Abstract

The paper presents systematic treatment and implementation of the equilibrium reactions between the liquid phase components and what kind of data needs to be stored into the database of a steady state unit modular flowsheet simulator. The examples consider chemical systems of alkanolamines and wood polymers, which are both important topics from the sour gas capture and biochemical production point of view. The paper ...
