Summary of the new Features
1. Flowsheet Module
- Four different modes (Particles, Reaction, Distribution and Experimental), new Table object, new Page and Layer properties, more robust controls, new Excel Wizards, Mass Balancing and Data Reconciliation routine
2. New Unit Icon Library with 515 Icons
- The unit process icon database was made in cooperation with industrial designers and process engineers. These may be used to visualize process flowsheets.
3. New Add-In Functions
- StreamSM, StreamGM, StreamEQA, StreamXArray, RecoveryXArray, ProgenyStream, ComminutionProductPSD, CubicSpline, ERF.
4. Updated Balance Module
- Automatic entropy (T * S) and Gibbs energy (G) balance calculations were added.
5. Updated Equilibrium Module
- A more robust Gibbs Energy Minimization routine.
6. Updated MW Module with new H, S and Cp Estimates
- Even the original H, S and Cp data sources may contain errors and typos, so the new estimation routine may be used to identify these errors.
7. New Aqueous Solution Property Estimator
- This module estimates non-ideal electrolyte solution properties like activity coefficients and enthalpies. These may be used in Equilibrium module or in process models.
8. Updated H, S and Cp Database
- More than 4000 new species were added and data of 4700 species were updated. The total number of species is now more than 25000.
9. Updated Mineralogical Database
- The number of minerals has been increased from 3581 to 13346 minerals.
10. Updated Help Module
- The new Help module is more robust and has access to unit model help files.
11. Windows Vista, Vista 64 and Windows 7 Support
