are
available.
HF Systems A special equation of state, HEXAMER, has been created for systems contain-
ing molecules that hexamerize in the vapor phase. This method is recom-
mended for HF systems such as the HF alkylation process, and for the
manufacture of refrigerants and other halogenated compounds using HF.

Carboxylic Carboxylic acids form dimers in the vapor phase. To obtain accurate values
Acid Systems for vapor fugacity, enthalpy, and density, use the Hayden-O’Connell method to
calculate the vapor phase properties. Note that HOCV vapor phase fugacities
must be used in conjunction with a liquid activity method.

HOCV The Hayden-O’Connell method produces the best values
for vapor phase properties in these applications. Use the
PHI=HOCV, ENTHALPY(V)=HOCV, DENSITY(V)=HOCV
options on the METHOD statement.
Environmental These systems usually involve stripping dilute pollutants out of water. The normal
Applications liquid activity methods, such as NRTL, do not usually model these very dilute sys-
tems with sufficient accuracy. A better approach is to use Henry’s Law data for the
components in water. The Henry’s Law data can be obtained from data sources,
such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or are often available in the
SIMSCI databank. In order to model the systems accurately, the user should sup-
ply temperature-dependent values for the Henry data whenever possible. Non-tem-
perature dependent data often over-predict the required amount of stripping steam.
Solid Solid-liquid equilibria for most systems can be represented by the van’t Hoff (ideal)
Applications solubility method or by using user-supplied solubility data. In general, for those sys-
tems where the solute and solvent components are chemically similar and form a near
ideal solution, the van’t Hoff method is appropriate. For non-ideal systems, solubility
data should be supplied. For most organic crystallization systems, which are very near
ideal in behavior, the van’t Hoff SLE method provides good results. The VLE behavior
can usually be adequately represented by IDEAL or VANLAAR methods.

less than 10% of water. The SRK method is chosen.

General The Erbar modification to the Chao-Seader and Grayson-Streed methods of-
Information fers improved liquid fugacity coefficients for N2, H2S and CO2. These methods
do not support rigorous three-phase calculations, but they do support free
water decant. The Improved Grayson-Streed method has better liquid fugacity
coefficients for N2, H2S, CO, CO2, H2O and O2. This method supports a rigor-
ous three phase calculation but can also be used with the free water decant op-
tion turned on.
These methods are generally useful for petroleum refinery applications. Refer
to the PRO/II Reference Manual for additional limitations.

General The Peng-Robinson (PR) equation of state predicts K-values, enthalpies, entro-
Information pies, and vapor densities. It is most often used in gas and refining processes.
Without significant modification, it is generally not useful for highly non-ideal
systems. Liquid densities and VLLE behavior can be predicted with the PR
equation of state, but are not recommended without using an advanced form
(see Section 2.4.3).

General The pure component alpha formulations are used for methods based on the
Information cubic equation of state. The alpha function controls pure component properties
(vapor pressure, enthalpies and entropy) as opposed to the interaction parame-
ter (kij), which controls the mixture properties.
Alpha formulations are available with all cubic equations of state. The SAxx
entries are associated with SRK and modified SRK equations of state. The
PAxx entries are associated with the PR and modified PR equations of state.
The VAxx entries are associated with the UNIWAAL equation of state. PRO/II
will use all data supplied on the SAxx, PAxx, or VAxx statements. The con-
stants to be supplied on the SAxx, PAxx, or VAxx statements can be re-
gressed from experimental data using REGRESS TM. Components not entered
here will default to the method selected on the ALPHA entry.

