KBC releases Petro-SIM Express

Posted: 15 June 2006

The latest addition to KBC’s software solutions, Petro-SIM Express, is an affordable alternative for process simulation.

Petro-SIM Express can be used for improving unit throughput, monitoring, debottlenecking, capital expenditure evaluation, and process design for refining and petrochemical facilities.

Petro-SIM Express includes a proven set of tools for process simulation: over 25 thermodynamic property packages, over 1000 components and a comprehensive suite of standard unit operations, logic models, and calculation tools.

For easy setup, fast calculations, and quick data access, Petro-SIM Express features a graphical interface, built-in plots, and an interactive calculation engine.

Petro-SIM Express is compatible with KBC’s groundbreaking Petro-SIM flowsheet, and it can read files created in other process simulators, maximizing your investment in simulation.

One feature available only in Petro-SIM and Petro-SIM Express is KBC’s best-in-class refinery oil characterization package, proven in modelling over 120 refineries world-wide.

The package has the capability to manage in-house assay information, as well as access the world-renowned BP assay data through KBC’s crude assay database (CADB).

Over 100 refinery-based properties are available, many of which are only obtainable from KBC.

KBC’s Hydrodesulfurization reactor model is included within this new version of the program.

Petro-SIM Express can also be easily upgraded to include any of the world-leading KBC Profimatics SIM Suite of reactor models for catalytic reforming, fluid cat cracking, alkylation, coking, visbreaking, hydrocracking, and hydrotreating, or upgraded to Petro-SIM for multi-unit modelling or refinery-wide optimisation.

Our dedicated team of experienced software professionals, which includes refinery technology experts, innovative software developers, and customer-focused support staff, are focused on providing the most powerful yet user-friendly software for improving the profits of the refining and chemical processing industries.
