Aspen Process Tools™

Software programs focused on solids and separation processes

Aspen Process Tools is a collection of software programs focused on solids and separations processes. It is based on over 25 years of experience with research and industrial applications by SPS (Separation Processes Service), WSHP (Wet Solids Handling Project) and EPC (Effluent Processing Club). Besides the chemical and process industries, it is applicable to the pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, minerals processing, and manufacturing sectors. Aspen Process Tools is a core element of AspenTech’s aspenONE™ Process Engineering applications.

Benefits

The simulation programs within Aspen Process Tools can be categorized into two major groups, providing significant benefits:

• Design tools: Rigorous modeling of theoretically complex unit operations used for equipment design, performance simulation, and experimental data analysis
• Decision-making tools: Expert systems and assistants for equipment selection and troubleshooting, providing help with problems that can’t be solved by conventional numerical simulation
