SimSci – Powering the Industrial World

SimSci’s process design tools have the power and flexibility to simulate

a wide range of processes, from refining to chemicals. Our simulations

use accurate thermodynamic methods, physical property data,

component information and rigorous equipment models to create

superior designs. Engineers use these tools to continually evaluate and

improve processes with respect to their efficiency, effectiveness and

flexibility. Robust and accurate results allow engineers and management

to enhance the bottom line of their process or plant.

Spiral – Build Knowledge, Build Process, Build Profitability

Spiral Suite is the only platform for unified supply chain management of

hydrocarbons. Designed from the ground up to simplify, standardize and

accelerate feedstock management, trading, plant and network

optimization, scheduling and process unit monitoring. Spiral Suite’s

single source of knowledge allows enterprises to share and

communicate decisions between diverse teams, promoting collaboration

and discussion across global locations.
