Outotec and PE International to develop software for sustainability and life
cycle evaluations
Outotec and one of the world's leading sustainability consulting companies, PE
International (Germany), have announced their joint development of a new
software interface for metals production sustainability and lifecycle
evaluations.
To be completed in 2012 the new interface will be based on PE International's
GaBi 5 and Outotec's HSC Chemistry(®) software. The interface will enable to
optimize HSC based process models using the GaBi extensive Life Cycle Assessment
(LCA) databases and procedures. This will remarkably facilitate finding and
recognizing the Best Available Technology (BAT) from several process
alternatives.
The new interface will allow users to develop product and process modelling
simulations and scenarios using a life cycle perspective. And as a result it
provides all the environmental impact information. In addition, Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and businesses will be able to plan their
operations and make material decisions based on the sustainability and life
cycle information of current and future metal manufacturing scenarios and their
environmental impacts. This will help to lower the environmental footprint of
these products and production facilities.
Outotec's HSC Chemistry software is designed for various process simulation and
modelling applications. HSC consist of 24 calculation modules and 12 extensive
databases. These tools help to design technically viable and effective
processes. These process models give the initial data for the process design,
engineering and automation. The new HSC-Gabi interface will make possible to
develop industrial ecosystems, which are based on sustainable recycling and
fruitful symbiosis between the processes, plants and whole society.
"I am excited about this cooperation. It is a concrete demonstration of how
Outotec as the leading technology company can contribute to improving
sustainability of the metals production, product design and recycling of end-of-
life goods", says Outotec CEO Pertti Korhonen.
