Here are a few of the improvements that we are planning on including: 1. Merging the line arrows into the streams in the user interface (no more trying to click on the stream and getting the line arrow instead) 2. Conversion of the cascading dialogs into tabbed dialogs in the user interface (a lot fewer mouse clicks !) 3. A packed distillation column unit module 4. A DMPEG (Selexol (R), Coastal AGR (R), Genosorb (R) 1753) Equation of State 5. Full user interface for the Batch Distillation Column unit module 6. About 150 new pure components (a total of 1100 or so) We are looking for more public domain data concerning vapor - liquid equilibrium between DMPEG and H2S, CO2, hydrocarbons. If anyone knows of any, I would appreciate you forwarding it to me. Something like http://www.ogj.com/articles/save_screen.cfm?ARTICLE_ID=207957 would help us very much to complete the new DMPEG Equation of State.
