gPROMS Solids is implemented within PSE’s powerful gPROMS steady-state and dynamic fl owsheeting environment.

Options include:

■ The PSE Advanced Model Library for Solution Crystallisation (AML:SC)

■ Hybrid gPROMS-CFD Multizonal interface for equipment scale-up studies.

SOLUTIONS

gPROMS Solids delivers a step-increase in capability to engineers responsible for the design and operation of industrial solids processes. Key differentiators include:

■ full steady-state and dynamic modelling ■ ability to robustly handle large numbers of recycles

■ rigorous optimisation taking into account many fl owsheet and equipment design variables simultaneously

■ parameter estimation to estimate process parameters from laboratory or operational data

■ powerful graphical facilities for modelling of complex operating procedures including those for batch and semi- continuous processes

■ upstream integration with gPROMS crystallisation and gas-liquid process models for simultaneous design.

BENEFITS

Model-based engineering and optimisation techniques can deliver superior economic performance and signifi cant competitive advantage.

Typical benefi ts include: ■ reduced capital investment ■ reduced operating costs ■ improved product quality ■ increased throughput ■ more fl exible process design ■ reduced CO2 footprint ■ better understanding of processes. Page 1  |  Page 2  |  Page 3  |  Page 4
