built for the petrochemical industry

Datacor delivers business automation and simulation tools designed to meet the unique challenges of petrochemical manufacturing.

CHEMCAD

Modern chemical process simulation software designed with the engineer's workflow in mind to help efficiently identify innovative solutions.

Fathom

Calculate steady-state hydraulic pressure drop and pipe flow distribution in liquid and low-velocity gas piping and ducting systems.

Arrow

Determine the pressure drop and flow distribution, analyze sonic choking, and model real gases in steady-state gas and steam piping systems.

Impulse

Analyze pumping systems for harmful pressure surge transients caused by water hammer.

xStream

Analyze high-speed, acoustic transients that occur in steam and gas piping systems.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Unified command center connecting inventory, production, quality, finance, and compliance in a single source of truth.

Optimize separation, conversion, and heat integration

Build rigorous steady-state and dynamic models of multi-column fractionators, reactor networks, and heat-exchanger bundles to confirm yields, energy balance, and control logic before committing capital.
Petrochemical-1 Petrochemical-1

Evaluate steady-state flows

Calculate pump head requirements, pressure drops, line-size, and network balancing across complex feed, product, and recycle loops to confirm hydraulics before construction.
Model Pumping Systems
Petrochemical-2 Petrochemical-2

Simulate compressible gas performance

Model sonic velocities, choke points, and relief-header dynamics in boil-off, flare, and vent systems to size regulators and piping per API and ASME standards.
Model Your Gas Systems
Petrochemical-3 Petrochemical-3

Analyze transient surge

Track pressure waves from valve closures, pump trips, and flashing columns to verify surge relief vessel sizing and valve sequencing under emergency conditions.
Predict Water Hammer
Petrochemical-4 Petrochemical-4

Model steam hammer

Simulate boiler output, header pressure drops, flash-steam recirculation, and condensate return to optimize utility loads and ensure reliable process-heat supply.
Model Your Steam System
Petrochemical-5 Petrochemical-5

Integrate production and business operations

Connect plant-floor data with procurement, inventory, and sales to streamline production planning, track raw material costs, and ensure regulatory compliance. Gain real-time visibility across your petrochemical operations to reduce downtime, optimize supply chains, and increase profitability.
