SuperChemsTM Overview
Product Information
 SuperChems™
Expert is a versatile software tool that provides an integrated platform
for:
-
Pressure Relief and Flare Systems Evaluation
-
Risk Based Inspection
-
Facility Siting
-
Fixed Facilities and Pipelines Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA)
-
Chemical Reactivity Management
-
Fault Tree and SIS/SIL Analysis with ioLOGIC™
-
Consequence Analysis
SuperChems™ Expert offers a variety of well validated models
for single/multi-phase reacting flow, dispersion analysis, droplet dynamics,
fire, and explosion dynamics. All models in SuperChems™ are
true multi-component models with support for petroleum fractions and mixture
toxicity.
In addition, SuperChems™ provides several power productivity
tools including:
-
Advanced Reporting and Data Lifecycle Management with ioXpress™
-
Failure Rates Database
-
Thermodynamic and Physical Properties Database for more than 2800 Components
with Complete Property Estimation Tools
-
Reactivity Expert
As an equation-of-state-based program, SuperChems™ provides
several benefits over existing non-equation-of-state-based methods for systems
involving:
-
Reactions with Supercritical Components
-
Solution Effects
-
A Prioritized Determination of Phase Splitting
SuperChems™ is available in two editions: DIERS and Expert.
Its powerful engine has a proven record of handling numerous complex and
unconventional systems that are not readily provided by other tools.
SuperChems™ for DIERS edition
was particularly created for the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems
(DIERS) user group within the AIChE. Implementing DIERS
two-phase technology empowered by SuperChems™ solid
engine, SuperChems™ for DIERS is currently adopted as an
industry standard tool for handling complex reactions systems and designing
practical relief systems.
The QRA module was the major addition to SuperChems™.
Users now have a full-blown QRA engine to define population; analyze failure
frequencies; assess dependent failures; generate iso-risk contours; construct
F-N curves; and perform consequence modeling, all within a central application.
All consequence models are linked directly to user-defined site map with
enhanced graphics, contours, and plots.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
 SuperChems™ runs
on any Windows-compatible machine running Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT,
Windows 2000, Windows XP , or Windows Vista. It requires about 150 MB of
hard-drive space. SuperChems™ does intensive calculations and
thus requires a machine with a clock speed of 1 GHz. We, however, recommend a
machine with a clock speed of at least 3 GHz.
We are committed to helping our clients achieve maximum operational
effectiveness, profit protection, and business value through innovative and
technically rigorous approaches to process safety design.
