Honeywell’s UniSim® Design Suite is an intuitive process modeling software that helps engineers create steady-state and dynamic models for plant design, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, business planning, and asset management.
The latest release of UniSim Design Suite, which expands capabilities for effective engineering and process design, is now available. It offers new features for improved safety and heat-exchanger design, rating and simulation. In addition, it offers support for flow assurance and sub-sea operations, and refining applications.
What Is It?
UniSim Design Suite is a powerful process modeling software that provides steady state and dynamic process simulation in an integrated environment. It provides powerful tools to help engineers evolve process optimization designs with lower project risks, prior to committing to capital expenditures. Major use cases in process modeling using UniSim Design Suite include:
Process flowsheet development
Utilizing case scenarios tool to optimize designs against business criteria
Equipment rating across a broad range of operating conditions
Evaluating the effect of feed changes, upsets and alternate operations on process safety, reliability and profitability
Accurately size and select the appropriate material for blowdown systems
nitoring equipment performance against operating objectives.
How Does It Work?
UniSim Design offers the following features:
Easy-to-Use Windows Environment: UniSim Design provides a clear and concise graphical representation of the process flowsheets, including productivity features such as cut, copy, paste, auto connection and organizing large cases into sub-flowsheets.
Comprehensive Thermodynamics and Unit Operation Models: UniSim Design supports process modeling of distillation, reaction, heat transfer, rotating equipment and logical operations in both steady-state and dynamic environments. These models are proven to deliver quality realistic results and handle various situations such as vessel emptying or overflowing and reverse flow.
Active X (OLE Automation) Compliance: Permits the integration of user-created unit operations, proprietary reaction kinetic expressions and specialized property packages and interfaces easily with programs such as Microsoft® Excel® and Visual Basic®
What Problems Does It Solve?
With UniSim Design, users achieve
Optimized designs (lower CAPEX and/or OPEX), resulting from the accuracy of prediction, embedded industry standards, and open architecture to link to specialist 3rd party tools and customer's IP
Increased engineering effectiveness (productivity and efficiency) by up to 30%, through the availability of productivity tools, implementation of best practices and attention to workflows
Lower total cost of ownership throughout a project or plant asset lifecycle, with the creation, re-use, and updating of the same models on a single software platform
Faster startups and smoother operation for plant assets, resulting in earlier profits, through tested and improved operational procedures
Increased safety of operation resulting from safety system design and HAZOP studies
Delivery of high-value services and operational knowledge transfer by process technology licensors, as they can develop and protect their IP with the UniSim Design simulation platform.
