Gas treating & processing
MaximaLabs vs ProMax
Browser-native, AI-assisted gas-processing and amine screening — collaborative and usage-priced, ahead of a rigorous specialist rating.
ProMax (Bryan Research & Engineering) is a well-established desktop gas-processing and amine-treating simulator with strong, validated gas-treating and dehydration models. MaximaLabs is a modern browser platform with an AI copilot and live collaboration that covers gas processing, amine treating (rate-based, screening-grade), and carbon capture as part of a full plant flowsheet.
An honest comparison
Where ProMax is genuinely stronger
- Mature, validated gas-treating, dehydration, and sulfur-recovery models
- Deep, trusted installed base in gas processing
Where MaximaLabs wins
- Zero-install browser, AI copilot, live multiplayer, usage-based pricing
- Amine/CCS + dehydration inside one collaborative plant flowsheet
- Plain-English convergence diagnostics instead of cryptic codes
The honest positioning
Being straight about the wedge is the point.
A modern, collaborative front-end for gas-processing and amine/CCS studies — screening-grade on the amine rigor, so pair it with a specialist rating for final design. The win is speed, AI, and accessibility.
