Environmental Software

1. e!Sankey



License: Free to try
The Sankey diagram software
Finally a software for the easy creation of Sankey diagrams! With e!Sankey you can setup Sankey diagrams and flow charts in no time. Draw appealing process diagrams and display the material, energy and cost flows of any process system.Sankey diagrams, flow diagrams in which the width of the arrows is shown proportionally to the flow quantity, are commonly used in the energy and chemical industries. They are a great way to convey your message in presentations and reports.e!Sankey is very comfortable to use. It has numerous options to make nice-looking flow charts, allowing you to add labels and additional graphical elements, and to adapt the flow colors. It also lets you scale the flows. Lean, easy-to-use, and at a really competitive price - that's e!Sankey.

The visualization of flows in process systems has never been easier. Sankey flow graphs convey your message in a colorful way.

2. Umberto



License: Free to try
Umberto is the leading software tool for modeling, calculation, visualisation and assessment of material and energy flow systems.
Users can benefit from Umberto by being able to analyse and optimise their production process systems. A single production line, a plant or the whole company can be the focus of the study.
One Umberto model allows for analysis from various perspectives: gate-to-gate analysis of all relevant material and energy flows of a company any subsystem of the model
Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)

Results can be assessed according to environmental, economic and social criteria. The material flow data - along with the cost data - will serve as a valuable support for the comparison of technology variants and the implementation of improvement measures.
Umberto is mainly used in companies with material and cost intensive production processes. The main focus is on process optimisation. Also, some customers use Umberto for analysing their products or to do studies along the supply chain.

As a flexible und versatile tool Umberto is also intensively being used by research institutions and consulting companies.

3. DSS for IPC

License: Free
What is DSS/IPC?
DSS/IPC is the product of a joint effort by the World Bank, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), TebodinConsultants and Engineer, and the Dutch Institute for Health and Environment (RIVM).The DSS/IPC system comprises a set of extensive databases and a number of computation modules

2. What can DSS/IPC do?The DSS/IPC computation modules enable a user to estimate:
Air, water, and soil waste emissions, on the basis of an inventory of economic activities for a given location.
Ambient concentrations of air and water pollutants, by using simple (screening) dispersion models with minimum meteorological and hydrological data.
Total costs of control options, by using standardized engineering-type cost functions.Long-run marginal cost schedules for achieving a certain level of emission reduction of a chosen pollutant
