ProSim, leading European process simulation software house, announces that a new release of its steady state simulation software, ProSimPlus, is now available. ProSimPlus is a powerful process engineering software used in design and operation of existing plants for process optimization, units troubleshooting or debottlenecking, plants revamping or for performing front-end engineering analysis. It provides a unique thermodynamic module and a comprehensive unit operations library that allow the modeling of a wide variety of processes. ProSimPlus is used in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, oil, refining, gas treatment, pharmaceutical, specialty chemical or energy.
This new release provides users with a flexible environment that helps them meet today’s engineering challenges successfully and increase their efficiency and productivity. Improvements aimed at reinforcing ProSimPlus fundamental strengths: rich thermodynamic package, comprehensive set of unit operation models and unrivalled convergence methods. Additionally, a new an easy to use and learn graphical interface ensures quick learning and optimizes access to simulation results. Sustained by high quality support services and a flexible licensing policy, the new release of ProSimPlus reinforces ProSim’s positioning as the alternative to historical providers.
Simulis Thermodynamics, ProSim’s thermodynamic server is now fully embedded in ProSimPlus. Beside unmatched flexibility in the definition of thermodynamic profiles used in the process, this module offers a full set of functions for the detailed analysis of the thermophysical phenomena that can occur in a process. In particular, transport or thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria on streams can be calculated in only a few clicks. The thermodynamic model library was enriched with equations of state PR78 and PR78BM and with several calculation services in particular for Reid vapor pressure, equilibrium constants and surface tension or residue curves plotting.
Several unit operation modules such as the “Pipe Segment” or the “Heat Exchanger” were enhanced with additional configuration options or new calculation methods. In particular, a new interface was built for the “Optimization” module allowing the user to configure the calculation parameters more easily.
All these improvements are supported by a complete revision of the graphical interface. The new version facilitates the creation and the in-depth analysis of a process diagram. In a particularly convenient and flexible environment, the user can easily build, structure and analyze the most complex flowsheet, thanks in particular to labels text, shape or image insertions or to the ergonomic features such as subflowsheets or zoom. Simulation results can be accessed directly from the flowsheet in popup tables, charts or in each unit operation windows.
The new release is now shipping to customers under maintenance with detailed description of the upgrades.
