AspenTech Teams Up with NIST to Deliver Industry's
Largest Chemical Property Database
Model complex processes in
minutes, not months
With the recent news that AspenTech and the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) have received an R&D
100 Award from R&D Magazine, you now have important
third-party validation of aspenONE's unique "out-of-the-box"
modeling capabilities.
"For the first time, engineers
worldwide now have a tool that not only assures strict quality
control of data delivery, but provides critically evaluated data on
demand for state-of-the art chemical process and product design."
- Michael Frenklach, Department of Mechanical Engineering
Professor, University of California - Berkeley
Simulate the most complex chemical processes-and do it in
minutes, not months. Leveraging the industry's largest built-in
physical property database, aspenONE Engineering enables you
to:
- Access physical property data for
17,000+ organic compounds
- Instantly access over one million sets
of experimental pure-component data
- Collect and validate property data in
minutes instead of weeks or months
- Estimate and fit missing property
parameters using a built-in expert system
Aspen Plus® and Aspen HYSYS® are industry-leading modeling tools
in the aspenONE Engineering suite. The R&D 100 Award in
particular recognizes Aspen Plus, a leading simulation tool for the
chemical, polymer, specialty chemical, metals and mining, and coal
power industries.
For more information on how aspenONE can save you significant
time and expense in chemical process modeling using the
NIST ThermoData Engine, read the executive summary or view this short presentation.
"This software represents the
first and only chemical process design product currently available
that supports the development and modification of products and
processes on the basis of an 'entire body of knowledge' that is
updated continuously."
- Dr. Frederick Dryer, Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering,
Princeton University

Collaboration with NIST to
deliver best-in-class modeling
AspenTech has a
long-standing relationship with the National Institute of Standards
and Technology, enabling aspenONE to deliver the world's largest
set of pure component data. This extensive, time-saving data
continues to grow with each new release of the software.
The R&D 100 Award is the culmination of this cooperative
partnership and underscores our commitment to R&D investment
that is unmatched in engineering and optimization software for the
process industries. AspenTech recognizes the importance of
properties and thermodynamics in process engineering and, through
collaboration with key organizations like NIST, strives to deliver
best-in-class physical property data and models for the widest
range of processes.
"Through continuous updates of
all relevant thermophysical and thermochemical properties, design
engineers will be able to spend more time solving problems rather
than worrying about the quality of the thermophysical properties
data used in the simulation." - Dr. Navin Patel, Technology
Solutions Group, QinetiQ North America Operations LLC
What is the R&D 100
Award?
Since 1963, R&D Magazine has given the R&D 100
Award to honor the latest technology developments that have met
important societal, scientific, or business challenges. Previous
winners include such revolutionary technologies as the fax machine
(1975), the liquid crystal display (1980) and HDTV (1998).
R&D Magazine is world-renowned for providing timely,
informative news and useful technical articles that broaden
readers' knowledge of the research and development industry and
improve the quality of their work.
