When handling processes involving solids, it is often difficult to balance equipment performance and operating conditions with product quality. By applying Aspen Plus to manage these key processing steps, take advantage of rigorous solids handling in a flowsheet to more easily deliver consistent quality of solids. Watch now to learn more.

Leveraging process modeling tools is vital for accelerating the journey to market for new products, or for optimizing the margins of existing processes.

Learn how modeling crystallization processes in Aspen Plus® enables your organization to quickly deliver solids without the need for tedious trial-and-error experimentation.

Accurately modeling the solids section of a process is critical to product quality. Commonly, the solid and fluid sections of a process are modeled separately, making troubleshooting and optimizing inefficient and time-consuming. Additionally, solids are described by distributed properties rather than concentrated properties, which adds an extra level of complexity. These difficulties often lead to neglected or over-simplified solids modeling.
