Tools

Alanda

Alanda aims at providing an open platform which easily connects various data sources (e.g. files in various format, DCS, OPC servers, PIMS) to an open library of algorithms for data analysis. At this time, Alanda easily permits tuning of compression parameters for PIMS and detection of steady states (e.g. for parameter estimation or data reconciliation).

Peaxact

Peaxact supports model development for spectroscopy using a method called indirect hard modeling (IHM). IHM uses physical insight and is applicable in cases where blac-box methods such as PLS are difficult to calibrate (e.g. few calibration samples available, reactive systems) or even impossible to use due to strong nonlinearities (such as peak shift, base line tilt).

MOVE

MOVE provides quick access to a large number of mathematical models built for chemical processes and plants through a web-based library. Models can be browsed by chemical substances, simulators, business units and other categories.

Insynto

The integrated synthesis toolbox. Insynto integrateds different shortcut methods for process synthesis. Beside basic thermodynamic analysis algorithms like azeotrope calculation, pressure-liquid-boiling diagrams and residue curves, it integrates methods for feasibility analysis of separations and the calculation of minimum energy demands. Within this project, we cooperate with well known research groups at RWTH Aachen University and University of Kaiserslautern as well as with global players in chemical industry.

WOMS plus

WOMS plus is an easy to use editor for work process models. Internally, the tool builds an semantic technologies to support advanced features like automatic model checks and model export.
