SimSci-Esscor Releases Enhanced Flowsheeting and Process Optimization Solution; PRO/II System Offers Improved Unit Operations, Third-Party Connectivity and Batch Distillation Upgrades.LAKE FOREST, Calif. -- SimSci-Esscor (UIR UIR Upper Flight Information Region UIR Unusual Incident Report UIR User Interface Requirement UIR Wire Connector (used on drawings, etc.; phonetically, UIR sounds like 'wire') UIR Uniform Impedance Resonator UIR User Incident Report :JXT JXT Java Xml Toolbox 7272), an operating unit operating unit A type of operating company that engages in transactions with outsiders and that is owned by another business. For example, in 1995 the stockholders of Capital Cities/ABC approved a $19 billion merger with the Walt Disney Company, whereupon of Invensys Systems, Inc., today announced the release of its PRO/II v7.0 system, an enhanced steady-state flow sheeting and optimization simulation solution. The PRO/II solution is designed to address the complex challenges faced by process industries. Providing users with the capability to simulate the entire facility, the new enhancements to the PRO/II system can significantly improve engineering productivity by reducing model development time. Plants can increase flexibility and profitability through enhanced process engineering design and operational analysis. The PRO/II system performs rigorous mass and energy balances for a wide range of plant processes from oil and gas separation to reactive distillation Reactive distillation is a process where the chemical reactor is also the still. Separation of the product from the reaction mixture does not need a separate distillation step, which saves energy (for heating) and materials. . It is utilized by a variety of industries including oil and gas processing, refining, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceuticals, engineering and construction. "SimSci-Esscor is committed to upgrading core products such as the PRO/II solution to meet new customer demands as well as evolving technological challenges," said Alastair Fraser, SimSci-Esscor's vice president of SimSci-Esscor's simulation business line. "The latest enhancements we've made to this flowsheeting and optimization solution make it one of the most advanced solutions in the market and position it as a global industry standard for the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries for years to come." The upgraded system provides a direct link to the Xist heat exchanger program developed by Heat Transfer Research, Inc. (HTRI HTRI Heat Transfer Research, Inc. ). Users can access the HTRI Xist user interface directly from the PRO/II system's graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to for data entry and results review. SimSci-Esscor's solution can transfer input data from the rigorous heat exchanger to the Xist program or back. Additional enhancements to the PRO/II system's openness and software connectivity provide engineers with better connectivity to third-party calculation packages. Complying with the Global Computer Aided Process Engineering (CAPE-Open) standards, the solution provides support for integration of third-party 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. property packages and unit operations that adhere to the CAPE-Open standard. The system includes enhancements to the batch distillation module which enable users to perform a variety of tasks such as calculating vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium at the condenser condenser Device for reducing a gas or vapour to a liquid. Condensers are used in power plants to condense exhaust steam from turbines and in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapours, such as ammonia and Freons. and allowing condenser and reboiler conditions to be used as specifications. The upgraded module also enables users to draw trend graphs that demonstrate how each of the variables will change during operation. The upgrade also supports copy and paste To copy files from one location to another or to copy text and images from one document to another. All modern operating systems and applications have a copy and paste capability that is typically selected from an Edit menu. See cut and paste and Win Copy between windows. functionality for unit operations. New feed and product streams are automatically created for a pasted unit operation and the internal specifications of the old unit are duplicated to the new unit. Other new features include seamless integration with Dynsim, SimSci-Esscor's dynamic process simulator solution, and upgraded transport property methods that provide new calculation procedures for liquid density, liquid viscosity, liquid thermal conductivity, surface tension and vapor viscosity.
