AspenTech releases BATCH PLUS for recipe-based modeling of BATCH processes.CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 1997--Aspen Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : AZPN) today released BATCH PLUS(TM), a new software system for the modeling and simulation of complex, recipe-based pharmaceutical and batch chemical processes. "The introduction of BATCH PLUS is strategic for us to meet our vision of providing complete solutions for the design and operation of manufacturing plants in specific process industries. BATCH PLUS significantly strengthens AspenTech's ability to serve the pharmaceutical and batch chemical industries," said Larry Evans

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . BATCH PLUS is the first commercially-available system to support modeling of recipe-based processes across the entire manufacturing life cycle, from R&D, through engineering and into production. No widely-used commercial software exists today for the modeling of recipe-based chemical processes. BATCH PLUS is available for the Microsoft(R) Windows 95 and Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. platforms. AspenTech has worked closely with key customers, including Merck, to develop BATCH PLUS. "BATCH PLUS will revolutionize rev·o·lu·tion·ize tr.v. rev·o·lu·tion·ized, rev·o·lu·tion·iz·ing, rev·o·lu·tion·iz·es 1. To bring about a radical change in: Television has revolutionized news coverage. 2. the way we do process engineering, scale-up, and process analysis at Merck," said Mr. Lawrence Kennedy, Executive Director of Process Engineering at Merck & Co., Inc. "It will allow us to design more cost-effective processes more quickly. In addition, we intend to use BATCH PLUS as the means by which we communicate process information throughout Merck." Operating companies operating company A business that engages in transactions with outsiders. expect BATCH PLUS to generate substantial business benefits by enabling them to reduce time-to-market, lower manufacturing costs and increase the return on manufacturing assets. AspenTech President Joseph Boston explains, "The recipe metaphor is the natural representation of the chemical process in the batch industries. The unique technology in BATCH PLUS is the recipe-based simulation engine that can model one batch or a whole plant. The user performs one relatively simple task -- entering the batch process recipe. The breakthrough is that we use this single representation of the process to generate a broad range of results very quickly." BATCH PLUS is used to evaluate process alternatives, estimate costs, perform process scale-up, analyze utility requirements, perform emissions calculations and debottleneck existing plants. BATCH PLUS outputs are generated in Visio Corporation's Visio(R) graphics, Microsoft(R) Excel spreadsheets and Microsoft(R) Access databases.
