Steady State Simulation Software for Biorefineries, Pulp & Paper and  Chemical Industries

apiMAX™ is a proprietary simulation program capable of modeling biomass-based process industries

These industries include cellulosic biofuels & biochemicals, pulp & paper, and pellet manufacturing.

User friendly interface
Easy construction of process flow sheets by dragging and dropping equipment onto the flow sheet from standard equipment libraries.
What we offer
  • Simple process stream creation using the mouse or simply “bumping” two pieces of equipment together.
  • Open environment allowing easy creation of additional equipment by user.
  • Rapid creation of energy and material balance for simple or detailed process engineering projects.
Overall plant mass & energy balance
Rapid creation of energy and material balance for simple or detailed process engineering projects.
What we offer
  • Equipment design & sizing.
  • Large library of pulp and paper, biorefining and energy equipment
  • Calculation of unmeasured data
  • Support calculations for Carbon footprint & Life Cycle Analysis.
Process optimization
Evaluation of scenarios (variation of operating conditions & production, heat recovery projects etc.)
What we offer
  • Chemical substances profile across large and complex processes.
  • Data reconciliation.
  • Training.
