SimSci-Esscor(TM), an operating unit of Invensys plc, has launched the latest version of its Hextran(R) heat exchanger simulator for its new SIM4ME(TM) environment.
Hextran is used in the refining, petrochemical, chemical, gas processing and engineering and construction industries.
SimSci-Esscor, a leader in advanced process control, optimisation and simulation solutions for the process industries, is offering the new version of its heat exchanger simulator as the first in a series of applications for SIM4ME.
SIM4ME has been designed to help businesses build open solutions for the process industry. It employs an enhanced graphical user interface featuring a full range of process engineering functions within a plant. Based on a model-centric approach, it is designed to host SimSci-Esscor’s comprehensive solution offerings which include design operational analysis, dynamic simulation, operator training, on-line performance monitoring and real-time optimisation.
SIM4ME has also been designed to support SimSci-Esscor’s steady state and dynamic-modelling solutions, along with the full power of SimSci-Esscor’s process optimisation capabilities.
Hextran’s standard features allow users to predict process outcome, evaluate the efficiency of cleaning processes, monitor performance of units for fouling and optimise heat transfer yields. Hextran for the SIM4ME environment offers a number of enhanced features and advantages, including:
As an integral part of the SIM4ME solution, the new 9.0 version of Hextran includes features that allow plant operators to more easily evaluate complex design, operational and retrofit situations enabling the development of new systems for maximum efficiency.
Hextran includes an easy access to HRTI and HTFS programs. The simulation application also identifies problems before they occur, providing companies an opportunity to adjust processes accordingly.
