NEW HSC CHEMISTRY® 6.0
Outokumpu Technology has just released a new version of the
renowned HSC Chemistry® process calculation software which enables the user
to simulate the whole chemical or physical process. The new HSC Chemistry®
6.0 contains 21 calculation modules and 11 databases for reaction, equilibrium,
heat balance, heat transfer, petrological and simulation applications.
Most of the calculation modules automatically utilize the same
extensive thermochemical database which contains enthalpy (H), entropy (S) and
heat capacity (C) data, hence the name HSC. This database has been expanded to
include over 20,000 species.
A Great Step
forward for Green Chemistry
The rapid increase in the
standard of living in the developing world means that more and more natural
resources are required. Consequently we need new technology and better
scientific tools in order to conserve the diversity and beauty of nature, and
to simultaneously allow increased consumption by large population groups in all
nations.
The new HSC flowsheet simulation module makes it possible to
optimize process output and minimize waste materials, identify metering errors
and improve the understanding of process interdependencies. HSC may be used to
rapidly focus expensive experimental research towards ideal process conditions,
for example, in chemistry, metallurgy, mineral processing, energy production
and many other areas of industry.
The HSC flowsheet enables the
pre-test simulation of the effect of recycling streams, raw materials and
different operating conditions on process efficiency and emissions, all on a
desktop computer without needing to disrupt the actual process. In short, HSC
may be used to convert hazardous waste materials into valuable raw materials.
32 Years of Experience
HSC Chemistry was originally
developed for Outokumpu Technology as an in-house tool. This work started back
in 1974, when equilibrium compositions of sulfur plant flue gases had to be
estimated. Since then, new calculation modules and databases have been
developed according to the needs of hundreds of different research projects. A
large number of experts, programmers and university students have participated
in the software development and database compilation work within the last 32
years.
The development of the new flowsheet simulation modules started
in 2002, more than 30 process simulation models have already been created using
the new flowsheet simulation module before this Autumn's release of the latest
HSC version to the public.
Pricing and Availability
The
HSC 6 license is available from the Outokumpu Technology Web site for a price
of 1190 Euros. HSC 6 is an invaluable tool for any process engineer or
scientist because one laboratory experiment may cost much more than a single
HSC license.
