Linde renews simulation software contract with Honeywell

Linde AG has agreed to a multi-year contract with Honeywell to continue providing its UniSim Design Suite simulation software to the Germany-based industrial gases and engineering firm

Linde's UniSim Design is used for the process engineering of olefin, hydrogen and synthesis gas plants, for which it models the complete processes in a single simulation. The solution is also used for research and development, and plant safety design.

"UniSim Design helps us deliver projects faster and ensure we get the best solution for our customers,” said Dr Gabriele Engl, manager of information technologies for process design and control for Linde’s engineering division.

The simulation software is currently used by more than 200 Linde engineers across the world to create process designs, improve process calculations and optimise plant performance.

A joint development programme has been in operation that makes sure the solutions provided are tailored made for Linde’s requirements, which has resulted in the software incorporating a number of the company’s in-house unit operation models.

Honeywell Process Solutions vice president Ian Brown said, “The joint development programme and ongoing support position UniSim Design to continue to meet Linde’s business needs as they change.”
