Welcome and Program Overview9:00 AM - 9:20 AM

This session will serve as a welcome to our CHEMCAD Symposium. We will cover logistics and the day's schedule and activities.

Nodes and Momentum Balances9:20 AM - 9:50 AM

Did you know that CHEMCAD will do momentum (pressure-based) balances in addition to heat and material balances? Expect to learn how to set up a flowsheet that will drive flow appropriately (even reverse flow!) given equipment and piping specifications.

Performance Evaluation of Nanomembrane Bioseparation for Organic Acids Using Newly Developed Thermodynamic Models in CHEMCAD Simulation9:50 AM - 10:20 AM

Demonstration of recent industry applications and recommendations for working in CHEMCAD

Break10:20 AM - 10:30 AM 
Integrated CO2 Transport and Injection Systems Modeling10:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Demonstration of recent industry applications and recommendations for working in CHEMCAD

Choosing Thermodynamics11:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Thermodynamics, phase equilibrium, and properties of mixtures are core to making sure your simulation reflects the reality of your process. We regularly help users work with these calculations in CHEMCAD, so in this session, we will give you the tools and guidelines to make good thermodynamics selections for real-world applications. 

Networking Lunch11:30 AM - 1:00 PM 
Presenting a Custom Excel Unit Operation that Predicts Crystallization and Temperature Sensitivity1:00 PM - 1:30 PM

Demonstration of recent industry applications and recommendations for working in CHEMCAD

Simulation Best Practices1:30 PM - 2:00 PM

Wondering if you've made the best use of CHEMCAD within your organization? Learn from our experts how to get the most value of your time in the software, whether you're tackling an everyday challenge or a full-blown process model.

CHEMCAD Dynamics (Tour and Q&A)2:00 PM - 2:45 PM

Solving for steady state is great, but dynamics can take your process models to the next level! In this session we will start small and go big to show the various features available in CHEMCAD for dynamic simulation. We will show examples of large-scale dynamics and discuss potential economic, operational, and environmental benefits of tackling these challenges. Finally, we will answer your questions about dynamics for your applications.

Break2:45 PM - 3:00 PM 
What's New and What's Coming3:00 PM - 3:30 PM

The best is yet to come! Steve Brown, president of Chemstations, will unveil the latest insights into our organizational growth, highlight new features in CHEMCAD, and deliver some exciting news about CHEMCAD licensing. Be the first to hear about the future of CHEMCAD.

Pipe Flow Modeling3:30 PM - 3:45 PM

AFT, a leader in pipe flow modeling technology, will demonstrate how to combat uncertainty in piping design and operating costs. Whether you're modeling gas, liquid, or slurry flow, piping components or ducting systems, steady-state or transient, there is something here for you.

CHEMCAD Developer Q&A3:45 PM - 4:45 PM

Wrapping up our day of discussion will be a presentation by Chemstations development staff on the state of CHEMCAD development and what we are working toward followed by an interactive Q&A. CHEMCAD developers want to hear your questions and suggestions directly so be sure to stick around and let us know what you want to see in for the future of CHEMCAD.

Closing Remarks4:45 PM - 5:00 PM
