MaximaLabs process simulator — a converged crude distillation unit flowsheet with a live stream table

A real converged run — crude distillation, 6 components, Peng-Robinson.

Open a real model, not a demo video

Three production-shaped flowsheets from the library. Each opens live on the canvas — editable, solvable, with the equations behind every block.

Refining

Crude distillation (preset cuts)

A rigorous 14-stage MESH column on Peng-Robinson, with per-stage temperature and K-value profiles.

Describe the plant in plain English. The Copilot handles the flowsheet.

Generate flowsheets from plain English and get plain-English fixes for failed solves — not cryptic codes. Every governing equation stays open — column MESH, reactor rate laws, mass/energy residuals in real LaTeX — so engineers know it isn't a black box.

Stream real-time telemetry directly onto active flowsheet nodes.

Live OPC-UA, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MQTT, or Sparkplug B tags flow onto the same flowsheet the simulator solved, with autoencoder soft-sensor anomaly detection — not a separate dashboard.

Multi-cursor real-time editing & a native Python SDK.

Multiple engineers on one live flowsheet with cursors and presence, plus a zero-dependency `pip install flowsim-sdk` client or the =FLOWSIM.RUN() Excel add-in.

Bring what you already have

Drop a P&ID or a datasheet and the AI reconstructs the flowsheet. Aspen .bkp and HYSYS .hsc files import deterministically — no AI in the loop.

Have an existing P&ID or equipment datasheet?

Drag a PDF datasheet or a P&ID image here — MaximaLabs reconstructs a live, editable, solvable flowsheet from it instead of you re-keying every stream and unit op by hand.

Reads stream tags and equipment types; you'll review and fix anything it couldn't confidently map before running it.

Built for real processes

Open any template and it loads straight onto the canvas — solved and ready to edit.

MaximaLabs template library — searchable, categorized flowsheet templates including Green Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Biotech, and 46 Refining models

Search 90+ pre-built templates by industry or species — every one solved and ready to edit.

HYSYS was built for oil & gas. MaximaLabs ships the new-energy unit ops and workflows you actually need.

Why engineers switch

Zero install, anywhere

Open a browser and simulate. No license servers, no 2003-era desktop, no IT ticket.

Python-first & rigorous

NumPy/SciPy/CoolProp under the hood, validated against published VLE data. A first-class Python API.

From screening to design deliverables

Instant capital cost, heat-exchanger rating, energy optimization & case studies, and safety checks (LEL/HAZOP, API 521 relief).

MaximaLabs vs. legacy desktop workflows

The same shift shows up across every dimension of the workflow, not just the sticker price.
