others are measured. It is used as a backup tool, detailed investigation
reviews, and/or a way of verifying simulator confidence.
VMGSim – Comprehensive, fully interactive process simulation for oil, gas and
chemical industries. VMGSim is the default simulation tool utilized at Gas Liquids
Engineering. VMGSim also includes dynamic simulation capability.

8. Process Engineering Software
ProTreat - ProTreat® software was originally developed for simulating processes for
the removal of H2S, CO2, and mercaptans from a variety of high and low pressure gas
streams by absorption into thermally regenerable aqueous solutions containing one
or more amines. Recently added capabilities include the physical solvent DMPEG
(dimethylether of polyethyleneglycol) for acid gas removal, and dehydration using
triethylene glycol (TEG). The ProTreat package makes exclusive use of a column
model that treats the separation as a mass transfer rate process. This completely
eliminates the need for empirical adjustments to simulate new applications correctly.
Equilibrium stages and user-supplied estimates of tray efficiencies and HETPs are
avoided, and columns are modeled with the number of real trays and physical depth
of real packing they actually contain.