General The program has an extensive facility to backfill missing binary interaction data
Information for liquid activity methods. If liquid activity coefficients are unavailable, they
may be estimated automatically if mutual solubility, infinite dilution or azeot-
ropic data are supplied. If none of these is available, the program seeks to find
azeotropic data in the SIMSCI databank. If these data are unavailable, the
FILL option can be used to estimate the required coefficients using group con-
tribution methods (UNIFAC or UFT1), regular solution theory, or Flory-Hug-
gins. If none of these methods are possible, the program then sets the binary
interaction parameters to zero. For solid-liquid equilibria, the FILL option may
be used to estimate solubility data missing from the databank, or not given by
the user. Missing values may be estimated using the ideal (van’t Hoff) solubil-
ity equation, or the solubilities may be set to 1.0 (completely soluble), or sol-
vents missing solubility data may be ignored in the solubility calculation.

General The SOUR package is used to predict VLE and/or LLE phase behavior. This
Information method does not support free water decant. This system uses the API/EPA
SWEQ (Sour Water EQuilibrium) method developed by Grant Wilson to model
sour water components NH3, H2S, CO2, and H2O. SRKM generates phase
equilibria for all other components.
The SOUR package is generally useful for applications involving sour water
containing less than 30% by weight of sour components.

General The AMINE package is used to predict VLE and/or LLE phase behavior. This
Information method does not support free water decant. This system uses the Kent-Eisen-
berg model for reaction equilibria with MEA, DEA, and DIPA and an additional
residence time correction for MDEA and DGA. A correction is applied to IDEAL
liquid enthalpies to account for heats of reaction. The DIPA data are not recom-
mended for final design purposes.
The AMINE package is generally useful for gas sweetening processes with a
single amine.

VAN’T HOFF SOLUBILITY SIMSCI Component and Thermodynamic Data Input Manual
358 Solid Solubility Methods February 1997
The solubility of solute i in solvent l at temperature T is given by:
∆Hm T ∆Cp Tt ∆Cp Tt
ln xi = − 1 + T − 1 − R ln T
RT Tt R
where:
∆Hm = enthalpy change of melting at Tt
∆Cp = heat capacity change of melting at Tt
Tt = triple point temperature
In practice, the more easily accessible solid melting temperature is usually
used instead of the triple point temperature.

able are:
VANTHOFF van’t Hoff ideal solubility equation. This is
the default.
ONE Missing binary solubilities set to 1.0 (i.e.,
all unspecified solids completely soluble).
FREE If a solvent k is missing binary solubility
data for a solute, the solvent is ignored in
the solubility calculation. That is, the sol-
vent mole fractions are normalized to a
k-free basis.
SOLUTE Specifies the solutes i,j,k... in the system.
SOLDATA This statement supplies the molar solubility of a solute i
in a mixture of i and solvent l, as a function of tempera-
ture according to the following equations:
ln (x il) = c1 + c2 ⁄ T + c3lnT

DIFDATA This statement supplies the diffusivity of a solute i in a
mixture of i and j. Diffusivity is a measure of the rate at
which a solute diffuses through a given area in a given
time period under a concentration gradient. The dimen-
sions of diffusivity are always in m2/sec. The diffusivity is
given as a function of temperature according to the follow-
ing equation:
ln Di,j = c1 + c2 / T + c3 ln T

Note: Data statements must appear immediately after a property statement.
The data statement, property statement and method statement must all refer
to the same property and method. Except for the K-value property, the val-
ues supplied on the data statement apply only to that property method calcu-
lation. They do not act as default values for any other property calculations.
However, if values are supplied on the data statement only for the K-value
property, these values act as defaults for other property calculations using
the same method.
The pure component data required for each generator are given in Table 2.9-1-1.
Only temperature independent data may be given in the Thermodynamic Data
Category. See Section A16, Solid Component Properties and Section A17, Com-
ponent Properties, for further details on format and definition of these data entries.
Hierarchy
The hierarchy that governs the use of pure component data is:
1. Any method-specific data supplied on the data statements for each prop-
erty in each method set.
2. Applicable default values supplied on data statements following a KVALUE
statement in the same method set.
3. Data supplied in the COMPONENT DATA statement.
4. Data stored in the component libraries as selected using the BANK option.
If data are still missing after steps 1-4 are completed, an error message is
printed and the program is terminated after input processing is completed.
