The new OLI Cloud Platform for industrial digital transformation
May 18, 2021
OLI Systems brings fifty years of electrolyte simulation to join clients in partnership towards their digital transformation goals. This discussion will center around the V11 capabilities which OLI has developed to be that strong partner – specifically the OLI Cloud APIs for automation of electrolyte calculations and OLI Cloud Apps to empower all types of users with electrolyte insights.
Electrolytes in practice: Thermodynamic modeling of aqueous systems
April 29, 2021
In this webinar, OLI’s CTO, Dr. Andre Anderko, will explain the importance of electrolyte modeling and how to handle speciation, wide temperature and pressure ranges, phase and chemical equilibria.
HF Alkylation in Refining: Thermodynamics and process simulation to mitigate corrosion
March 23, 2021
The HF alkylation process converts low molecular-weight alkenes and iso-paraffins into larger branched-chain paraffinic hydrocarbons with a high-octane number (MON and RON) and low RVP using HF as the catalyst. A common problem in this process is the corrosion caused by the absorbed water to the HF catalyst.
The Science of Adsorption and Ion Exchange Processes in Industrial Water Treatment
February 9, 2021
Adsorption reactions are ubiquitous to industrial processes including industrial water treatment, gas processing as well as mining and metals. They are an important part of water treatment processing for separation and purification applications.
Thermodynamic Foundations of Corrosion
November 24, 2020
To accurately predict and mitigate corrosion risk with simulation models, it is necessary to know the properties of corrosive environments, the metallurgical properties of the alloys that undergo corrosion, and the interactions between the metals and the environment, which are in turn is determined by the interfacial reactions and mass transfer effects.
Mitigating Corrosion with an Electrolyte Digital Twin
October 29, 2020
According to NACE, the worldwide corrosion authority, corrosion has caused the upstream offshore production and refining industries USD 65 billion/year in financial loss. They recommend that operators implement a corrosion management system, which can reduce the cost of corrosive damage by 15-35%. Incorporating a rigorous, asset-wide predictive digital twin is vital for achieving these reductions.
Electrolyte Chemistry Analysis Capabilities in Industrial Process Simulators
September 24, 2020
In this episode, OLI’s Vice President of Client Support and Application Engineering, Jim Berthold will discuss details of how the OLI electrolyte chemistry simulation technology is integrated with various industrial process simulators including Aspen Plus/HYSYS, Aveva PRO/II, gPROMS, Honeywell Uni-SIM, KBC Petro-SIM, SysCAD.
Modeling of Corrosion of Corrosion Resistant Alloys
August 13, 2020
OLI Systems has a proven reputation in the global Oil & Gas and Chemicals sectors for helping companies overcome the challenges of corrosion. With comprehensive water chemistry expertise, OLI Systems enables customers to simulate field conditions with extreme accuracy to identify and predict at-risk areas for corrosion and other issues.
Rare Earth Elements: Developing efficient extraction and purification processes
July 9, 2020
OLI is currently developing the predictive technology needed to design the extraction and purification processes for rare earth elements, yttrium and scandium (REY).
Lithium Mining: Maximizing yields and lowering costs with electrolyte simulations
June 4, 2020
Lithium demand is expected to increase several-fold in this decade, and effective sourcing of lithium from existing and new deposits is the challenge moving forward. The key sources of lithium include saline lakes (salars), lithium-bearing minerals, and to a lesser degree, lithium-bearing clays, recycled batteries, oilfield produced water, hydrothermal deposits, and seawater.
Mitigating Corrosion Risk in Pipelines and Ships during Carbon Transportation
May 7, 2020
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are extremely important to reduce CO2 emissions to limit the global temperature rise. During carbon transportation, process impurities like NO2, SO2, H2S, etc can form highly corrosive acids that can lead to catastrophic failure of carbon steel pipelines or tanks.
