SysCAD, developed by KWA Kenwalt Australia, is a chemical process modelling software package used for steady-state and dynamic simulation of chemical process plants[1][2]. The software solves the mass and energy balances of connected unit operations, represented in a process flow sheet interface[3]. SysCAD applies chemical process engineering principals including heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, vapor–liquid equilibrium and size distribution.

Applications

SysCAD is used in various industries including: alumina[4], potash, sugar[5], copper and nickel[6], and for various applications such as: process and control system design[7], real-time simulation[8] and plant optimisation.
