Pharmaceutical

Simulate. Validate. Scale.

Datacor’s data-driven modeling and simulation solutions help drug manufacturers reduce risk, optimize yield, and maintain regulatory control from early-stage formulation through full-scale GMP production.

Engineering Simulation Tools

Design and troubleshoot multiple levels of your engineering projects with Datacor’s suite of simulation software.

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.

How we help

35+ years of experience working with leaders in R&D, engineering, and supply chain

Run end-to-end hydraulic models before equipment arrives.

With hydraulic solvers and thermodynamic packages, engineers construct complete digital twins of water-for-injection, clean-steam, and buffer-prep loops. The models reveal pressure drops, temperature change, and flow imbalance across all modes, allowing pump selection and pipe sizing to be confirmed during front-end loading.

Model batch and semi-batch reactions in minutes.

CHEMCAD’s reactor models help engineers fit lab data and test feed strategies to find optimal temperature profiles and reduce waste before operation.

Flexible modeling supports lab-to-plant transition.

Using flexible component modeling and thermophysical data, evaluate processes with non-standard components for smoother lab-to-plant transitions.

Rigorous distillation models cut solvent loss.

Guided by predictive VLE and energy modeling, engineers balance reflux and recovery demands to maximize solvent yield within project cost constraints.

Verify jacket duty under worst-case scenarios.

Utilize time-dependent energy balances to predict temperature ramps, condensate loads, and control-valve positions. This enables scale-up to confirm that existing utilities prevent hotspot formation during exothermic stages.

Safety Relief Sizing

Calculate vent areas for safe pressure relief.

CHEMCAD’s two-phase flow and gas-vent models determine choked flow rates, backpressure, and required orifice sizes, producing auditable reports that support HAZOP and regulatory filings.
