Description
SuperPro is a tool used by engineers and
scientists to simulate chemical processes.
Users specify the inputs and the conditions
of treatment, and SuperPro will simulate
the results step-by-step from each
operation in the entire process.
This allows users to try different scenarios
to find the best conditions for operation.
Materials Required
SuperPro requires a Pentium PC (> 800 MHz) with
at least 128 MB of RAM, 400 MB of free hard disk
space, and MS Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, or
XP platforms.
All computer labs on campus have this program
installed, so as long as you have a UMBC
username and password, you can use SuperPro
on the on-campus computers.
Just as a reminder, there are no food or drinks
allowed in on-campus computer labs.
SuperPro flowsheets take up a lot of memory, you
should save them on flash drives or put them on
your S: drive so you don’t exceed your profile
storage space
Getting Started
1. Go to a computer on campus. For example, at the library or an
Engineering building computer lab.
2. Login to a computer under your own UMBC user name and password.
3. Select SuperPro Designer 6 under the all programs menu and run
SuperPro Designer v6 (it takes a few seconds to load).
Getting Started, cont.
Select what flowsheet you would like to open. You
can either start a new flowsheet, open your last
flowsheet, or open another flowsheet. For now,
choose to start a new flowsheet and click ok.
Getting Started, cont.
Choose a Plant Operation Mode. For now, choose
continuous, which is the easiest for beginners to
SuperPro.
A batch process is more complicated, and a batch process
can be converted into a continuous process.
