CO2SIM
CO2SIM is a flowsheet simulator that is continuously under development at SINTEF. It is today an advanced platform for modelling CO2 absorption processes.
The software is used as an important part of the research strategy in SINTEF to develop new solvents and concepts for CO2 capture. It contains models for detailed simulation of thermodynamic vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE), reaction kinetics and transport properties. The simulator is numerically stable which makes it possible to simulate complex configurations for process optimization.
CO2SIM uses methods for - batch simulation of pilot results for validation and verification of new solvent models.
