Case Study: Pilot Chemical Company achieves faster fluid property analysis with Datacor’s integrated AFT Chempak Viewer and SteamCalc

Pilot Chemical Company uses Datacor to analyze 56.9 deg. F of steam superheat

Pilot Chemical Company utilized Datacor's integrated AFT software suite to access advanced fluid property calculations. The challenge was to efficiently find and analyze the properties of various fluids and mixtures, such as methyl amine and humid air, which are essential for their engineering and flow modeling work.

The solution implemented by Datacor was the use of the AFT Chempak Viewer and AFT SteamCalc tools, which are integrated directly into their main applications. This provided engineers with immediate access to a database of nearly 700 fluids, allowing them to calculate properties at single points, compare two conditions, or analyze a range of values. The result was a streamlined workflow that eliminated the need for additional installations and provided critical data, such as the bulk modulus of elasticity for methyl amine and the superheat in steam, with measurable efficiency gains for their operations.
