Process simulation lets you prove new ideas, identify problems, examine unit responses and truly understand your process at a detailed level or site-wide. KBC's Petro-SIM family of process simulation software lets you model your facility like no other simulator, and extends to easily integrate with other systems.

Petro-SIM™ and Petro-SIM Express™ are our fully-featured process simulators, featuring KBC technology and proven process models. Both include general-purpose unit operations, an extensive component library, a range of thermodynamics packages, and innovative methods to fully integrate the software with plant information systems, databases, Microsoft Excel^®, and the LP. Petro-SIM and Petro-SIM Express allow you to link any of the reactors in our comprehensive SIM Suite.

For refinery simulation, Petro-SIM and Petro-SIM Express lead the industry. They include unique features found in no other simulator and are available at no additional charge. They are the only process simulators to include detailed crude assay management technology and contain KBC's unique DISTOP technology for crude/vacuum units and other complex distillation columns. With its range of SIM reactor models, the Petro-SIM platform has set the industry standard for linear program (LP) table generation. The stream characterisation methods for Petro-SIM and Petro-SIM Express manages and calculates refinery-specific properties including octane, pour point, asphaltene content and over 150 more properties. Petro-SIM includes a product blending module that produces on-spec products and minimises give-away. With Petro-SIM and the appropriate SIM models for your refinery, you can produce a detailed model of refineries from feed to products like no other commercial software, giving true valuation of operations with actual feed and product pricing. Petro-SIM and Petro-SIM Express are the only process simulators that fully integrate all SIM Suite models.

For other industries, KBC's innovative process simulation techniques extend into petrochemicals and gas/LNG. Ease of use features include a custom knowledge base, Excel report generator, database connections and the ability to integrate in you choice of specialised SIM models, including Olefin-SIM, AROM-SIM and REF-SIM.

Petro-SIM Express is ideally suited to modelling Gas NGL processing.User-driven enhancements like database interaction, built in monitoring tools and custom knowledge base extend into all industries and beyond.
