Objective
In this article, we will explain how to access the Flowsheet: ESP Case Library and the types of industry examples available through this feature.
Disclaimer: The user interface, calculations, and results displayed in this article are from OLI Flowsheet: ESP Version 12.0.0. Other software versions may appear different or present slightly distinct results due to continual developments to the software and thermodynamic databanks.
What is the Flowsheet: ESP Case Library?
The Case Library equips users with a collection of industry process models created by OLI experts within the Flowsheet: ESP environment. These files serve as templates for modeling different systems, which you can customize to fit your unique processes.
How do I access and use the Case Library?
The Case Library is automatically downloaded with the “Typical” installation of Flowsheet: ESP. If you do not see the Case Library after following the steps below, please uninstall the Flowsheet: ESP application and reinstall it from downloads.olisystems.com. During installation, please choose the “Typical” install option.
- Open Flowsheet: ESP and navigate to the Menu Bar > File > Case Library.
This opens a window displaying a list of application areas and industries, such as carbon capture/storage, desalination, cooling towers, flue gas scrubbing, scale prediction, rare earth extraction (REE) processing, boiler feed water, lithium production, and more.
- Select an application to view available case files.
- Click on an example of interest. A window will appear with a detailed overview of the case file, including constraints, relevant chemistry, and associated verticals.
- Click “Launch” to open the file.
- You can then edit and build upon the existing case file, and save it as a new file locally.
Conclusion
With the Flowsheet: ESP Case Library, you have access to a wealth of resources from OLI to support innovative and accurate simulations. Take advantage of these templates to enhance your process modeling and achieve better results.
