R & D Partners
In order to increase its innovation power and to extend its coverage of the market, ProSim has been establishing strategic partnership and alliances with best-in-class partners for several years. Among them, you will find:


INP-ENSIACET / Laboratoire de Génie Chimique
ProSim has a strong relationship with university research centers and more especially with the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieur en Arts Chimiques Et Technologiques.
Created in 1949, the "Institut du Génie Chimique" has been renamed "Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Génie Chimique de l'Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse" (INP/ENSIGC) in 1985.
In addition to its teaching activity, The ENSIGCT is also a research center, through the "Laboratoire de Génie Chimique" (LGC). The LGC with 200 staff members, 7000 m2 of buildings and an overall annual budget of 7,3 Million Euros is one of the main European research center in Chemical Engineering. The LGC is constituted by several research teams, specialized in one specific field (gas-liquid separation, solids and particles, separation processes, stirring and mixing...).
An old and strong relationship has been established between ProSim SA and the Process Analysis and Simulation team of Professor Xavier JOULIA.

CAPEC Consortium (Computer Aided Process Engineering Center)
The CAPEC consortium is a recognized institution for the research in computer aided process engineering (CAPE) and particularly in applied thermodynamics. It promotes the development of sustainable technologies within the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and biochemical industries.
The consortium gathers major players of these industries (Akzo-Nobel, AstraZeneca, Bayer, DuPont, GlaxoSmithKline, ICI, Mitsubishi Chemical, Petrobras, Roche or Unilever), and software developers such as ProSim, around the team lead by Professor Rafiqul GANI at the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Technical University of Denmark.
This partnership enables ProSim to remain at the edge of CAPE developments, in the prediction of physico-chemical and phase equilibrium properties fields.

UNIFAC Consortium
The UNIFAC consortium develops and manages the contribution methods known as UNIFAC, Modified UNIFAC (Do) and the predictive equation of state PSRK.
This consortium gathers the sector's main industrial players, engineering and processes analysis companies as well as software vendors such as ProSim, around the team lead by professor J. Gmehling at the Oldenburg University. Taking part of this consortium allows ProSim to have access to specific data and parameters two and a half years before the market does. ProSim's customers that are part of UNIFAC Consortium will also be able to access these parameters through its software.

DIPPR Consortium
AIChE's Design Institute of Physical Properties is an industry consortium that helps promote the development of databases that contain the critical design information. In particular DIPPR project 801 aiming to create a database of evaluated process design data of physical, thermodynamic, and transport properties for industrially important chemicals used in chemical process and equipment design is of major interest for ProSim.
This partnership provides ProSim with exclusive benefits including: access to the most current version of the DIPPR database, the opportunity to interact with major investigators, data experts, and process engineers from the other member chemical, E&C, and software companies, or influence the selection of which chemicals, properties, and correlations are included in the DIPPR® 801 Database and the direction of the project.

LGCB (Laboratoire de Génie Chimique et Biochimique)
The LGCB is a research laboratory from the Blaise Pascal University (Clermont-Ferrand / France). Members of the lab conduct the research and the teaching in process engineering in the university and for associated courses (CUST et ENSCCF). Researches are conducted in engineering science, food and biological processes.
The LGCB is partner of ProSim in the research on electrolyte thermodynamics: ULPDHS

Nordon Cryogénie
The NORDON Group represents an entity that has a strong experience in the prefabrication and erection of industrial piping systems equipment for complete malting plants and breweries, as well as, through its subsidiary Nordon Cryogénie, in the manufacture of brazed aluminium heat exchangers. ProSim and Nordon Cryogénie have developed a software to simulate brazed aluminium heat exchangers, mainly used in cryogenic processes. This software, named ProSec, is now available and presents unequalled performances on the market.

Total Petrochemicals
ProSim has a long term partnership with the petroleum company TotalPetrochemical for the valuation and the development of the Ariane software, for the optimization of energy production plants. Both entities have collaborated during specification, development phases and during the testing and validation of the software, in particular in refining and petrochemical plants.

GRETh (Groupement pour la recherche sur les échangeurs thermiques)
The GRETh is an association that gathers and dispatch scientific and technical results of researches conducted in the field of heat exchangers.
It gathers relevant industrials, in particular heat exchangers manufacturers and users and engineering companies.
This partnership enables ProSim to contribute to the value of these research results through its software.
