Release of PRO/II 9.2.1. PRO/II now integrates with Spiral CrudeSuite

I am pleased to announce that PRO/II 9.2 patch 1 is now available for download from the Software Updates & Knowledge Base page.

Here is a quick overview of the new features that are now available in addition to several defect fixes:

• Enhanced Run Unavailable Window
• Exclude Include Block diagrams
• Open File in Original Version
• Update icons in Menus and Toolbar

However, the most important feature just may be Spiral CrudeSuite 5.5.1 integration to PRO/II. This integration allows Spiral CrudesSuite assay data to be used directly in PRO/II. While engineers typically seek out the most accurate and up to date feed information for their simulations, this integration makes that whole process much easier by eliminating data entry and replacing it with seamless integration.

About PRO/II: PRO/II is the major product in the Process Engineering Suite (PES). This process simulation software optimizes plant performance by improving process design, operational analysis, and performing engineering studies. It is designed to perform rigorous heat and material balance calculations for a wide range of chemical processes. PRO/II allows users to evaluate the use of heat integration with case studies, rigorously evaluate process improvements with the help of a process flow diagram (PFD), or model crude distillation units. PRO/II offers a wide variety of thermodynamic models to virtually every industry and is incredibly cost effective, decreasing both capital and operating costs.

About Spiral: Spiral Software, an Invensys company, provides the latest technology that allows for plant management to make the best possible choices in refining to improve planning and scheduling. Spiral software provides assay knowledge management techniques like the crude assay library that allows refiners to consistently make the best choices in trading and processing, which is essential for improving refinery profitability.
