Stop Wasting Hours on Process Separation
Automate the design and optimization of liquid/gas separation and current generation processes.
Designing and refining chemical separation processes eats up valuable time with repetitive calculations, endless simulation tweaks, and manual documentation. Errors or missed steps can lead to costly delays and compliance headaches.
A Process Development Agent for Chemical Engineers is an AI-powered agent that helps chemical engineers design and optimize separation or electrical generation processes by automating calculations, simulations, and reporting, enabling faster, more accurate results.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
Manually developing processes to separate components or generate electrical currents requires running multiple simulations, checking calculations, and documenting every step. Each iteration means more time spent on repetitive tasks and less on innovation. Small errors can cause project delays, rework, or regulatory issues.
Time wasted
1.6 hrs/week
Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.
Money lost
$2,320/year
In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.
If you keep ignoring it
If you keep doing it manually, you risk wasted time, increased error rates, and slower project delivery, all of which impact your bottom line and project success.

AI Agent FAQ
The agent can assist with multi-component separation tasks by automating parameter setup, calculations, and reporting. For highly specialized or novel processes, you may need to review and adjust the agent's outputs.
The agent does not replace your simulation software. It prepares inputs, analyzes outputs, and generates reports, but you still run simulations in your preferred tools.
The agent uses standard chemical engineering methods for calculations. You should verify critical results, especially for regulatory submissions or novel processes.
Your data is processed only on demand and is not stored after task completion. Sensitive information is not used for training or shared with third parties.
You can specify formatting preferences or required sections when you request documentation. The agent will generate reports according to your instructions.
