ProSim DAC

Dynamic adsorption column simulation

ProSim DAC is a dynamic simulation software for adsorption columns. Both adsorption and regeneration steps (TSA, PSA, VTSA…) can be modeled. ProSim DAC is a decision support tool to conduct in-depth analysis of solid-gas adsorption operations including refinery hydrogen purification, isotopic separation, VOC emission control, solvent recovery… The software is mainly used in nuclear, air treatment and hydrogen studies.

SOFTWARE FOR THE SIMULATION, OPTIMIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF INDUSTRIAL GAS ADSORPTION PROCESSES

ProSim DAC is a software developed by ProSim engineers for process engineers. The objective of the software is to enable process simulation and optimization for a large range of industrial gas adsorption processes such as cyclic processes (pressure-swing adsorption, temperature-swing adsorption…). The software will allow the selection of optimal adsorbents, the design of improved adsorption cycles, and the improvement of general plant operations. The user is able to quickly test process modifications and their performance.

ProSim DAC is a specific software based on our successful ProSimPlus product, so it uses the same graphical user interface and graphical capabilities as ProSimPlus.
