Specify equipment details for reactors, columns, and heat exchangers.
The software supports comprehensive equipment sizing for heat exchangers, vessels, piping and valves, pumps, safety relief devices, and column trays and packing. Built-in costing tools enable engineers to estimate equipment CAPEX and run multi-scenario economic models covering NPV, IRR, and ROI. Monte Carlo sensitivity analysis helps teams understand risk under uncertain feedstock pricing or market conditions.
As the chemical industry shifts toward biochemicals, water treatment, and advanced materials, the need for complex chemistry modeling has grown. CHEMCAD NXT offers upgraded electrolyte models to handle salt precipitation, pH calculations, and acid gas scrubbing, alongside enhanced polymer kinetics for plastics manufacturing. Industrial Applications
Safety is paramount in chemical engineering. CC-SAFETY NET handles the design and rating of piping networks and safety relief devices or systems, enabling engineers to perform rigorous safety relief system sizing, hazard analysis, and environmental impact assessments.
Scaling up batch reactor kinetics, optimizing solvent recovery systems, and designing crystallization processes.
Advanced sizing and rating of distillation towers (tray-by-tray analysis). Reactors: Batch, CSTR, PFR, and equilibrium reactors.
Ideal for simulating batch distillation, batch reactors, and semi-continuous operations common in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. 3. Thermophysical Properties and Thermodynamics
The roots of CHEMCAD trace back to 1967, when the software was originally developed with US Navy funding under the name CHESS (Chemical Engineering Simulation System) at the University of Houston, as part of a US government-sponsored project to develop process simulation software for synthetic fuels. This early foundation laid the groundwork for what would become one of the most trusted names in chemical process simulation.
Modeling crude distillation units, gas sweetening processes, and hydrocarbon separation.
CHEMCAD NXT is an integrated suite of intuitive chemical process simulation software that fits seamlessly into the chemical engineering workflow and supercharges an engineer‘s efficiency. It is an all-in-one process simulation platform with more than 40 years of development history, designed to help engineers model, validate, and optimize chemical processes from simple laboratory-scale experiments to complex full-scale industrial operations.
The foundation of the suite. It is used for steady-state simulations of continuous processes, including mass and energy balances, flowsheet design, and equipment sizing.
While ChemCAD NXT is primarily steady-state, it includes a fully integrated dynamic simulation module called . This allows engineers to take a converged steady-state model and immediately analyze its transient behavior. Use cases include:
