Tools

PDC uses proprietary computing tools to support the development team during a process synthesis project, leading to a significant increase of creativity while simultaneously minimizing the duration of the R&D project and finding most promising process concepts.

PROSYN TM guides systematically through the conceptual design of process flowsheets by asking questions and giving hints on flowsheet options that might be the most economical.

COOKBOOK allows a quick evaluation of the ideas generated by PROSYN TM and the process development team. It provides a complete framework for production cost estimation and allows sensitivity analysis once the cost model has been completed.

READOPT optimizes reactor network configurations for complex chemical systems with numerous side reaction and complex operating conditions.

Along with the above listed proprietary tools, PDC applies commercial software for various tasks such as AspenPlus for simulation, SuperTarget for energy integration, PROCAMD for computer aided molecular design and FORTUNE for reactive distillation column design.
