Equilibrium Module

The Equilibrium Module includes an API to the Electrolyte Simulations powered by OLI Systems, Inc., now integrated seamlessly into the METSIM® user interface. Leverage the powerful calculation capabilities of this great product from within METSIM® simulation models.

Solve complex chemistry-related design and operations challenges with insights from OLI’s first principles-based models, resulting in optimized material selection, improved asset reliability, enhanced process yield, and increased R&D productivity. OLI chemical equilibrium calculations replace the need within METSIM® to enter individual chemical reactions and their respective extents, decreasing model-development time and cost while resulting in trusted results. Processes that can be modeled within METSIM® in both steady-state and dynamic modes with the OLI API include:

• Lithium and associated salt processing, tank and pond models included
• Hydroxide and carbonate precipitation plants based on pH adjustments
• Counter-current decantation (CCD) circuits utilizing METSIM® mechanical and equipment-dependent operating parameters, eg stage-wise mixing efficiency
• Dynamic heap leaching models, precious and base metals
• Solvent extraction circuits for base metals
• and many more. Download a product sheet.
