Chemical processes can be simulated through a various range of software. However, the research for the optimal solution of the design process is not always trivial and several different phenomena must be taken into account when searching for the final solution.
In chemistry, physical process are most of the time complex and with several feedback relations, and this increase a lot the difficulty in identify - among different possible solutions - the one that best fit our needs.
An easy solution to this is to use an optimization software, together with the actual design tools, that is able to fast identify what is the best solution that matches the design needs.

IOSO software, by SigmaTech, is a new generation optimization software that helps the user in quickly identify the optimal solution to his design task.
IOSO is a very light software that works coupled with the best simulation or modeling tools, invoking these software automatically, analyzing the results given, and identifying what are the best set of parameters to reach the goal that the user fixed.
This is done automatically, enabling lower research expenditures and shortening the implementation time. The main purpose of the system is to relieve a designer or researcher of the sufficiently complex and very labour-intensive process of searching for optimal system design parameters.

IOSO is a new generation optimization software in terms that it use an Indirect Optimization based on Self Organization algorithms: instead of specifying some well known optimization strategy before solving the task (requires knowledge and a fixed strategy), IOSO uses simultanously up to 7 different known optimization strategis, and adapting the surface response shape runtime.

Chemical processes can then be solved by looking at them with a completely different perspective!

For simulating 3D turbulent chemical flows, instead, XC Engineering suggests to use the fluid dynamic simulation software FLOW-3D, by FlowScience Inc.
