Energy efficiency

For most industrial plants, energy (steam, power, hot water…) is one of the significant costs of operation, after the raw materials. The strategy for the optimization of energy and water efficiency is a critical topic and simulation and optimization software have a key role to play to reach this goal.

Energy efficiency

The industry has realized that improving the energy and/or water efficiency of their processes represents considerable potential savings.

Our expertise in the field of energy and water efficient processes and the tools we have developed in this area, allow us to work on many projects in this area. This software can generate significant gains with a very short return on investment (at most a few months).

The software ProSimPlus Energy has modules specifically dedicated to energy efficiency, and Simulis Pinch allows to analyse the energy or the water efficiency of a process and automatically proposes practical solutions for optimization.

 

Application Case:
Pinch analysis using the pinch technology
Exergetic analysis
Energetic audit
Water use diagnostic

 

Fertilizers

The fertilizers industry makes use of nitric acid and nitrous vapors absorption production units, which are very complex production processes. For example, the absorption of nitrous vapors that reduces the emissions from nitric acid manufacturing processes is a complex process to control and furthermore to model or simulate.

Fertilizers

Nitric acid and ammonia

Whether considering the absorption of nitrous vapors to limit emissions and/or the production of nitric acid, the phenomena involved are complex to understand and to master. Their modeling requires very special skills and expertise.

For many years, experts from ProSim are working closely with manufacturers in this sector to enable them to increase their production efficiency, increase profitability, and be able to comply with new regulations.

 

ProSimPlus HNO3 software is dedicated to nitric acid production units and the oxidation-absorption of nitrous gases and has no equivalent on the market. ProSimPlus software is very efficient to simulate the production of ammonia.

 

Application Case:
Nitrogen based fertilizers
Ammonia
Nitric Acid
NOx
Nitrogen and synthetic gas
Nitrogen oxide

 

Waste & Effluent Treatment

In the context of their environmental strategy, industry and local authorities are concerned about the treatment and monetization of waste and effluents. This effort must meet budgetary constraints, environmental standards and of course ensure process safety.

A significant R&D effort and unprecedented validation is performed by ProSim with global industry leaders to provide solutions for process simulation to meet this challenge.

Waste & Effluent Treatment

Gas treatment

We work with the most innovative industrial companies in the sector to optimize the process of gas effluent treatment (NOx, VOC …) by different techniques (washing, absorption …).

The ProSimPlus software simulates and optimizes most of the processes of gas treatment (VOC, fumes …) or allow the study of carbon capture. ProSimPlus HNO3 is ideal when it comes to treating effluents containing NOx. When the approaches are limited by theoretical stages (absorption of certain pollutants up to a few ppm …), ProSim RBA that uses an approach using a “rate-based approach”, allows then a very precise analysis. Treatment processes by adsorption (activated carbon for example) can be addressed with the ProSim DAC software dedicated to the dynamic simulation of the adsorption columns (gas-solid).

Application Case:
Treatment of waste gas
Flue gas treatment
Incineration
Carbon capture

 

Liquid effluent treatment – Solvent regeneration

ProSim expertise is used by the industry for the development of processes for the treatment of liquid effluents. Solvent regeneration is also an area of activity and expertise, for which our tools are widely used.

ProSimPlus and BatchColumn software are the must-have tools in process simulation dedicated to the process analysis of liquid effluent treatment and solvent regeneration.

Fully predictive thermodynamic models permit to understand the effluent treatments processes with poorly known properties. The effectiveness of continuous distillation columns models (ProSimPlus) or discontinuous (BatchColumn), the ability to take into account several liquid phases (phase separation, extractive or heteroazeotropic distillation) and chemical reactions (reactive distillation) are undeniable assets of ProSim solutions.

Application Case:
Water treatment
Regeneration of solvents

 

Treatment of solid wastes

Treatment and recycling of solid wastes involve very complex and various processes.

The ProSimPlus software is used by industries in this sector to optimize their treatment processes of solid waste or waste recovery.

Application Case:
Digesters
Incineration
Methanation
