The CHEMCAD suite includes six products that can be purchased individually or bundled as needed to accommodate specific industries, projects, and processes.

CC-STEADY STATEChemical process simulation software that includes libraries of chemical components, thermodynamic methods, and unit operations to allow steady-state simulation of continuous chemical processes from lab scale to full scale.

Ideal for → Users who want to design processes, or rate existing processes, in steady state.

CC-DYNAMICSProcess simulation software that takes steady-state simulations to the next level of fidelity to allow dynamic analysis of flowsheets. The possibilities are endless: operability check-out, PID loop tuning, operator training, even online process control and soft sensor functionality.

Ideal for → Users who want to design or rate dynamic processes.

CC-THERMHeat exchanger design and rating software available as an add-on or standalone program. CC-THERM makes use of multiple international standards for design and materials to make sizing a heat exchanger faster and more accurate. The program covers shell-and-tube, plate-and-frame, air-cooled, and double-pipe exchangers. Rigorous designs are based on CHEMCAD’s foundation of physical property and phase equilibria data.

Ideal for → Users who want to design or vet a design by a vendor of a heat exchanger (single unit at a time), and those who want to rate existing exchangers in new service or perform “what if” calculations.

CC-SAFETY NETPiping and safety relief network simulation software that allows rigorous analysis of any piping network. It combines the latest in two-phase relief device calculation, rigorous pressure drop calculation, rigorous physical property calculation, and rigorous phase equilibrium calculation to deliver fast, accurate answers.

Ideal for → Users who need to design or rate piping networks or safety relief devices/systems.

CC-FLASHPhysical properties and phase equilibria calculation software that is a subset of the CHEMCAD suite (all of the CHEMCAD suite products include CC-FLASH capabilities). This program allows rigorous calculation of physical properties and phase equilibria (VLE, LLE, VLLE) for pure components and mixtures.

Ideal for → Users who need physical property and phase equilibrium data, as well as users who need property prediction and regression.

CC-BATCHBatch distillation simulation software that, when used as an add-on or standalone program, makes batch distillation simulation and design easy with intuitive, operation step-based input. CC-BATCH is extremely flexible, with many operating modes and the capability to model any number of operating steps and conditions. CC-BATCH optimizes batch operation, minimizes intermediate “slop” cuts, and increases productivity.

Ideal for → Users who want to design or rate a batch distillation column.
