Software to minimize environmental impacts Process Analyzer (PROAN®)
Description
PROAN® is a user friendly software for process engineers and researchers in process economics and sustainability assessment. By linking to process simulators such as Aspen HYSYS, it provides a simple platform to quantify environmental impacts of any chemical process, identify the most important environmental contributors, and perform techno-econo-environmental optimizations. A key aspect of PROAN® that distinguishes it from other alternatives on the market is that it not only evaluates the environmental impact of processes, but also facilitates its minimization.
Advantages and Innovations
PROAN® incorporates novel built-in functions for the evaluation and optimization of chemical processes, including:
- Process environmental analysis and LCA.
- Minimization of environmental impacts of chemical processes.
- Process energy analysis.
- Minimization of energy and utility requirements of chemical processes.
- Process economic evaluation.
- Minimization of total annualized costs.
- Maximization of net present value.
- Maximization of production rate.
- Sensitivity analysis function.
Market applications
Natural gas or other fuels combined cycle power plants, CO2 and H2S capture units, production plants of methanol, ammonia, furfural, formaldehyde, styrene monomer or dimethylether, gas transmission systems, air separation units, cold box units for syngas separation, etc.
