gPROMS is now the leading modelling product within the process industries

Dr Geoffrey Robinson FREng, Royal Academy of Engineering


PSE develops and markets gPROMS®, the world's leading process modelling environment, and the gPROMS family of related products.

gPROMS is widely used throughout the process industries to accelerate innovation, manage risk and optimise design and operation of processes and products through the application of high-fidelity predictive models.

The gPROMS family of products includes three main categories: modelling technology, model content and packaged solutions.

gPROMS

the world's leading advanced process modelling tool

gPROMS modelling concepts

Most gPROMS modelling involves the application of first-principles process models fitted to laboratory, plant and operating data to generate high-quality information for decision support. Read more about the underlying concepts of gPROMS modelling.

Process modelling, simulation and optimisation software

  • gPROMS ModelBuilder – for constructing, validating (against data), executing and maintaining high-fidelity process models. ModelBuilder provides advanced custom modeling capabilities within a process flowsheeting environment.
    • Advanced Model Library for Fixed-Bed Catalytic Reaction

    AML for Fixed-Bed Catalytic Reaction(AML:FBCR)

    Advanced Model Library for Gas-Liquid Contactors

    AML for Gas-Liquid Contactors(AML:GLC)

    Advanced Model Library for Solution Crystallisation

    AML for Solution Crystallisation (AML:SC)

  • The gPROMS Objects – software objects for executing gPROMS models within engineering software environments such as Aspen PlusTM, PRO/II®, MATLAB® Simulink®, FLUENT® and STAR-CD®.
  • gSAFT advanced thermodynamics properties for associating fluids and high-molecular-weight components.
  • The gPROMS options – physical properties, hybrid gPROMS-CFD interface tools and more.

Model content

PSE provides some of the world's most sophisticated process models for all types of reaction, separation and solids processes such as crystallisation:

  • gPROMS Advanced Model Libraries – high-fidelity process models for reaction, gas-liquid separation, solids processing, pressure relief, fuel cells and many more.
  • Many other sophisticated models for processes as diverse as waste pyrolysis, polymers, polysilicon manufacture and more.

The gPROMS-based products are a range of specialist packaged products aimed at engineers and researchers involved in specific domain areas.

In each case the product delivers capabilities well beyond the current state-of-the-art, to provide a step-change in the capabilties available .

  • gPROMS Flare – state-of-the-art flare system and blowdown/depressurisation modellling environment.
  • gPROMS Solids – an integrated environment for model-based engineering of solids processes.
  • gPROMS Fuel Cell – high-fidelity predictive modelling of fuel cell, stack and system.

Apart from their industry-leading model content, the unique advantage of these products is that they are built on the gPROMS modelling and solution engine.

This means that the same model can be exploited in many different modes – for example, steady-state and dynamic simulation and optimisation. In addition the packages can draw on all the power of the gPROMS equation-oriented modelling platform and graphical user environment.
