AZprocede is a dynamic process simulation software running on Windows PCs, designed for chemical engineering/process engineering education. It allows users to "pilot" virtual processes and equipment in real-time, including pumps, heat exchangers, compressors, control systems, distillation columns, extraction, evaporation, crystallization, chemical reactors, refrigeration cycles, and more. The website also provides resources such as Exercices GC, Cours GC, Schéma GC, and TP GC, covering exercises, course materials, process diagrams, and practical assignments. Therefore, it is more of an "educational software + course resource library" rather than a video course platform.
The course domain is highly specific, focusing on chemical engineering, process engineering, and unit operations. It is particularly suitable for learning scenarios that require understanding dynamic processes, control responses, and equipment operational logic. In terms of teaching format, there are no live classes, recorded broadcasts, or 1-on-1 services mentioned; it primarily relies on local software, exercises, course web pages, and practical materials. Language is a significant barrier: the software is in French, and while some process models have been translated into English series 7, combustion-steam and refrigeration cycles are not fully anglicized, nor are there Spanish or German versions. There is no information regarding certifications or certificates.
Free for personal private use, but with strict limitations: it can only be installed on a personal computer, must not be used by schools/training institutions/enterprises, and requires submitting a form to apply for a key. Free private use keys usually have an expiration date, and features like saving and simulation speed are restricted. A donation of 10€ grants Gold user status, typically receiving a key within 24 hours, unlocking features such as saving and a maximum simulation speed of 16X. Schools, universities, enterprises, or training institutions must purchase a license, which is typically renewable every 2 years, though specific prices are not publicly disclosed.
Pros include a clear educational focus, models covering typical chemical engineering processes, and accompanying materials featuring around 200 chemical engineering troubleshooting/analysis exercises and practicals, making it suitable for classroom demonstrations and student self-study. Cons are also apparent: users can only operate existing models and cannot build new processes from scratch; it is limited to local Windows installation; the process of applying for a key and copying it to the installation directory is rather traditional; institutional pricing is opaque and requires contacting them for licensing.
It is suitable for chemical engineering teachers in French-speaking environments, BTS/STL or equivalent level students, and institutions requiring dynamic process simulation training. If used in China, the text provides no information on network accessibility or payment compatibility, so access status should be considered unknown; in terms of payment, only PayPal and checks are listed. If more industrial or open modeling is required, alternatives like Aspen HYSYS/Aspen Plus Dynamics, DWSIM, COCO Simulator, and MATLAB/Simulink can be considered.
