Mixture Prediction

Overview

The gE models NRTL, Wilson and UNIQUAC, the predictive methods UNIFAC, mod. UNIFAC, PSRK, VTPR, COSMO-SAC, and COSMO-RS(Ol)  as well as calculation via various process simulators and equations of state are provided to estimate data and binary parameters. (includes s-profiles for 25 components and GC2GE).

The Add-On integrates data prediction into

  • many of the different query result dialogs for DDB mixture data
  • the simultaneous mixture data regression tool Regression Mix
  • process synthesis tools
  • ...

For all models, the most recent published parameters are included. Nevertheless it is advisable to join the UNIFAC Consortium to gain access to the largely extended UNIFAC, mod. UNIFAC, PSRK and VTPR parameters that are only available to Consortium members.

The UNIFAC consortium delivers the required customization files to upgrade the methods in the  Mixture Prediction Add-On, in Aspen Plus, Chemcad, Pro/II (Sim4ME), ProSimPlus and Simulis Thermodynamics.

Using the Mixture Prediction Add-On, data sets of different type can also be predicted instead of loaded from the data bank. In the query result dialog of the DDB, several or all datasets can be selected and the data can be compared to the results of the predictive methods for verification.
