Accurate separation modelling in leading process simulators

Page last modified

June 17 2024

MySep Engine™ gives users of leading process simulators access to MySep separator modelling rigour for vapour-liquid separation, within their dynamic or steady state simulations. This brings much more accurate overall process modelling in applications where carry-over will have significant impact on heat and material balances.

Carry over of liquids with vapour can have a significant impact accuracy of material and heat balances in process simulations. The MySep Engine module embeds an accurate representation of gas-liquid separation behaviour inside a dynamic or steady-state process model. In addition to physically based representation of pressure drop and carry-over performance MySep’s practical warnings indicate where operational limits are exceeded.

Case studies on production optimalisation, troubleshooting and digitalisation can be found on https://www.mysep.com/case-studies-and-downloads.
