gPROMS Academic Products

The following gPROMS products are available to bona fide academic institutions at highly discounted rates:

• gPROMS ModelBuilder
  

  gPROMS ModelBuilder combines custom modelling capabilities with a process flowsheeting environment to provide the process industries' most powerful advanced process modelling tool. ModelBuilder is used to build, validate, execute and deploy steady-state and dynamic process models of any complexity.

• gPROMS Process
  

  gPROMS Process is an Advanced Process Simulator – which includes many capabilities such as drag & drop flowsheeting, model libraries, steady-state and dynamic simulation, rigorous physical properties with comprehensive component data, and so on.

• gPROMS FormulatedProducts
  

  gPROMS FormulatedProducts is PSE's newly-launched modelling platform for the integrated digital design of robust formulated products and their manufacturing processes. 

• gCCS
  

  gCCS is a system modelling tool for support of design and operating decisions across the CCS chain. It contains steady-state and dynamic models of all major CCS operations, from power generation through capture, compression, transmission to injection.

gPROMS Platform Components

The gPROMS platform provides drag & drop flowsheeting, first-principles custom modelling, parameter estimation, physical properties integration powerful optimisation capabilities that allow direct calculation of optimal solutions rather than by trial-and-error simulation, plus many other features.

• Export to gPROMS Objects : Export models in encrypted form for use with gPROMS Objects (e.g. gO:RUN)
• gPROMS High Performance Computing : Enable the use of multiple processors for parallel execution 

Model Libraries

The gPROMS Model Libraries include all the common unit operations for chemicals and petrochemicals – for example, compressors, heat exchangers and distillation columns. In addition to unit and control models that go well beyond those found in traditional simulators: for example kinetic reactors, adsorption beds, membranes and control and signal elements.
