Abstract

SimuSage is an innovative software tool for process simulation and flowsheeting tasks. Based on ChemApp and its rigorous Gibbs energy minimizing technique, it provides a library of components for the development of highly customized process simulation models. The SimuSage concept is described, and a number of examples from typical application areas such as metallurgy, combustion technology, and other industrial high-temperature processes involving inorganic chemistry are introduced.

Keywords: Thermochemistry; Gibbs energy minimization; Process simulation; Flowsheeting; Computer aided process engineering
