Honoured to be awarded Best Alumina Paper at ICSOBA 2022. Congratulations to Ab Rijkeboer of Rinalco and co-authors John McFeaters and Dan Manché of SysCAD! In the paper, we introduce a new agglomeration kernel based on the work of René David (implemented in SysCAD as ‘David-Rijkeboer’), accounting for both laminar and turbulent flow regimes within a precipitation tank. We also present an operations-focused calibration wheel,…

We’re exhibiting at ICSOBA 2022 in Athens, Greece, Oct. 10-14. Please visit our booth to say hello and discuss your process modelling requirements with Dan Manché and Ab Rijkeboer, experts in Bayer process simulation. Ab, representing Rinalco, will be presenting the paper “Advances in Process Simulation of Agglomeration in Bayer Precipitation”, co-authored by John McFeaters and Dan Manché of SysCAD. In this…

We’re exhibiting at the return of COM in Montreal, Aug. 21-24. This conference offers networking, curated plenaries, speakers & discussions on the theme “Pathway to Net Zero”. Please stop by at our booth to say hi and discuss your process modelling requirements with John McFeaters, Kevin Heppner and Tanai Marín. Kevin will also be presenting at the conference with the…

We are attending the GTT-Technologies Users’ Meeting this week on June 29 – 30. Tanai Marin and Kevin Heppner will present on Dynamic Simulation of Batch Copper Converting using SysCAD with ChemApp. Copper converting, where iron and sulphur are removed from the molten matte, is typically carried out by Peirce-Smith Converting process. SysCAD with ChemApp was used to develop a…

We are proud to be presenting two papers and hosting a booth at ALTA 2022, ALTA Metallurgical Services’ world-class annual metallurgical conference. SysCAD will be represented in Perth by Rob Winter and Peter Marsh, and online by Kevin Heppner. Digital Transformation using Simulation in a Project Life Cycle, presented by Rob Winter on 22 May. The use of Process Simulation…

We are excited to announce the release of SysCAD Build 139!  This latest version is equipped with new features and is ready to support the next generation of process models and digital twins.  New and improved process unit models  Thermodynamic equilibrium add-ons  User interface and UX enhancements  More robust solver engine  New reporting and integration tools  New example projects and…

We are pleased to be presenting at COM 2021. Dr Kevin Heppner will be presenting “Modelling the Solvent Extraction Separation of Neodymium from Praseodymium using a First Principles Thermodynamic Model”. Using the PHREEQC thermodynamic database add-in and results from a solvent extraction pilot plant, a working thermodynamic model was generated within SysCAD. Multivariate process optimisation studies using this model were…

Ex Mente, SysCAD Agent in South Africa, are currently hosting their annual ThermoWeek. Registration is still open for the online User’s Meeting this Thursday (15 April 2021), at which we are proud to be presenting two topics on thermochemical modelling within SysCAD. These demonstrate practical applications in SysCAD of using Gibbs Free Energy Minimisation for constrained conditions; and PHREEQC Surface…

We are proud to announce the launch of a new logo as part of the ongoing evolution of SysCAD and our brand. SysCAD deserves a modern new logo as we celebrate the 25th birthday for Windows version of SysCAD. We look forward to an exciting future as digital transformation is embraced. We will continue to improve how SysCAD can help…

SysCAD is excited to be part of ALTA 2020 Online – 9 – 27 November 2020.  Please drop in anytime from your office/home-office and have a look at our virtual booth. You can arrange a time to meet with one of our engineers to discuss your requirements or find out about the latest changes in SysCAD.
