SimSci – Powering the Industrial World
SimSci’s process design tools have the power and flexibility to simulate
a wide range of processes, from refining to chemicals. Our simulations
use accurate thermodynamic methods, physical property data,
component information and rigorous equipment models to create
superior designs. Engineers use these tools to continually evaluate and
improve processes with respect to their efficiency, effectiveness and
flexibility. Robust and accurate results allow engineers and management
to enhance the bottom line of their process or plant.
Spiral – Build Knowledge, Build Process, Build Profitability
Spiral Suite is the only platform for unified supply chain management of
hydrocarbons. Designed from the ground up to simplify, standardize and
accelerate feedstock management, trading, plant and network
optimization, scheduling and process unit monitoring. Spiral Suite’s
single source of knowledge allows enterprises to share and
communicate decisions between diverse teams, promoting collaboration
and discussion across global locations.
