Since 1989, our achievements have gained global recognition.

Simulation involves the use of numerical modeling of a system to understand how it operates and to anticipate the consequences of changes. It is an effective technique for the analysis, design, and operation of complex systems. Process simulation offers a cost-effective solution to explore new methods and designs without the need for expensive laboratory or pilot-scale testing. It is also a powerful tool for enhancing the understanding of underlying phenomena.

The fundamental idea behind process simulation is to allow engineers to represent the behavior of a real physical process using a reproducible mathematical model. Our process simulation software replicates the simulated process by configuring an arrangement of pre-built unit operation modules (sequential modular approach).

Our process simulation software simulates and optimizes parameters of industrial chemical processes such as carbon emissions, energy consumption, chemical reaction efficiency, and equipment management. By optimizing these parameters, you can achieve significant cost savings, reduce your carbon footprint, and improve overall performance.
