| New major release of steady state simulation software ProSimPlus available |
Top |
ProSim announces that a new major 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.

| ProSim and IFP sign an agreement for the valorization of the PC-SAFT model |
Top |
ProSim and IFP (Institut Français du Pétrole / French Petroleum Institute) announce the signature of a partnership agreement aiming to integrate the thermodynamic model PC-SAFT in ProSim software thermodynamic packages.
The IFP has recognized competencies in complex mixtures thermodynamics. It has developed and optimized a calculation code based on the SAFT (Statistical Associating Fluid Theory) equation of state, in its PC-SAFT (perturbed-chain SAFT) polar version.
This version allows (among other things) a better handling of polar or oxygenated molecules interaction. ProSim will add this code in its thermophysical properties calculation server, Simulis Thermodynamics, which will make it available in all software that integrate the server and in particular in the process simulator ProSimPlus.
"The quality of IFP’s work in this field and the competencies of its experts will help us quickly implement this new model in our software allowing users to access the model in convenient environments", explains Olivier Baudouin, ProSim Process Manager.

| Simulating a biodiesel production unit with ProSimPlus | Top |
This example illustrates the production of biofuel from pure vegetable oil with an alkaline catalyst.
The process involves a transesterification reaction that requires using an alcohol and allows producing biofuel and glycerol from oil.
It uses mainly simple reactors (for transesterification and catalyst neutralization), scrubbers and splitters to separate heavy components from light ones, and distillation columns to separate products and purify the biofuel.
The example shows in particular how to define several reaction sets for a process and how to use specifications imposed on columns output streams in order to reach required purities.
This example can be downloaded from ProSim's website. The file includes the ProSimPlus model and a description file.
