Hyprotech Announces Academic Version of Distil Software to Accompany ''Conceptual Design of Distillation Systems'' Textbook.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com and at www.newstream.com CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 2001 Software Release in Conjunction With New Textbook by Dr. Mike Doherty and Dr. Mike Malone Will Give Process Engineers an Improved Understanding of the Latest Methods for Designing and Analyzing Effective Distillation distillation, process used to separate the substances composing a mixture. It involves a change of state, as of liquid to gas, and subsequent condensation. The process was probably first used in the production of intoxicating beverages. Systems Hyprotech today announced the release of an Academic Version of DISTIL dis·till also dis·til v. dis·tilled also dis·tilled, dis·till·ing also dis·til·ling, dis·tills also dis·tils v.tr. 1. To subject (a substance) to distillation. 2. (TM) 4.1 as a companion to the recently published textbook: "Conceptual Design of Distillation Systems" by Drs. Mike Doherty and Mike Malone, McGraw Hill Chemical Engineering Series. DISTIL 4.1 is part of the Conceptual Design family of products from Hyprotech. The textbook and the accompanying software is a result of the pioneering effort by two of the world's top researchers in the field and Hyprotech. The authors have fashioned a text that develops models that are the basis for software tools for conceptual design. It clearly addresses both analysis and design with sharp attention to supplying mathematical correctness and providing physical insight. A restricted version of DISTIL 4.1 will accompany the text as a student version. DISTIL 4.1 focuses on the synthesis of distillation column systems dealing with multi-component, non-ideal systems and provides separation insights in an integrated and interactive environment. Complex column configurations can be easily explored. Additionally, DISTIL provides comprehensive data regression with access to thermodynamic ther·mo·dy·nam·ic adj. 1. Characteristic of or resulting from the conversion of heat into other forms of energy. 2. Of or relating to thermodynamics. databases. The technology behind the application enables process engineers to gain deeper understanding of their separation tasks and provides tools to drive the design process towards novel and economic processes in a fraction of the time normally spent on these activities. "The technology developed by Drs. Doherty and Malone has been widely recognized as a major breakthrough in Chemical Engineering. This joint effort will increase awareness among process engineers of the new tools that are available and will result in better distillation system designs," said Dr. Mark Broussard, senior vice president of technology at Hyprotech. "The delivery of leading-edge Chemical Engineering methods via high quality software is dramatically shortening the time it takes for outstanding research work from universities worldwide to reach the desktop of the practitioner Process Engineer". Today, many major chemical and petrochemical petrochemical, any one of a large group of chemicals derived from a component of petroleum or natural gas. The cracking processes for manufacturing gasoline produce vast quantities of gaseous hydrocarbons. companies are already using DISTIL to design and improve their distillation systems, such as BASF BASF Bar Association of San Francisco (since 1872; San Francisco, California) BASF Badische Anilin und Soda Fabrik (German chemical products company) BASF Builders Association of South Florida , Solutia, Bayer, DSM 1. DSM - Data Structure Manager. An object-oriented language by J.E. Rumbaugh and M.E. Loomis of GE, similar to C++. It is used in implementation of CAD/CAE software. DSM is written in DSM and C and produces C as output. , Rhone Poulenc, BP Chemicals, Shell International Chemicals and Enichem. About Hyprotech and AEA Technology AEA Technology plc was formed in 1996 as the privatised offshoot of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. Originally it consisted of divisions with expertise in a wide variety of areas, mostly the products of nuclear-related research. Hyprotech, a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. of AEA Technology plc (LSE LSE - Language Sensitive Editor :AAT Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) A blood component that breaks down infection-fighting enzymes such as elastase. Mentioned in: Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease ), is a leading supplier of engineering knowledge deployment solutions to the process industries, focused on innovation, improved profitability and operating performance throughout the enterprise lifecycle. With integrated capabilities to address design, automation, optimization and training, Hyprotech serves more than 1500 companies in over 80 countries.
