What is gPROMS and what is it used for?
gPROMS is a set of advanced process modeling tools. Siemens created high-fidelity digital models of industrial processes (also known as Digital Twins). These models help companies design, optimize and operate more efficiently. Process industries such as chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, refining, food and beverage and more use gPROMS to reduce risk, improve performance and support sustainable operations. It’s also applied in research institutions and academia and supports applications ranging from R&D and design to operations, safety and environmental optimization.
How is gPROMS different from other simulation software?
Unlike basic simulation tools, gPROMS uses equation-based modeling to create highly accurate digital representations of real-world processes. It supports steady-state and dynamic simulations, soft sensing, real-time optimization and integration with plant data. These attributes give you more precise control, better decision-making information and predictive insights.
What is a Digital Process Twin and how does it create value?
gPROMS Digital Process Twins capture fundamental process knowledge and apply state-of-the-art mathematical methods to analyze and optimize the process design or operation quickly and accurately.
Optimizing process or product design can lock in value over the lifetime of production — amounting to billions of dollars in some cases. Optimizing a plant operation creates ongoing value through improved performance and efficiency.
How does gPROMS help optimize plant operations?
gPROMS uses high-fidelity Digital Twins to simulate real process conditions. These mathematical models of the physical process combined with real-time and historical plant data help operators gain better visibility into equipment health, predict maintenance needs and support faster, more informed decisions when conditions change.
