About our tool

RPDS software

Open RPDS Tool

RPDS software is useful for those chemical, energy, biotechnological and metallurgical industries which want to increase profits through [...] for green field projects, for the optimization of capital and operating costs.

Basically, the software provides reliable estimates of design [...] coefficient, heat transfer coefficient, effective interfacial area, etc. for multi-phase reactors and contactors which are widely [...].

Our approach

Process knowledge first, data science second.

01

Classical methods, modern tools

We integrate first-principles chemical engineering with data science and analytics, rather than replacing one with the other.

02

Causality over correlation

We choose model inputs based on process understanding and causal relationships, not statistical correlation alone.

03

Workflows you can trust

The point is not a single model. The point is a workflow your engineers can rerun, inspect and trust.

Our leadership

The people behind RPDS
