BURLINGTON, MA (June 18, 2010)— COMSOL Inc, the developer of the market leading COMSOL Multiphysics simulation environment, today releases the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module. This new module is built on the COMSOL platform to create a single environment where engineers and scientists obtain highly accurate studies of material transport and chemical reactions of a wide assortment of chemistries under different operating conditions. Users can simulate reaction systems ranging from micro-reactors in biotechnology to unit operations in chemical processes and gain essential knowledge early in the development phase. The net result is more cost-effective and efficient development cycles for both products and processes.

The Chemical Reaction Engineering Module brings ease of use for the simulation of reacting system. With its built-in CAPE-OPEN support, users can combine thermodynamic property data from multiple third-party software vendors in their COMSOL simulations. The figure shows the results of the simulation of a hydroalkylation process carried out in a membrane reactor.
New Module for COMSOL Multiphysics provides a single environment for modeling and simulating reaction systems and processes.
