ProSimPlus

ProSimPlus is process engineering software from Fives ProSim. It performs mass and energy balance calculations for industrial processes running in steady state, and is used both to design plants and to run existing ones better.

What ProSimPlus offers

• Plant design — models steady-state processes during front-end engineering.
• Operations support — helps with performance optimisation, troubleshooting units, removing bottlenecks and revamping plants.
• Python interface — a newer API allows simulation to be driven from Python.
• Related tools — the maker also sells a nitric acid version, thermodynamic property software, batch column and reactor simulators, heat exchanger tools and energy optimisation software.

Who it works with

Industries including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, gas, fertilisers, nuclear, bio-based industry, refining, petrochemicals, effluents and waste, plus teaching and research.
