Simulation and optimization
Advanced thermodynamics
Multiflash, KBC’s advanced thermodynamics software and fluid property engine underpins the pipeline and simulation tools of the entire hydrocarbon industry. Due to the scope and accuracy of our thermodynamic modeling software, 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. Unlike other advanced thermodynamics software, Multiflash also conveniently plugs into a range of applications, and seamlessly integrates with our other simulation tools.
Choose Multiflash
Our thermodynamics simulation software provides 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.
With our advanced thermodynamics software inhibition or mitigation strategies for potential flow assurance issues can easily be compared in terms of effectiveness and compatibility against your 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 then accurately size equipment, simulate processes or perform scenario analyses.
