New digital twins

Recently we have published two new digital twins:

• electrolysis : Alkaline electrolysis system for H₂ production

• gas membranes : Gas purification processes based on gas membranes (biogas upgrading and CO₂ capture)

in addition to those already published: cogeneration , inorganic purification and continuous pasteurization .

Source code

Today we released the source code for the electrolysis and cogeneration digital twins. The source code for continuous pasteurization was already public.

All our process models are built in C++, a general-purpose, standard, high-level, object-oriented programming language. If you browse the source code you’ll see that it is easy to perform process modeling in C++ because the LIBPF^® (LIBrary for Process Flowsheeting) provides the necessary building blocks: components, properties, phases, streams, units and flowsheets.

If you want to implement the digital twin of your own process with LIBPF^®, we can help you in writing the required C++ code, “translating” your existing models to C++, or training your specialists to do it so that you can remain in control.

Cloud and desktop

Thanks to the recently released CloudPF^® (Cloud Process Flowsheeting) toolkit we can publish the digital twins as web apps. Thanks to the open-source project Juggler we can deploy the web-apps on-demand on a Kubernetes cluster and make them accessible on simevo SaaS for cloud-based process simulation.

The desktop application for Windows, macOS and Linux is also still available, but the cloud is easier to try out because there is nothing to install: the process models can be used right in your browser!

Translations

The LIBPF^®desktop application is localized in 12 languages (Modern Standard Arabic, simplified Chinese, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish).

Juggler and CloudPF^®, which you use to access the digital twins in the cloud, are localized in 4 languages (English, French, German and Italian - the language is detected from your browser settings).

The bottom line is that for you it’s easier than ever to experiment with the demo digital twins: they are all available at https://www.libpf.com/demos/ , and the preferred way to try them out nowadays is right from your browser as web apps.

Stay tuned for more updates!
