Fives ProSim and the energy transition

With an increased focus on climate change and energy transition, companies are moving to more sustainable operations. In this context, Fives ProSim develops the tools that allow industries to reduce their carbon footprint, to be more energy efficient and to make the best use of available resources (raw materials, water…).

Today most of the companies see CO2 reduction as a competitive advantage. But in order to achieve this reduction, they need to quantify the impact of the modifications to the plants they can imagine on their CO2 footprint as well as the corresponding costs (both CAPEX and OPEX). The software we offer are essential tools to tackle decarbonization challenges: design appropriate carbon capture units, develop new technologies in this field, perform sensitivity analysis, optimize operating parameters, generate the data necessary for an LCA analysis, find ways to use captured CO2 as raw material to synthetize other molecules…

Hydrogen is also a huge initiative area where Fives ProSim technology is required to design and operate production plant, to optimize distribution network, to test new concepts in order to produce green hydrogen with models before moving forward…

Everyone knows that the greenest energy is the one that is no longer consumed. Improving energy efficiency of industrial processes is no longer an option. Fives ProSim brings to the market software tools allowing to reduce energy consumption: process energy balances, exergy analysis, pinch technology for both energy and water consumption reductions, etc.

Having accurate thermodynamic models and being able to simulate all the equipment of a processing plant and optimizing their operation are key.

Fives ProSim is today at the heart of the challenges that the industry must meet to remain competitive.
