----Problem Statement:
What are the solving methods used in columns in HYSYS?
Solution:
The methods described below allow and facilitate the solution of columns.
a) HYSIM Inside-Out: General purpose method, which is good for most problems.
b) Modified HYSIM Inside-Out: General purpose method, which allows mixer, tee, and heat exchangers inside
the column subflowsheet. Only a simple Heat Exchanger Model (Calculated from Column) is available in the
Column subflowsheet. The Simple Rating, End-Point, and Weighted models are not available.
c) Newton Raphson Inside-Out: General purpose method, which allows liquid-phase kinetic reactions inside the
Column subflowsheet.
d) Sparse Continuation Solver: An equation-based solver. It supports two liquid phases on the trays, and its
main use is for solving highly non-ideal chemical systems and reactive distillation.
e) Simultaneous Correction: Simultaneous method using dogleg methods. Good for chemical systems. This
method also supports reactive distillation.
f) OLI Solver: Only used to calculate the column unit operation in an electrolyte system
Many times, changing the solution method helps the convergence of the column.
