Aspen Simulations of Pretreatment Technologies

Task 1) Advise Argonne on Aspen Simulations developed at Argonne Advise Argonne on development of Aspen simulations of dilute acid pretreatment and ammonia fiber explosion Aspen models. Task 2) Develop Aspen simulation models of additional pretreatment technologies Develop Aspen models of additional pre-treatment technologies such as with ionic liquids. Develop Aspen models of upstream processes to produce process chemicals such as solvents or ionic liquids. Task 3) Documentation Document approach to Aspen simulations conducted at NWU and develop stream tables and other figures as necessary for technical report.
