Process Simulation and Optimization

The Process Simulation and Optimization market research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast.  It is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.

Process Simulation and Optimization Market Driven by Demand for Sustainability

According to ARC research, the market for process simulation and optimization software is growing because of the need for sustainability. Industrial organizations have to consider many factors at the same time and include carbon intensity in their design and operations to improve their processes and businesses. Successful simulation software companies combine different disciplines and viewpoints to optimize design and operations. By using a good engineering process and working across different teams, industrial manufacturers can use an integrated, "sustainability" approach to engineering design and optimization.

Process Simulation and Optimization Strategic Issues

Process Simulation and OptimizationIn addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Process Simulation market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

R&D and Process Development

Develop the optimal process by quickly evaluating process development options with stakeholders using integrated batch and continuous process modeling. For faster time-to-market with shared models, accelerate and scale-up collaboration across sites and functional groups.

Update Advanced Process Control Models

Control engineers can collaborate with process engineers to leverage existing simulation models based on actual operating conditions; faster deployment for new APC units, reduced operational risks, and less impact on production.

Develop Energy Transition Strategy to Achieve Corporate Sustainability Targets

Explore strategic sustainability options to achieve corporate carbon reduction target using a combination of energy efficiency improvements and carbon reduction strategies with integrated modeling and economic analysis of carbon capture, alternative fuels such as bio-fuels, and evaluate new processes—technologies such as green hydrogen. Optimized options to enable strategic roadmap development to achieve corporate sustainability target(s).

Improve Operations with Digital Twin

Easily deploy process models for operations decision making with streamlined data conditioning and model calibration. Hybrid models reduce the barrier to model creation, deployment, and sustainment. Reduced operating costs improve margins and increase asset reliability and sustainability.
