Overview

HEXTRAN offers features

that enable users to

easily evaluate complex

design, operations,

and retrofit situations,

by designing new

systems for maximum

efficiency and identifying

problems.

The HEXTRAN heat transfer simulator is the core heat transfer technology for all SimSci-Esscor products. HEXTRAN has the ability to produce standard TEMA exchanger datasheets in both HTML and Excel® formats. HEXTRAN also offers superior post-processing displays and plots of results from network targeting, grand composite curves, and zone analysis exercises.

HEXTRAN provides efficiencies in all types of design and operational analysis work:

• Individual Exchanger and Network Designs

• Pinch Analysis

• Exchanger Zone Analysis

• Split Flow

• Area Payout

• Cleaning Cycle Optimizations

GREATER PROFITABLILTYUsing HEXTRAN to simulate actual performance can make a critical difference between profit or loss. Users will achieve cost effective improvements such as:

• Increased Energy Efficiency and Significantly Reduced Operating Costs

• Improved Process Heat Transfer, Product Yields, and Quality

• Increased Plant Flexibility and Throughput

• Optimized Cleaning Schedule for Exchangers

• Optimal Antifoulant Selection and Usage

• Improved Process Designs and Revamps

HEXTRAN offers features that enable users to easily evaluate complex design, operations, and retrofit situations, by designing new systems for maximum efficiency and identifying problems.
