“As a result of the CHEMCAD simulation . . . we increased the capacity (of Udex, Sulfolane, & NMP processes) by 30-50% with a total investment of $1-1.5M.”

— Zvi Merchav, Principal, Merchav Engineering

“The one completed new plant is operating successfully. Because of the simulation model, it employs two columns in a distillation train that uses three in an older facility. This led to a capital cost savings of $250,000 for a single project.”

— Tony Nocera, Great Lakes Chemicals (now Chemtura)

“With CHEMCAD, it is unbelievable that I can accomplish in a day what used to take two or three weeks . . . Increasing capacity is the most important part of this project. By removing the stripper bottleneck, the combined annual steam and electrical savings are $320,000/year.”

— Terry Funkhauser, Texas Petrochemicals

“With a single CHEMCAD model using CC-THERM fouling factor calculations, utility costs were reduced 10% ($12,000/mo).”

— Firestone Polymers

“A pipe fouling issue had plagued the feed to a particular distillation . . . it was decided to look at a simulation of the column on CHEMCAD . . . As a result, $120,000/year of steam was saved.”
