CHEMCAD New Release
CHEMCAD New release Version 6.2 with new features:-

•Uses a single mode for flowsheet drawing, specification, calculation, and PFD creation.

• Creates single-file simulations that are easy to work with and share.

• Easy cloning of UnitOps and streams using Templates feature.

•New structure of component database improves handling and sharing of user-defined components; over 100 new components added.

• Auto-convergence option now available for distillation columns.

• VBA™/VSTA™ now embedded into CHEMCAD.









Carbon Capture & Storage

In response to the increasing importance of Carbon Capture and Storage from Power Plant, Chemstations have developed new thermodynamic models for investigations into the viability and economics.

A new special K model now allows study of Pre-combustion Carbon Capture using adaptations of the well established Selexol physical solvent absorption process.

An AMINE model is already available for the study of chemical absorption using MEA, DEA and similar mixtures which can be treated as pseudo-components.

A modified Benedict Webb Ruben Starling K model is now available, with special CO2 parameters, for the study of CO2 compression and pipeline transfer to storage.

Chemstations have released a new application note “Power Plant Carbon Capture with CHEMCAD”. This paper is available for download in the White Papers section.

P&I Design have been actively involved in developing CCS simulations in both The Pre-combustion and Post-combustion CCS fields.














Cryogenic Batch Reactor Optimisation Paper
We have just presented the paper “Cryogenic Batch Reactor Optimisation” at the 2nd Symposium for Computer-aided Process Optimisation held in Hurth, Germany held under the auspices of InfraServ GMBH and Chemstations GMBH.

This paper is available for download in the White Papers section.
