CHEMPUTE SOFTWARE - JULY 2000 NEWSLETTER 
========================================== 

NEW SOFTWARE RELEASES 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

TANK VERSION 2.1 
For design of API 650/653 oil storage tanks, this COADE software
has been updated to version 2.1 with the latest editions and  
addenda of the two API design codes.  Also included is API-2000  
tank venting calculations.  

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
CHEMCAD Process Flowsheet Simulator.  Used for process  
simulation, heat and mass balances, debottlenecking, and  
equipment design, a process flowsheet simulator is an essential  
tool for a chemical engineer.  CHEMCAD has been one of the  
world's leading simulators for over 12 years, and has comparable  
features to ASPEN, HYSIM, and PRO-II, but is much lower priced.  
With features such as solids handling, aqueous electrolyte  
systems, reactive distillation, VLE data regression etc, the  
program has found use not only in petrochemicals, but also in  
speciality chemicals, sugar, mining and power industries.  It  
has optional add-on modules for shell and tube heat exchanger  
design (CC-THERM), batch distillation (CC-BATCH), batch reactors  
(CC-REACS), and distillation column dynamics (CC-DCOLM).  

A free 30-day Chemcad evaluation is available to companies or to  
university head of departments.  This is normally supplied by  
way of a 26Mb file downloaded from the Internet.  Please contact  
us for details of where to find the file, and how to activate  
the 30-day trial period.  

ETAP POWERSTATION 3.0  
Powerstation 3.0 may be used to simulate electrical power supply  
systems in power stations, oil refineries, chemical plants,  
sugar mills, paper mills etc.  Some specific items include  
Harmonics, AC, DC and AC/DC Systems, Transformers, Short Circuit  
analysis, Motor Starting, Battery Sizing, Load shedding,  
One-Line diagrams etc.  This software is widely used  
internationally.   Also available is PSMS, a Power Station  
Management System software for Simultaneous Monitoring,  
Simulation, & Control and Real-Time Operation of System  
Components.  For more information on these software items,  
please contact Chempute Software.   

PIPE-FLO for PAPER STOCK  
This piping software is used to design, analyze, and  
troubleshoot piping systems used in pulp and paper mills. It  
uses the method outlined in TAPPI TIS 0410-414 to calculate the  
pressures and flow rates throughout the system; it shows the   
interaction of pipes, pumps, and controls in a paper stock  
piping system.  Pulp suspensions are categorized by built-in  
TAPPI coefficients, and consistency values.  More detailed  
information is available on request from Chempute Software.  


INTERESTING ENGINEERING WEBSITES  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
For those needing to selet an elastomeric seal that is  
compatible with a particulr chemical, the following DOW/DUPONT  
site has chemical resistance information for common elastomers:

FREE SOFTWARE CORNER  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
Of interest to Internet browsers, the free CHEMOFFICE 5.0 NET  
PLUGIN comprises separate browser plug-ins for CHEMDRAW and  
CHEM3D.  The Chemdraw plug-in allows one to use chemical  
structures or substructures to search internet databases,  
publish chemical structures on the internet, or share drawings  
of chemical structures with colleagues on company Intranets.  
It  can be used to find the supplier of a particular chemical, and  
allow the user to purchase the chemical on-line, or view MSDS's  
or other information provided on sites such as  
http://www.chemfinder.com.  The Chem3D plug-in allows one to  
view three dimensional models  of chemical structures on the  
Internet, and also to manipulate these images in various ways.
