The Biorefinery Simulation and Techno-Economic Analysis Modules
Project description
What is BioSTEAM?
BioSTEAM is an open source process simulation package in Python for fast and flexible techno-economic analysis. BioSTEAM objects serve as basic building blocks to design and simulate a biorefinery. These include objects that handle material properties, material flows, unit operations, recycle loops and process specifications.
