Hyprotech Announces HYSYS Simulation Software Environment With Electrolyte Capabilities for the Chemical Processing Industry.Business Editors/High Tech & Environmental 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, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 23, 2001 Major Technology Advance for the CPI (1) (Characters Per Inch) The measurement of the density of characters per inch on tape or paper. A printer's CPI button switches character pitch. (2) (Counts Per I Delivers Best-in-Class Tool for Rating and Design of Aqueous Electrolyte Systems Hyprotech today announced the incorporation of aqueous electrolyte simulation and unit operation ability into its HYSYS(R) simulation environment. This move will extend electrolyte solution chemistry to a wider range of disciplines within manufacturing. Industrial applications of the technology include natural gas sweetening, sour water stripping, water treatment, gas scrubbing, caustic manufacture, sulfuric acid sulfuric acid, chemical compound, H2SO4, colorless, odorless, extremely corrosive, oily liquid. It is sometimes called oil of vitriol. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid production, chlorine manufacture, acid gas clean up, equipment scaling and processes, including acids, bases and salts. It is essential for the operators of such processes to understand the environmental impact, energy consumption, process performance, equipment reliability and effects of trace components, PH, temperature and solid precipitation. The HYSYS environment will allow easy access to operating parameters and process models for all manufacturing personnel. Key advantages of the HYSYS environment are ease-of-use, lifecycle implementation and flexibility. This innovative approach will extend electrolyte simulation from research and development across the entire manufacturing discipline. The steady state and dynamic simulation Dynamic Simulation is similar to a physics engine, the technology used in many powerful computer graphics software programs, like 3ds Max, Maya, Lightwave, and many others to simulate physical characteristics. of Hyprotech's HYSYS software environment has now been underpinned by the superior aqueous chemistry modeling capabilities of the OLI OLI Open Learning Initiative (RSA) OLI Operation Lifesaver, Inc. OLI Open Learning Institute (Britain) OLI Originating Line Information (qualifies Automatic Number Identification) Systems' Engine and Databank. The combination of HYSYS and OLI Systems software modules creates a powerful new tool for optimizing the design of electrolytic processes occurring in many industrial applications. OLI Systems' technology seamlessly imbeds within the HYSYS environment and enables engineers to simulate almost any aqueous chemical system, thus immediately increasing productivity and improving process designs. Tom Fiske, ARC Senior Analyst, commented: "Hyprotech's HYSYS is already one of the most powerful, versatile, and flexible simulation environments on the market today. By teaming with OLI Systems, Hyprotech is extending its strong value proposition to the chemical processing industry. Their highly integrated model-centric lifecycle approach to simulation will improve the designing capabilities and operational performance of manufacturers involved with electrolytic processes." Chemical processing companies are facing critical changes in market demands and competition, and are mandated to extract greater value from their software tools. The changing nature of the worldwide chemicals market and increased environmental restrictions make it increasingly important for these companies to understand electrolytic processes more comprehensively.

Dr. Marshall Rafal, President of OLI Systems, said: "OLI System's has worked in partnership with Hyprotech since 1994, when our technology was first integrated into Hyprotech's HYSIM HYSIM Highway Driving Simulator HYSIM Hydrologic Simulation Model software. Our long-term relationship is further strengthened by this joint venture to develop and market state-of-the-art electrolyte chemistry modules for the chemical processing industry. The combination of Hyprotech's innovative technology, OLI's electrolyte expertise, and the seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. of the two, creates a special opportunity for the development of advanced aqueous chemistry applications by a large community of users." Hyprotech's Senior Product Manager, Andy Howell, added: "This is another step in Hyprotech's "one model approach" to deliver focused simulation and modeling to the CPI in one environment for all process manufacturing The manufacturing industry that uses process control systems.

Historically, it grew out of efforts to construct more efficient heat engines—devices for extracting useful work from expanding for 79 inorganic elements, and more than 3000 organic molecules, including many organic electrolytes. As part of HYSYS, this databank, coupled with OLI System's rigorous thermodynamics and electrolyte chemistry, allow virtually any aqueous based system to be modeled. Both Hyprotech and OLI Systems' software is used by major companies in the oil & gas production, gas processing and refining industries for the design of chemical processes worldwide, including Dow, Bechtel, DuPont, Mitsubishi Chemicals, Monsanto and UOP (micro OPeration) The "u" is the substitute letter for the µ symbol. See microinstruction. . About OLI Systems OLI Systems is the leading provider of software for aqueous-based chemical systems for the Chemical Process Industries. Based upon its core technology, known as the OLI Engine, OLI provides software solutions for process, environmental, upstream oil and gas, and corrosion.
