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.
PROAN® incorporates novel built-in functions for the evaluation and optimization of chemical processes, including:
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.
