We would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you ProcesSimO™ 1.0, the world’s first drying-centered process simulation software application, designed specifically for drying and evaporation related process simulations.

ProcesSimO™ can be used to model a drying process, an evaporation process, or a combined evaporation and drying process. Using the streams and unit operations provided by the software, users can construct any drying and evaporation related processes they wish to model, design and analyze. They can also explore different arrangements of unit operations and experiment with different operating conditions to optimize their designs and operations.

Engineers can use ProcesSimO™ to design drying and evaporation related plants. Based on design requirements they can quickly layout the heat/mass/pressure balance calculations using this software and obtain the necessary process parameters such as the air flow rate of a dryer, the capacity and power input of a fan, the heating duty of a heater, etc. They then can choose equipment according to the simulation results. They can also easily layout an existing plant on a flowsheet and optimize its operation.

University professors will find that ProcesSimO™ is an efficient tool for undergraduate and postgraduate students to do projects for chemical engineering/ unit operations/ food engineering and related courses. With this software package students can do what-if analysis which would otherwise take an unrealistically long time to accomplish. It can also be used as a teaching tool to show students the effects of input parameters on the output parameters for a typical plant.

ProcesSimO™ software includes a drying gas stream, a drying material stream and 19 unit operations, namely solid dryer, liquid dryer, cyclone, air filter, bag filter, electro-static precipitator, wet scrubber, scrubber condenser, fan, compressor, steam jet ejector, pump, valve, heater, cooler, heat exchanger (which can be used as an evaporator), liquid-vapor separator, mixer and tee. It also includes a logical unit operation, recycle, to simulate recycled gas or material stream. In addition to heat/mass/pressure balance calculations in all the unit operations, ProcesSimO™ also contains a simple dryer scoping model, a detailed cyclone rating model as well as simple and complex heat exchanger rating models for single phase heat transfer.

A humidity chart and unit converters are also included in ProcesSimO™ as utilities. The humidity chart utility can be used to visualize either the state of a drying gas or an isenthalpic drying process. The unit converters utility covers all chemical engineering units.

The software package includes a tutorial and a set of predefined flowsheets.

Compared to other process simulation software packages, ProcesSimO™ 1.0, is offered at a very affordable price.
