Stick with it -- Pro II has a steep learning curve -- almost a cliff, but after about 2 weeks you will come to appreciate how powerful a program it is.
AND DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL THE HELP DESK!!!! TYPICALLY THEY ARE EXCELLENT>>>>
If this is a single loop, calculation can be estimated well by hand. See Crane Handbook "Flow of Fluids" for calculation of pressure losses via nomograph.
Assume x flow through loop and Y direct. Calculate losses and adjust flow until you get a match.... Same as CDG above.

Solubility of salts is based on temperature and PH. Salts will fall out at a lower temperature and dissolve at a higher temperature. How will the equipment change the temperature? Will the removal of CO2 change the PH?
Bench tests will help....Also check with some people who run geothermal...
Annie,
ProII is one of the easiest to learn!!! The graphical user interface and the ability to put exchanger data into a spreadsheet makes this program a lot easier to put refining and most chemical processes through a lot of "what-if" situations... I have used HCOMP, HYSIS, ASPEN and PRO-II...

chasbean1,
Your comment of vortex not being a problem is not entirely correct.
The presence of a column of air in water (the vortex) will quickly drop the average weight of the column of water (over the piping inlet.) Hence, NPSHa will drop quickly when the vortex extends down into the basin...

Reconsider using a siphon system and submersible pump. At least run through a power consumption calculation.... Include your heating loss for the steam piping to get to your location...

ali2u,
I had a bad copy of HYSIS and couldn't get it to perform with any stability on my operating system. Two months later we finally got it running. So if you have having problems with it running consistantly complain loud and often... My problem was in March 2002, so hopefully the...
sshep,
Relief devices are rated by upstream pressure, and DERATED by built up back pressure.
A lower MAWP for a vessel can require large diameter piping downstream of the relief device. You should consider the cost of the system, not each piece.
Stonecold's observation of 50 psig and full...
What is the temperature of the water to the pump?
The water is saturated with air and the frictional loss to the pump is so high that at the pump suction is 16" of mercury vacuum.
You are most likely cavitating the pump due to lack of NPSH available and the evolution of air from the water...
I have used small steam eductors just for this purpose. To drain water out of a sulfuric acid tankfarm sump. They worked well, were available from vendors such as Granger.
However, consider the cost of the steam to move the liquid.
If you are moving a large volume of water, I suggest you...
