Axens partners with Invensys Operations Management on chemical process simulator
Invensys Operations Management, a global provider of technology systems, software solutions and consulting services to the manufacturing and infrastructure operations industries, today announced that it has entered into a partnership with Axens, an international provider of technologies, products and services to the refining, petrochemical, gas and alternative fuels markets.
Under the terms of the agreement, Axens, based in Rueil-Malmaison, France, will become a sub-licensor of Invensys Operations Management’s SimSci-Esscor PRO/II software, a steady-state process simulator used to design, analyze and improve chemical processes.
“This partnership will reinforce our presence in the worldwide petrochemical and refining industries, providing users of Axens’ web-based process operations simulator solution - webPOS - with the highest level of optimized technology,” said Tobias Scheele, vice president of advanced applications for Invensys Operations Management.
“As partners, Axens will embed our PRO/II simulation software into its customized webPOS, outfitting it for steady-state simulation that will help customers achieve productivity excellence.”
Invensys Operations Management’s PRO/II software will be delivered within the framework of the Axens webPOS, which provides operations and process engineers the tools needed to perform several functions, including off-line engineering studies to monitor the impact of operating variables and feed quality on product yields and qualities; evaluating bottlenecks for new feedstock or new product quality requirements; and making strategic and operational decisions regarding production and product distribution.
The interface can be accessed through any internet browser, eliminating the need for installation on customers’ equipment and ensuring that the webPOS solution is continually updated.
