Cytec Selects Hyprotech Software and Training for Continuous Processing Performance and Profitability.CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 1998-- Advanced, Integrated Software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package. and a Partnership Approach in Technology Transfer Makes Hyprotech Vendor Of Choice Hyprotech Ltd. announced today that 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. firm Cytec has selected a software package to deliver high-value continuous processing support and innovative process modeling capability, in a licensing agreement that includes training to enhance technology transfer. The software delivery is first stage in a developing partnership with Cytec to enhance decision-making, improve process performance, optimize production, and develop a sustainable and maintainable base of accumulated deep process knowledge. The licensing agreement for the software suite includes HYSYS, HTFS HTFS High Throughput File System heat exchanger heat exchanger Any of several devices that transfer heat from a hot to a cold fluid. In many engineering applications, one fluid needs to be heated and another cooled, a requirement economically accomplished by a heat exchanger. modeling software (TASC TASC The After School Corporation TASC The American Surrogacy Center TASC Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities TASC The Analytic Sciences Corporation TASC Transportation Administrative Service Center TASC Total Administrative Services Corporation (Shell and Tube), ACOL ACOL Abortion Clinics OnLine ACOL Advisory Committee for Online Learning (Canada) ACOL AIDS Committee of London (Ontario, Canada) ACOL Air Combat On-Line (US Navy) (Air Cooled), FIHR (Fired Heater), APLE APLE Appellee APLE Average Power Laser Experiment APLE Association of Public Lighting Engineers (UK) (Plate and Frame), HYCON HYCON Hybrid Control: Heterogeneity and Complexity of Networked Embedded Systems , FLARENET, and Electrolytes.

The core model jointly developed in HYSYS initially will be used to troubleshoot and debottleneck the continuous processing plant. This model will then become the key tool for operations staff to obtain validated performance data, including key performance indicators Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are financial and non-financial metrics used to quantify objectives to reflect strategic performance of an organization. KPIs are used in Business Intelligence to assess the present state of the business and to prescribe a course of action. , from start-up through the commissioned life of the plant. "Cytec will use Hyprotech's software to achieve Fortier Plant's site wide goals," said Phil Knieper, Consulting Process Engineer for Cytec. "Rigorous, validated, predictive models will enhance engineers, operators, and managers capabilities to troubleshoot, debottleneck, optimize, retrofit, plan, maintain, and train." "Hyprotech worked closely with Cytec to understand their processes, business performance criteria and plant-wide modeling goals. Then, we developed a total solution -- a combination of different tools -- designed to meet their specific business needs, including training to maximize the return on investment for Cytec," said Gerald Jacobs Gerald Jacobs is a British author and the literary editor of the Jewish Chronicle.
