444 11. Toolkit
FIG. 11.1 Hydrate stability and inhibitor dosage software.
The tool is designed for use with water distribution networks as shown in Fig. 11.2.
As it provides the ability to update fluid viscosity, it can be used for chemical injec-
tion distribution system analysis. Frictional pressure drop is evaluated with the Hazen-
Williams, Darcy-Weisbach, or Chezy-Manning methods. The model also has many
additional capabilities such as chemical growth or decay reaction in the flowing fluid,
pump curves, etc.
The software allows to model chemical injection into the fluid stream and track chemical
concentration in the network, and is available at: https://www.epa.gov/water-research/
epanet
Free modeling tool for single phase fluid flow use for water injection system
The EPANET2 tool may also be used for single phase flow networks as shown in Fig. 11.3.
The software is available at: https://www.epa.gov/water-research/epanet
Free modeling tool for scale stability
PHREEQC water ion saturation analysis tool is available from United States Geological Survey
as shown in Fig. 11.4.
