Maximize process efficiency with the OLI Engine
Unlock the full potential of your commercial process simulator with the OLI Engine, the industry-leading water chemistry software. Seamlessly integrate advanced modeling into your workflow to predict, prevent and optimize outcomes for scaling, corrosion and complex systems —boosting operational reliability and performance across a range of industries.
OVERVIEW
Automate the analysis of multiple chemical streams simultaneously. Predict key properties, like pH, conductivity, scaling and corrosion rates, and other pertinent values.
Create your own interface with the OLI Engine or use interfaces to process simulators to simulate chemistry behavior and predict optimal operating envelopes and mitigate risk of scaling and corrosion.
The OLI Engine: Developer Edition adds electrolyte calculations to custom Windows applications. Use the capability to create custom calculation interfaces.
There are two options to access the OLI Engine – The Developer Edition described here (Fortran code with C wrappers and C++ classes) and the OLI API (C++ code layered on top of Core Interface with VBA development required for MS Excel). This is described below.
Key Capabilities
- Multiple Equilibrium calculation options – standard, isothermal, pH, precipitation points, custom
- Properties and phase separations
- Pourbaix diagrams (E-pH diagrams)
- Corrosion rates calculation
- Accepts private OLI databanks
Sample applications
- Embed OLI Engine as a property method in a any flowsheet simulator
- Automated calls to the OLI platform from a software platform
- Customize MS Excel spreadsheets with OLI calculations using VBA
OLI provides Custom interfaces that link the OLI Engine to commercial process simulators. They are used to improve the accuracy of process design.
The OLI Alliance Engine is available for Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS, Aveva PRO/II, Honeywell UniSim Design, KBC Petro-SIM, Kenwalt SysCAD,PSE gPROMs, and Schlumberger Symmetry.
