HSC Chemistry ©
With HSC Chemistry you can carry out thermodynamic and mineral processing calculations on a standard computer quickly and easily. Essential software toolkit for process research, development, design, and digitalization, as well as for estimating process efficiencies, yields, and environmental footprints. The latest HSC Chemistry software contains 24 calculation modules connected to 12 integrated databases.
The HSC-Sim module consists of graphical flowsheet and spreadsheet type process unit models. The HSC approach to process simulation is quite different from traditional simulation software. This approach makes it possible to simulate nearly any type of process. The Sim module has been tested in real work at Outotec and it is used as a main simulation tool for mineralogical and hydrometallurgical mass balance simulations.
