Honeywell launches UniSim Design Suite release 450

Oct. 7, 2016 – Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) has launched the UniSim Design Suite release 450, the newest version of its process modelling software to help industrial manufacturers “increase their engineering effectiveness and optimize their process designs.”

“Proven benefits of process modelling include up to 20 per cent improvements in engineering effectiveness through best-in-class workflow tools and capital expenditure savings of up to 30 per cent through appropriate material selection in safety system design,” says HPS. With UniSim Design Suite R450, it is now possible to model multi-phase pumps (MPPs) in steady-state and dynamics, to support the evolving technology for multiphase pressure boosting, it adds. The new release includes further enhancements to the UniSim Blowdown option, which allows for the sizing and rating of blowdown networks and the selection of appropriate construction materials, in compliance with the API 521 industry standards. The UniSim Flare product, used for the sizing and rating of new or existing flare systems from relief device to the flare tip, has been re-platformed and enhanced for “better performance, data visualization and reporting, and scenario automation.”
