ChemSep
ChemSep [1] [2] is a column simulator for distillation, absorption, and extraction operations. It started as an educational modeling tool for equilibrium stage columns featuring an easy and intuitive user interface. It was developed by Ross Taylor, Arno Haket, and Harry Kooijman, at the Technical University of Delft. Version 1 was released in 1989. It was extended with the non-equilibrium (rate-based) model (v3) and models for Liquid-Liquid extraction columns (v4). In 2005 the user interface was updated with a MS Windows based GUI and a pure component data (PCD) manager (v5). More recent extensions include use as CAPE-OPEN Property Packages (v7) and a parallel column model to handle Divided Wall Columns (v8). Academic institutions can acquire site licenses (for educational use only) via the not-for-profit CACHE organization (Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering). A version with a limited number of components and stages is available for free as ChemSep LITE. This version is also included in the CAPE-OPEN COCO simulator which is used in the curriculum of various universities in undergraduate teaching of chemical engineering (e.g. University of Cape Town). The chemical compound data bank also forms the basis of other simulator tools.
