CHEMPUTE SOFTWARE IS 25 YEARS OLD!!

Founded in 1986 in Durban, South Africa, Chempute Software has provided engineering design software worldwide for a quarter of a century.  We started off representing COADE (Caesar, Provessel, Chemcad, Tower Plus, Conval, Sarval, Chemcost, Linedrop, Cond), Kesler Engineering (Kflash, Hexnan), GULF PUBLISHING (Instrucalc, Chemcalc 1-13, Pipecalc 1-3), and Icarus (Questimate).  Typical PC (microcomputer) hardware requirements were XT (8086) or AT (80286) Processor, 10Mb Hard Disk or two Floppy Drives, 64-512 kB RAM, CGA/EGA graphics, and Math Coprocessor (8087 or 80287).  Software was supplied in the form of multiple 5.25" Floppy Disks (sometimes 15-20 disks!), later changing over to 3.5" Stiffy Disks.  Orders and technical support were done by Telephone or Telex (fax machines only arrived around 1988).  Our website was established around 1995, and was one of the first engineering software websites to appear.

We currently have an installed software userbase of over 10,000 software licences in over 70 countries, and we represent 20 International Software suppliers.  Chempute is a Global Distributor for Intergraph, Chemstations, and AFT, and some of our other major suppliers include Paulin Research, Gulf Publishing, Graitec, and Cambridgesoft (now owned by Perkin Elmer).

We look forward to serving our clients for the next 25 years!!



CHEMPUTE BLOG

Chempute Software has recently created a Blogspot, mainly for CAD related topics (at this stage).  Please visit this site to view software tips, tricks, discussions etc related to software products such as Cadworx, Advanced Steel, Caldsoft, Autocad  etc. 

The latest blog entry offers users the option to download a free Base-Plate Drawing Style for Advance Steel 2011. This drawing style is suitable for most base-plate type details. and will dimension the holes and also the overall plate dimensions, as well as labelling the holes and column section.

Latest Software Updates
AFT ENGINEERING UTILITY SUITE v2.0

There is a new build dated 16th September available for download from AFT's website.  This applies only to current users of EUS v2.0.  There was an issue in EUS when it was trying to access the local user database for the compressible pipe sizing utility.  This would have affected both the custom fluids, as well as any custom pipe sizes. 

AFT EUS 2.0 Update

A general description of AFT EUS can be found here:

CHEMCAD Process Flowsheet Simulator - Textbook available
 

The 2nd Edition of "Chemical Engineering in Practice" by John Edwards is now available. The book can be downloaded from Amazon for $45 (in Kindle format) by clicking on this link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JTAIO0

You will need a Kindle reader or an account to get access to this download. If you download the software package “Kindle for PC” you can then have it on your PC which is in a much better format to read, including the colour. Alternatively you could transfer to an Apple i-Pad. 

A hardcopy of the book can be ordered from Chempute Software (includes a CD containing all the worked examples from the book).  Contact Simone Schmid (sschmid@chempute.com) to order the hardcopy version.

Editorial Review on Amazon:

"This book is based on 50 years’ experience gained whilst working in the process engineering and simulation fields. It covers basic thermodynamics, process control and instrumentation, piping design, emergency relief systems, shell and tube heat exchangers, absorption, distillation, batch distillation and batch reactors. Chapters are dedicated to plant utilities, refinery operations and carbon capture technology. Simulation cases are presented using the CHEMCAD steady state and Dynamic simulator."
