7.0 Process simulation software
Model the plant. Test the decision.
Design, rate, troubleshoot and optimize process facilities in one engineering environment. ProMax combines rigorous thermodynamics, equipment models and current operating data without separating the flowsheet from the work.

- Plant systemsPI, OPC-HDA and ODBC
- 01
Build
Draw the process and define the engineering basis.
- 02
Rate
Check equipment against the conditions in the model.
- 03
Connect
Bring current operating data into the same environment.
- 04
Optimize
Test constraints and compare practical operating points.
Process modeling
Build the process where engineers already work.
Draw the flowsheet in Microsoft Visio, specify streams and equipment, and move directly from the process basis to calculated performance. Excel integration supports reporting, data exchange and custom engineering calculations.
- Material and energy balances
- Thermodynamic and electrolyte methods
- Equipment sizing and rating
- Cross-flowsheet calculations
Automated Data Exchange
Keep the model aligned with current operating data.
ProMax 7.0 can import plant data, execute the model and return calculated results to the systems your team already uses. Compare the model with measured conditions, investigate discrepancies and preserve the run for review.

ProMax 7.0
New and enhanced tools for decisions engineers already make.
ProMax 7.0 adds focused modeling, analysis and equipment tools. Optimization improvements include held values, clearer constraint descriptions and easier organization of variables and constraints.
Find a practical operating point.
Define objectives and constraints with model properties, Excel cells or mathematical expressions, then adjust multiple variables together.
Optimization ToolFollow the pressure through a depressurization case.
Model vessel or pipeline depressurization for relief sizing, fire cases and maintenance deinventorying.
Relief systems
Compare valve options against the model.
Narrow control valve types and sizes using calculated flow, opening and pressure drop requirements.
