Success Stories
Radiant Heat (FABRICATOR) Reduced engineering man hours by 75% through design optimization and integration of thermal and mechanical designs Petrofac Engineering (E&C) Increased plant capacity by 20%, a $100MM revamp Integrated rigorous HX designs into HYSYS increasing the accuracy of the flowsheet and resulting in a one month payback period

Dow Chemical (OWNER /OPERATOR)

Used a EDR with Aspen Plus to eliminate oscillations in column flow resulting in:
Increased column capacity by 13% Increased capacity by $65 Million
