Simulation of phase equilibrium and separation processes

The purpose of the project, which is conducted within the IVC-SEP centre, is to develop efficient and robust algorithms for the simulation of phase equilibrium and separation processes.
The project also deals with the development and implementation of models for calculation of phase equilibrium and the development of computational tools for this purpose.
Algorithms from the Institute are today used worldwide, in particular in the petroleum industry. Recent efforts are concentrated on complex equilibria, as e.g the treatment of 3-phase equilibria in oil mixtures containing water and hydrate inhibitors, and on developing procedures for cases where the computational speed is all-important, such as flow- and reservoir simulators.
