New release for process engineering software
Hyprotech has announced the release of Axsys 1.1, its integrated process engineering solution for deployment throughout the lifecycle of complex process plants.
Axsys now to conform to PIP P+ID practice
Hyprotech have announced that they have licensed the Process Industry Practice Consortium Piping and Instrumentation Diagram Documentation Criteria Practice for incorporation into Axsys 1.1
The textbook and the accompanying software is a result of the pioneering effort by two of the world's top researchers in the field and Hyprotech.
The authors have fashioned a text that develops models that are the basis for software tools for conceptual design.
It clearly addresses both analysis and design with sharp attention to supplying mathematical correctness and providing physical insight.
A restricted version of DISTIL 4.1 will accompany the text as a student version.
DISTIL 4.1 focuses on the synthesis of distillation column systems dealing with multi-component, non-ideal systems and provides separation insights in an integrated and interactive environment.
Complex column configurations can be easily explored.
Additionally, DISTIL provides comprehensive data regression with access to thermodynamic databases.
The technology behind the application enables process engineers to gain deeper understanding of their separation tasks and provides tools to drive the design process towards novel and economic processes in a fraction of the time normally spent on these activities.
"The technology developed by Drs.
Doherty and Malone has been widely recognized as a major breakthrough in Chemical Engineering.
This joint effort will increase awareness among process engineers of the new tools that are available and will result in better distillation system designs," said Dr.Mark Broussard, Senior Vice President of Technology at Hyprotech.
"The delivery of leading-edge Chemical Engineering methods via high quality software is dramatically shortening the time it takes for outstanding research work from universities worldwide to reach the desktop of the practitioner Process Engineer".
Today, many major chemical and petrochemical companies are already using DISTIL to design and improve their distillation systems, such as BASF, Solutia, Bayer, DSM, Rhone Poulenc, BP Chemicals, Shell International Chemicals and Enichem.
