New user-friendly solutions help chemical processors tackle tasks beyond design and optimization
Initially, steady-state simulation was used in the chemical process industries (CPI) to design a plant or a process. Advances in the technology, along with the need to produce more product in a more efficient and profitable manner, kick started the trend of using simulation tools to optimize new and existing processes. Today’s dynamic modeling, digitalization, more powerful computers and swifter calculation capabilities have led to increasingly prolific use of software by engineers in all facets of the chemical facility. Simulation software is now readily available to help with specific tasks, such as improving safety, operator training, increasing reliability and achieving corporate goals, including sustainability, energy efficiency and, of course, profitability [...] Read more on Chemical Engineering website
