Advanced thermodynamics
Our Multiflash fluid property engine underpins the pipeline and simulation tools of the entire hydrocarbon industry. Due to its scope and accuracy it is also the chosen package for the world’s leading petrochemicals and fine chemicals producers. A comprehensive PVT (pressure, volume, temperature) and physical properties package, it allows for complete modeling of the phase behavior of complex mixtures and pure substances. Multiflash plugs conveniently into a range of applications, and seamlessly integrates with our other simulation tools.
Benefits
Providing a simple solution to an extremely complex problem
Multiflash's superior equations of state and fluid models allow fast and reliable assessment of options and potential risks. Multiflash can model any phase, and any number of phases, as well as track the partitioning of potentially damaging substances.
Inhibition or mitigation strategies for potential flow assurance issues can easily be compared in terms of effectiveness and compatibility against the plant’s current, past or planned operating point. Through the many interfaces available in Multiflash, you can easily set up a model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a proposed solution, to size equipment, to simulate processes or perform scenario analyses.
