A newly launched front-end design tool from this company allows for rapid development and evaluation of capital project options in the process industries. The software tool integrates flowsheet development, 3-D layout, factored cost estimation and design deliverables generation. Its simple and powerful interface increases engineers’ productivity, the company says, asserting that both operating and engineering companies can realize a 50% reduction in project development costs using the software system. Among the features of the software are automatic consistency checks of design parameters across multiple documents, instant updates after design changes, and continuously updated cost estimates based on an industry-accepted price database. — ConcepSys Solutions LLC, Houston, Tex.
