Roadmap

ProcessPI is evolving into a comprehensive Python-based process modeling and simulation toolkit.
This roadmap highlights upcoming features, improvements, and long-term vision.

Upcoming Release: v0.3.0

  • Expanded Equipment Library
    Pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, valves, and flow control devices for complete process modeling.

  • Advanced Multiphase Calculations
    Gas-liquid flows, slug/bubbly/stratified regimes, pressure drop, and holdup predictions.

  • Enhanced Thermophysical Integration
    Full CoolProp integration for fluid properties, multi-component mixtures, and real-gas behavior.

  • Extended CalculationEngine
    New heat transfer and friction factor correlations, modular and fast computational API.

  • Visualization Upgrades
    P&ID-style schematics, interactive network plotting with Plotly, flow/pressure/temperature mapping.

  • Documentation & Examples
    Real-world case studies, Colab notebooks, and advanced examples for complex networks.

Long-Term Vision

  • Full-Fledged Process Simulation Toolkit
    Open-source alternative to Aspen Plus / HYSYS with end-to-end process modeling.

  • Web-Based GUI Dashboard
    Drag-and-drop network design, interactive simulations, real-time visualization of flows and pressures.

  • Plugin Ecosystem
    Extendable with custom unit operations, property methods, and visualization modules.

  • AI-Enhanced Assistance
    Smart pipeline sizing, equipment selection, troubleshooting suggestions integration with ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

  • Open Collaboration & Industry Adoption
    Community-driven libraries, templates for standard chemical processes, and verified industry case studies.
