HEXTRAN, powered by the SIM4ME common modeling environment, is the core heat transfer technology for SIM4ME. The latest HEXTRAN version is GUI Java-based, with an HTML help system that enables the production of standard TEMA exchanger data sheets in both HTML and Excel formats. It also offers superior post-processing displays and plots results from network targeting, grand composite curves and zone analysis exercises.

HEXTRAN provides new efficiencies in all types of design and operational analysis work, such as individual exchanger and network designs, pinch analysis, exchanger zone analysis, split flow, area payout and cleaning cycle optimizations.

Your Tool for Greater Profitability
HEXTRAN simulates actual performance and can make the difference between profit and loss. HEXTRAN helps you achieve:

• Improved process heat transfer, product yield and quality 
• Increased energy efficiency and significantly reduced operating costs 
• Increased plant flexibility and throughput 
• Optimized cleaning schedule for exchangers 
• Optimal antifoulant selection and usage 
• Improved process designs and revamps

The HEXTRAN process heat-transfer simulator offers features that enable you to easily evaluate complex design, operational and retrofit situations:

• Enables the design of both simple and complex heat-transfer systems, resulting in cost effective, flexible processes.
• Allows you to retrofit existing equipment and revamp heat exchanger networks to yield optimum performance.
• Enables the identification of cleaning incentives and the prediction of future performance.

Easy Upgrade
Targeting, synthesis, design, rating and optimization technologies are included in the latest version of HEXTRAN, along with the comprehensive thermodynamic and physical property data banks that have become industry standards. HEXTRAN automatically converts previous keyword input files or GUI database files to take full advantage of the new SIM4ME environment.

New, Thin-Client Platform and Microsoft Sequel Server offers improved access and distribution power, providing greater flexibility in licensing and securing modules, using any of the FlexLM, ELAN or Dallas security technologies.
