ntelligen's simulation and design tools (SuperPro and EnviroPro Designer) facilitate the following tasks in a variety of industries:
Simulation of Batch and Continuous Processes
Scheduling of Batch Operations
Tracking of Resource Demand and Inventories
Cost Analysis
Cycle Time Reduction and Debottlenecking
Environmental Impact Assessment
Water Purification and Recycling
Wastewater Treatment
Air Pollution Control
SuperPro Designer is the most widely used simulator by pharmaceutical, biotech, specialty chemical, food, consumer product, mineral processing, and related companies. SuperPro also handles water purification, wastewater treatment, and air pollution control processes. More than 350 companies around the world have already included SuperPro in their arsenal of everyday tools. Click here for a partial list of current industrial users.
SuperPro is also a popular teaching tool. It is already in use at more than 400 colleges and universities around the world. Click here for a partial list of current academic users. SuperPro Designer strengthens the teaching of the following courses:
* Biochemical Engineering
* Process and Plant Design
* Pharmaceutical Engineering
* Food Engineering
* Unit Operations
* Introduction to Chemical Engineering
as well as
* Wastewater Treatment
* Water Purification and
* Air Pollution Control
SuperPro Designer equips chemical engineering students with skills that are useful in the growth sectors of the CPI (e.g., biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, etc.). For civil and environmental engineering students, SuperPro is useful in emphasizing the value of 'systems approach' in the design and evaluation of integrated water purification, wastewater treatment, and air pollution control processes.
The rest of this page provides a brief description of the key features of SuperPro Designer. For more detailed information, please download the brochure and presentation documents and the manuals of the demo and full versions of SuperPro. And if you wish to test-drive the new version, you are just a click away from the functional Evaluation and Demo versions.
Simulation of Batch and Continuous Processes
SuperPro Designer (as well as its subset, EnviroPro) is the only commercial process simulator that can handle equally well continuous and batch processes as well as combinations of batch and continuous. The Full as well as the Evaluation and Demo versions of SuperPro are shipped with several examples of both kinds. For instance, there are several environmental examples (that deal that with wastewater treatment, purification, and recycling) that are continuous processes with multiple nested recycle loops. The biotech and pharmaceutical examples, on the other hand, deal with batch processes, which is the dominant mode of operation in those industries.
Graphical Interface
All of our tools feature intuitive and user friendly interfaces that speak the language of process engineers. The user models a process by developing a flow diagram (see figure below). The equipment-looking icons represent unit operations for continuous processes and unit procedures for batch processes.
Despite the many new features and capabilities in version 4.7, all members of the Pro-Designer family (BatchPro, BioPro, EnviroPro, and SuperPro) have maintained their intuitive and user friendly interface (see figure below). In this environment, developing a process flowsheet or modifying values is as easy as point–and–click. The interface is very similar to other MS Windows applications, making its features very intuitive.
