What is BioSTEAM?
BioSTEAM is a fast and flexible package for the design, simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle assessment of chemical processes under uncertainty [1]. BioSTEAM is built to streamline and automate early-stage technology evaluations and to enable rigorous sensitivity and uncertainty analyses. BioSTEAM has been used to model a range of fermentation-based bioproduct pathways going from conventional/cellulosic crops, municipal solid waste, and flue gas all the way to diols, organic acids, oleochemicals, and biofuels. Complete biorefinery configurations are available at the Bioindustrial-Park GitHub repository, BioSTEAM’s premier repository for biorefinery models and results. Newer applications for BioSTEAM include thermochemical upcycling of waste plastics through pyrolysis and solvent-based dissolution and precipitation.
The long-term growth and maintenance of BioSTEAM is supported through both community-led development and the research institutions invested in BioSTEAM. Through its open-source and community-lead platform, BioSTEAM aims to foster communication and transparency within the process systems research community for an integrated effort to expedite the development of sustainable processes.
Data on chemicals and algorithms to estimate thermodynamic properties are imported from chemicals and thermo, community-driven open-source libraries developed by Caleb Bell. BioSTEAM’s premire thermodynamic engine, ThermoSTEAM, builds upon these libraries to facilitate the creation of thermodynamic property packages.
