Chemical Engineering Softwares

THE ENERGY ANALYST is a series of , 26 sophisticated engineering programmes for the engineer who specifies, operates, or tests power plant components or evaluates energy alternatives. For more than 11years, more than 3000 users have attested to the power and professionalism of these programs.
Processing, Storage Tanks, Pressure Vessels, Mixing Systems

CerebroMix is an unique PC-based program which encompasses all the functionality of the other CerebroTank,  Cerebro products, CerebroPV and CerebroMixLight. It is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in the evaluation and design of mixers in vertical tanks, either pressurized or atmospheric. Using data input  such as primary dimensions, fluid properties and certain desired mixing objectives, the program will output full operating conditions, critical impeller speeds, liquid level gradation, solid suspension and all system dimensions.

CerebroPV is an easy-to-use PC program to  provide assistance in the evaluation and design of vertical and horizontal storage tanks, running either pressurized or at atmospheric conditions. Using some input data such as principal dimensions, fluid density, material, desired tank shape (including heads) and support type, the software calculates structural characteristics for both the tank and the support structure using ASME Section VIII Division 1 standards. This software allows both users and manufacturers of pressure vessels to check their equipment for various operating conditions, in order to provide a risk assessment. The program gives result  in the form of a Word Document, with all data listed in tabular form, together with a scale drawing of the tank and its support structure.

Enviropak is a combustion calculator and incinerator design package for organics. The user can choose from the resident database of compounds or define new compounds. Recovery heat exchange, combustor sizing and destruction efficiency are all features of this powerful software package. Included is a useful combustion properties estimation module. Result includes analysis of combustion gases with computed temperature and residence times.


Physical Properties and Steam Tables
zCalc is a software for calculating compressibility of Natural Gas mixtures using the American Gas Association methodology from their AGA-8 Report. The software quickly takes a mixture of natural gas (up to 20 components) and calculates the compressibility, supercompressibility,molar density, mass density, base compressibility .


Chempak is a powerful physical properties software package which gives details of thermodynamic and transport properties of over 600 common organic as well as inorganic compounds as functions of temperature and pressure. All common chemical engineering constant and variable properties are included. Liquid and vapor phases are covered as well as saturated and unsaturated states. Mixtures of database compounds and new liquids can be defined. Numerical and graphical output are supported. Chempak links to Chempak II - Madison's user-defined compounds software package.
Chempak II enables the user to define the thermodynamic and transport properties of new compounds not already in the Chempak database. From as little information as the compound chemical formula, the user can build up a complete profile of the compound properties and add the compound to the Chempak database for future recall and calculation. Chempak II allows the user to enter known property data and also provides sophisticated estimation methods where no data is available. Chempak II provides the perfect companion software to Chempak.




Process Simulators
The COCO Simulator is a free-of-charge, CAPE-OPEN compliant, steady-state, non-commercial, graphical, modular and, sequential simulation process modeling environment. It was originally built as a test environment for CAPE-OPEN modeling tools but now provides free chemical process simulation for students. It is an open flow sheet modeling environment which allow’s anyone to add new unit operations[3] or thermodynamics packages.
The COCO Simulator uses a graphical representation, the Process Flow Diagram (PFD), for defining the process to be simulated.  By Clicking on a unit operation with the mouse allows the user to edit the unit operation parameters it defines via the CAPE-OPEN standard or to open the unit operation's own user interface, when available. This interoperability of process modeling software was enabled by the advent of the CAPE-OPEN standard. COCO thermodynamic library "TEA" and its chemical compound data bankare based on ChemSep [4] LITE, a free equilibrium column simulator for distillation columns and liquid-liquid 
extractors.

DESIGN II for Windows is a rigorous process simulator for chemical and hydrocarbon processes including gas processing, gas treating,  pipelines,hydrogen facilities, fuelcells, ammonia, methanol and  refining,refrigeration,petrochemical,
DWSIM is an open-source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator for Windows, Mac. and Linux . DWSIM is built on top of the Microsoft .NET and Mono Platforms and features a Graphical User Interface (GUI), advanced thermodynamics calculations, reactions support and petroleum characterization / hypothetical component generation tools.
DWSIM is able to simulate steady-state, vapor–liquid, vapor–liquid-liquid, solid–liquid and aqueous electrolyte equilibrium processes
OLGA is a modelling tool for transportation of oil, natural gas and water in the same pipeline, which is called as multiphase transportation. The name is short for "oil and gas simulator". The main challenge with multiphase fluid flow is the formation of slugs (plugs of oil and water) in the pipelines, which causes large problems at the receiving end at the platform or the onshore plant. The modelling tool makes it possible to calculate the flow of fluid and safely bring the flow to the receiving destination on shore, on a platform or a production ship .
ProMax is a chemical process simulator for process troubleshooting and design, which was developed and sold by Bryan Research and Engineering, Inc. ProMax was launched  in late 2005, ProMax is a continuance of two previous process simulators, PROSIM and TSWEET. ProMax is considered the industry standard for designing amine gas treating and glycol dehydration units.[1]h the pipes.
PRO/II [1] [2][3][4] from the Schneider Electric SimSci brand is a steady-state process simulator (process simulation) for process design and operational analysis for process engineers in the chemical, petroleum, natural gas, solids processing, and polymerindustries.
It includes a , thermodynamic property prediction methods,chemical component library and unit operations such as distillation columns, heat exchangers, compressors, and reactors as found in the chemical processing industries. It can perform steady statemass and energy balance calculations for modeling continuous processes.[5][6]
ROMeo[1][2]Rigorous Online Modelling and Equation Based Optimization is an advanced online chemical process optimizer of SimSci, a brand of Schneider Electric software[3] It is mainly used by process engineers in the chemical, petroleum and natural gasindustries.
