20.4.2021 13:49:12 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Process Systems Enterprise (PSE), a Siemens business, today released its rebranded gPROMS Process advanced process modelling environment.
Formerly known as gPROMS ProcessBuilder, gPROMS Process 2.0 is the first major release since PSE was acquired by Siemens. Eckard Eberle, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Process Automation division, says “the significantly enhanced capabilities and functionality you see in this release reflect the substantial investment Siemens is making into product development within PSE to provide the process industries with a new generation of digital tools.”
Costas Pantelides, PSE CEO and architect of the gPROMS platform, says “The name change signifies a break with the past. Until now, ProcessBuilder has been an environment for sophisticated users who are typically running high-value, complex optimizations. This is the first release in a major, multi-year development programme that will bring the cutting-edge capabilities of the gPROMS platform to users across process organisations”.
The release contains significant new model library content, including a new polyolefins library to support online nonlinear control applications for polymers such as LDPE and HDPE; an advanced model library for electrochemical reactors to support the optimization of clean energy and hydrogen systems; a data-driven model library for hybrid modelling combining data-driven elements with first-principles models; new batch distillation and decanter models for specialty chemicals; enhancements to the multistream heat exchanger for LNG and cryogenic process optimization and to PSE’s industry-leading catalytic reactors model library; and a unique new cyclic steady-state solver to speed up modelling of adsorption processes.
gPROMS Process includes an all-new integral gPROMS Properties package containing all industry-standard thermodynamic models plus PSE’s industry-leading SAFT-γ Mie, which allows accurate prediction of physical properties and phase behaviour with minimal experimental data. “We aim to provide the world’s leading materials modelling capability within a process simulator”, says Pantelides. “covering strongly associating, polymer and active pharmaceutical ingredient systems within a single properties package”.
gPROMS Process also supports the automatic generation of fast-solving surrogate models, technology already extensively proven on large-scale, multi-site optimization projects. A new interface to Siemens’ STAR-CCM+ simplifies combining process and CFD hydrodynamic models for detailed equipment design. Support for the gPROMS Web Applications Platform (gWAP) makes it easy to supply models to users across the organisation via web interfaces.
gPROMS Process is unique among process simulation tools in that it was designed from the start to support the entire process lifecycle, from R&D to operations. Its comprehensive digital design capability makes it possible to explore the process decision space rapidly and effectively, and determine optimal values for multiple design variables simultaneously to arrive at truly optimized designs in the minimum time. gPROMS Process models can be exported for implementation online within the gPROMS Digital Applications Platform (gDAP), for real-time monitoring, soft-sensing and real-time optimization applications coupled with plant data.

Swedish Court Further Reschedules Delivery of Judgment in PriceRunner Vs Google Antitrust Case24.6.2026 20:55:00 CEST | Press release
Klarna provides investor update Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) wishes to update investors that the Patent and Market Court in Stockholm, Sweden (Patent- och marknadsdomstolen) has again postponed publication of its judgment in the antitrust damages proceedings brought by PriceRunner, a Klarna subsidiary, against Google. The Court has rescheduled publication of its judgment from June 26, 2026 to July 1, 2026 at 13:00 CET. As with the Court's two previous notifications, the rescheduling is a procedural decision by the Court and relates solely to the timing of the judgment delivery. In its notification, the Court cited high workload as the reason for needing additional time to finalize the judgment. No inference about the outcome should be drawn from it. Important Notice The outcome of the proceedings is inherently uncertain. No assurance can be given that PriceRunner will succeed on liability or quantum. Any award would be subject to appeal by Google, to sharing arrangements with former P
Vertex Energy Announces 6,000 bpd Group III Base Oil Expansion Project24.6.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press release
Vertex Energy, Inc. (“Vertex” or the “Company”) today announced it is advancing a project at its Mobile, Alabama refinery to produce crude-derived conventional Group III base oils through the Company’s existing hydrocracker and related processing infrastructure, providing lubricant manufacturers and blenders with an additional domestic source of high-quality Group III supply. The project is designed to add an incremental 6,000 barrels per day of conventional Group III production capacity and support production of 4 cSt, 6 cSt, and 8 cSt Group III base oils using an existing crude-derived hydrocracked vacuum gas oil stream produced at the Company’s Mobile, Alabama refinery. Combined with the Company’s existing re-refined Group III base oil production, this additional capacity is expected to make Vertex the leading Group III producer in North America. Vertex has completed preliminary design work and has procured a high-pressure lubricants hydrotreating unit. The Company plans to start pr

New MetLife Study Reveals a 72% “Confidence Gap” in Ability to Recover from Life's Setbacks24.6.2026 15:25:00 CEST | Press release
Multinational study finds preparedness, early life experiences, and community support play a critical role in building resilience and confidence, reinforcing MetLife’s purpose. Sports, education, and mentorship at a young age shape long-term confidence and resilience. MetLife and MetLife Foundation are supporting initiatives like the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund to expand access to education and sports programs for youth in communities worldwide, supporting their future success. A new multinational study from MetLife reveals a striking “confidence gap”: while most adults describe themselves as resilient, their confidence drops by 72% when faced with real-life setbacks. The Confident Pathways Report, conducted across the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, and Mexico, was designed to better understand how confidence is built and sustained throughout life. The findings underscore the role of opportunity, preparedness, and support in building confidence - factors that help people
