The Platform

A single vendor for complete process control, from formulation to commissioning.

Process Simulation

Rigorous steady-state and dynamic process simulation with advanced thermodynamics, customizable unit operations, and seamless Excel integration.

Incompressible Flow Simulation

Create steady-state hydraulic models for liquid and low-velocity gas systems. Size pumps, pipes, and valves with validated pressure-drop calculations.

Compressible Flow Simulation

Simulate pressure drop and flow distribution for gas and steam piping systems. Analyze sonic choking, turbine gas delivery injection points and model non-ideal gases under varying operating conditions.

Surge & Transients

Identify and prevent water hammer, cavitation, and high-speed acoustic transients during startups, shutdowns, pump trips, or blowdowns.

Capital Costing: CHEMCAD-CLEOPATRA Integration

Connect simulation outputs directly to project cost estimating via Datacor's partnership with Cleopatra Enterprise — bridging engineering design and project economics.

Risk Analysis

Bring Monte Carlo simulation to project decision-making. Predict turbine and boiler reliability, evaluate renewable power integration and grid stability, and forecast ROI for new plants while considering effects of fuel price uncertainty on long-term revenue.

Relief Event Analysis & Sizing

FERST powered by CHEMCAD makes designing or evaluating existing relief systems simple and more rigorous. Design vapor (tempered), gassy (non‑tempered), hybrid (tempered with gas generation), and non-reactive fire exposure systems (API 520/521, API 2000, OSHA 1910.106, NFPA 30).

HOW WE HELP

Software built to design, verify, and maintain critical power generation systems

Nuclear Power

Nuclear-qualified flow simulation

Fathom, Arrow, and Impulse include Nuclear Validation packages with pre-developed Commercial Grade Dedications that adhere to 10-CFR-50 and ASME NQA-1 standards — giving nuclear engineers confidence that their fluid system models meet the most stringent regulatory requirements.
Nuclear Verification & Validation
Power-1 Power-1
Modern Generation

Steam-cycle & heat-integration optimization

Power generation engineers rely on CHEMCAD to model Rankine, combined-cycle, and cogeneration systems with precision. Conduct pinch analyses and turbine back-pressure studies to maximize net power output while reducing fuel consumption — all within a single, validated simulation environment.
