What's New in ProMax 7.0
A major release packed with new tools, expanded capabilities, quality of life improvements, and performance enhancements.
Data Exchange: Real-Time Connectivity
The Data Exchange component enables ProMax to directly link with databases such as:
- PI
- OPC-HDA
- ODBC-compatible databases
- Microsoft Excel
- Custom data solutions
The purpose of this feature is to make a digital twin of your actual facility,
allowing real-time predictions of your operations, allowing operators to keep
everything on track, empowering them with information to make the right
decisions during troubleshooting, and allowing engineers to dig deep to figure
out where bottlenecks are and where they can optimize operations further.
New enhancements include:
- Parallel import/export for dramatically faster data handling
- Configurable Past Run Folder for automated file storage at the end of execution
New & Enhanced Modeling Tools
Depressurization Block: used to size a relief valve for a
vessel to safely depressurize in the event of a hazardous
event (e.g. fire). Also useful for certain operations that
involve deinventorying a vessel or pipe for maintenance
purposes. The new version offers a modern replacement
for the Property Stencil, offering improved functionality
and ease of use.
Adsorber Block: These beds are used to virtually remove all
contaminants or undesirable compounds from something we’d
like to process further. A common example is removing all
humidity from a gas to ensure ice doesn’t form when we try
to cool it down below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The new update
now features bed definition, rating capabilities, and
adsorption isotherms for more robust adsorption
modeling.
New Analyses
- Corrosion: Used to predict the corrosion rate
which helps inform the user if they need to make
the equipment thicker to survive longer, or to tweak
the operations to make it less corrosive
- Liquid Spill Emissions: In the event of a spill, this
tool assists in estimating the evaporation rate
and consequent emissions, essential for
compliance with environmental regulations.
- And More!
Control Valve Selector Tool: Available in both the
valve block and analysis environments to streamline
valve selection with easy filter-able lists to figure
out what size fits the best.
Optimization Tool: Smarter, Faster, More Flexible
The Optimization Tool empowers users to:
- Define objective functions using ProMax properties, Excel cells, or mathematical expressions
- Adjust multiple variables to locate local minima or maxima
- Integrate seamlessly with Data Exchange for dynamic, data driven optimization workflows
New improvements include:
- Additional tools for rearranging variables and constraints
- A “hold” function for easier model setup
- Descriptions for constraints to improve clarity and documentation
New Solvent Packages
ProMax 7.0 expands its solvent library with:
- Huntsman JEFFTREAT® MP
- Evonik CAPLUS®
Pipeline Network Solver Tool
A dedicated tool designed to simplify the creation of pipeline solvers
and specifiers, improving workflow efficiency for pipeline modeling. This
tool allows you to give the system high level goals and the tool will
automatically calculate everything else.
Solver
Solver progress can now be plotted to aid in
diagnosing convergence issues.
Separator Rating
This new update allows ProMax to test if a vessel is
the right size for the job in addition to sizing it from
scratch.
