Petro-SIM 7.3 Tools

Peng-Robinson variants from Multiflash


Peng-Robinson variants and PC-SAFT are now available in Petro-SIM v7.3.


Peng-Robinson Variants

Additionally, the Peneloux liquid density correction is used in the following thermodynamic packages:

  • PR (Advanced)
  • PR78 (Advanced)

Enhanced hydrate inhibitor flow rate calculations


Using the Lab Analysis Utility, Petro-SIM can accurately calculate the flow rate of hydrate inhibitor as per User specifications.

  • The Lab Analysis has a list of common hydrate inhibitors
  • The hydrate inhibitor flow rate calculations consider either temperature depression or target temperature

Emissions reporting and estimation


  • Rigorous emissions calculations option in the gas turbine and burner unit operations

GT rigorous emissions page
  • Combined heat and power energy units sub-flowsheets can now report a summary of emissions

LP Utility and Base Delta


  • The LP Utility and Base-Delta can generate and handle non-linear equations
  • Variables used in the Base-Delta can use an exponent term
  • Now there the ability to have non-linear expression, i.e. a simple quadratic expression, has been implemented by allowing the user to "clone" the variable term

Miscellaneous improvements


  • Ability to expand component list when a Multiflash MFL files is used in Petro-SIM
  • Extended composition for C8 and C9 naphthenes
  • Tracking the origin of variables in the Multivariable Navigator is now displayed in the trace window
  • Spreadsheet now keeps number format from Excel
  • KPI Utility now indicates trend, min, max and target
  • New ability to export and import component mapping matrices
  • Material stream reports the fugacity factor for a specific component
  • Excel custom tables take the colour code from Petro-SIM
  • Petro-SIM object/view/variable from Excel workbook
  • Import assays as XML in Assay manager
  • Customizable tooltips
  • Crude distillation envelope graph from plant data
