Petro-SIM Polymer Modeling Powered by Predici


Predici-SIM polymerization reactor improvemnet in Petro-SIM v7.6.


Integration of Predici with Petro-SIM


Predici-SIM is a Petro-SIM polymerization reactor model based on Predici model. Predici is a product of German-based CiT, Computing in Technology, to provide polymerization reactor design, operation, and performance analysis.CiT’s software Predici is a market leading powerful technology for modelling polymer reactions.

Predici-SIM will enable you to simulate the entire refinery-petrochemical-polymer supply chain to predict yield, polymer properties in steady-state and dynamic models. Users can analyze, monitor KPIs, calibrate KPIs to optimize the polymerization performance.
