AspenTech Delivers Batch Process Development Innovations for Pharmaceutical and Specialty Chemical Industries.New Release of aspenONE[R] Software Accelerates Process Development and Reduces Manufacturing Costs BURLINGTON, Mass. -- Aspen Technology Aspen Technology (NASDAQ: AZPN) provides software and professional services to the manufacturing and process industries which allows companies to model, manage, and control their operations. AspenTech was founded in 1981 by MIT professor Dr. , Inc. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). : AZPN.PK), a leading provider of software and services to the process industries, today introduced batch process development innovations for the pharmaceutical and specialty chemical A Specialty chemical is a chemical produced for a specialized use. They are produced in lower volume than bulk chemicals, of which petrochemicals, made from oil feedstocks, are the most common. However, both are produced in a chemical plant. industries. The innovations in the new 7.1 release of aspenONE software will help chemists This is a list of famous chemists: (alphabetical order) : Top - 0–9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A
* The 7.1 release includes a new process development console and GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. enhancements that simplify batch modeling processes, ensuring efficient and error-free transfer from lab to pilot to manufacturing. * The new release also accelerates process development through improved solubility solubility Degree to which a substance dissolves in a solvent to make a solution (usually expressed as grams of solute per litre of solvent). Solubility of one fluid (liquid or gas) in another may be complete (totally miscible; e.g. modeling and reaction modeling integrated with batch distillation Batch distillation[1] refers to the use of distillation in batches, meaning that a mixture is distilled to separate it into its component fractions before the distillation still is again charged with more mixture and the process is repeated. . Supporting Quotes: Dr. Ugo Cocchini, Principal Process Engineer-Team Leader, GlaxoSmithKline "aspenONE V7 offers us at GSK GSK GlaxoSmithKline plc (pharmaceutical company) GSK Glycogen Synthase Kinase GSK Gruppentraining Sozialer Kompetenzen (Germany) GSK Greenland Shark (FAO fish species code) a step-change in our modeling and design methods. In particular, the introduction of Aspen aspen, in botany aspen: see willow. Aspen, city, United States Aspen (ăs`pən), city (1990 pop. 5,049), alt. 7,850 ft (2,390 m), seat of Pitkin co., S central Colo. Reaction Modeler and the NRTL-SAC thermo method for modeling separation processes will make a significant difference for our way to approach process design." Peter Crafts, Principal Process Engineer, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals "Solubility prediction is of strategic importance to AstraZeneca Process R&D. Our industry is increasingly challenged to deliver efficient and environmentally acceptable processes. Taking just a few physical property measurements and extrapolating them to predict temperature and composition effects on solubility is very desirable. The solubility modeling capability with NRTL-SAC in aspenONE V7 is one of the tools we use in our crystallisation process design workflow The automatic routing of documents to the users responsible for working on them. Workflow is concerned with providing the information required to support each step of the business cycle. . aspenONE helps leverage solubility data to optimise optimise - To perform optimisation. solvent choice and processing conditions. We look forward to future developments from AspenTech that will further increase the areas of application." Jamie Hintlian, Vice President & General Manager, Pharmaceuticals, AspenTech "One of the biggest challenges facing Pharmaceutical and Specialty Chemical companies is being able to deliver and share information from a lab environment into a pilot plant and ultimately full scale manufacturing in an efficient and error-free manner. With aspenONE V7, we are significantly streamlining the Process Development workflow. This is yet another key component in the execution of our strategy to extend our process industry innovation to Pharmaceuticals and other batch industries." Additional Benefits Additional benefits to pharmaceutical and specialty chemical companies offered by the 7.1 release of aspenONE include: * Improved efficiency of valuable chemist (jargon) chemist - (Cambridge) Someone who wastes computer time on number crunching when you'd far rather the computer were working out anagrams of your name or printing Snoopy calendars or running life patterns. May or may not refer to someone who actually studies chemistry. and chemical engineering resources in process development - freeing them up to do more experimentation and value-added activity in R&D * Reduced risk of pilot plant batch failure by guiding chemists and engineers to a narrower range of tested process conditions * Accelerated product development through faster solvent screening * Improved yield and reduced waste costs by enabling the chemist and chemical engineer to examine more process options in less time * Process selection to minimize emissions and support for environmental compliance reporting * Reduced time to create pilot plant batch records by automating the generation of the batch record from the master recipe * A more robust process delivered to manufacturing through a more thorough tech transfer process Supporting Resources: To learn more: * aspenONE for Pharmaceuticals * aspenONE for Specialty Chemicals * aspenONE for Specialty ChemicalsaspenONE V7 Engineering * The 7 Best Practices of Engineering Excellence * What the Industry is Saying about aspenONE V7 Engineering * AspenTech 2009 User Conference About AspenTech AspenTech is a leading supplier of software that optimizes process manufacturing The manufacturing industry that uses process control systems.
