ProTRAX SIMULATION SYSTEM




ProTRAX is a simulation system designed to enable engineers to develop high-fidelity, dynamic process and control models with ease and efficiency. These system models, which run under the latest Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, are powerful analytic tools with a wide range of applications.

The ProTRAX simulation software is often used for:
  • Dynamic Simulation
    Plant or system design and analysis, control system design and analysis, operating procedure development and evaluation, and plant troubleshooting
  • Operator Training
    Training of operations personnel, technicians, and engineers
  • Control System Checkout
    Design, debug, and tuning of control system hardware and software prior to final plant installation

The most common applications of ProTRAX include power plants, industrial power complexes, coal gasification, wastewater treatment, HVAC, chemical processes, and pulp and paper plants.

High-Fidelity Process Models

Process models built with ProTRAX simulation software provide high-fidelity engineering grade models. To be a "high-fidelity" model, the following three items must be true:

  1. The equations describing the component behavior are based on conservation of mass, energy, and momentum along with well-accepted constitutive equations for heat transfer and flow.
  2. The plant model accurately represents the configuration of the actual plant.
  3. Each component's parameters accurately represent the corresponding component in the actual plant.
ProTRAX is comprised of an extensive library of components, or modules, that are based upon first principles mass and energy relations. Each simulator is configured to the exact configuration of the plant being simulated, and the individual components of a model are tailored to the specific plant, resulting in a high-fidelity simulator that truly represents the plant operation.

ProTRAX software is an affordable system that provides quick and accurate results. A worldwide customer base offers testament to the usability of the tool and the effective application of the results. We invite you to join the community of satisfied ProTRAX users.
