In order to meet their design need of maintaining a 25% cost advantage over conventional chemical processes, the engineers at Liquid Light needed a flexible software solution to find key property data (even for non-ideal and electrolyte systems), conduct “what-if” and case analyses, model reaction systems, select solvents, and scale-up quickly and reliably. Leveraging Aspen Plus and Aspen Properties, the members of Liquid Light have been able to make meaningful predictions about system behavior, moving them closer to full scale production.
