Overview

What it does

In development

The first AI-native process engineering environment where process models are living knowledge graphs rather than static simulation files.

Import existing models, work from shared assumptions, and connect each process change to techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, and downstream engineering decisions. BioFlow Studio is faster to iterate, more collaborative, and tightly integrated with the decisions that follow the simulation.

  • Living process knowledge graphs
  • Import Aspen, BioSTEAM, QSDsan, DWSIM, and spreadsheet models
  • Connected techno-economic and life cycle analysis
  • Scenario, uncertainty, and scale-up analysis
  • Collaborative, versioned model review
  • Configurable agent-assisted workflows

Features

Capabilities

Core functions in the current product direction.

Living process models

Represent units, streams, assumptions, evidence, and results as a connected engineering knowledge graph.

Import existing models

Bring in Aspen, BioSTEAM, QSDsan, DWSIM, and spreadsheet models without rebuilding the study from scratch.

Connected TEA and LCA

Carry process changes into cost, inventory, impact, and scenario analysis from the same assumptions.

Collaborative engineering

Give teams one shared, reviewable model instead of isolated simulation files and disconnected reports.

Scenarios and optimisation

Compare routes, scale-up assumptions, constraints, uncertainty, and operating conditions.

Configurable engineering agents

Use agents for model setup, checks, analysis, and documentation while engineers retain control.

Integrations

Import the models you already use

BioFlow Studio connects Aspen, BioSTEAM, QSDsan, DWSIM, spreadsheets, and Python workflows to one shared engineering model.

How it works

How BioFlow Studio works

A connected path from existing models to reviewed engineering decisions.

  1. 01

    Import or build

    Start with Aspen, BioSTEAM, QSDsan, DWSIM, spreadsheets, or a new model.

  2. 02

    Connect the model

    Map units, streams, assumptions, evidence, and dependencies into a living graph.

  3. 03

    Simulate

    Run the selected engines and keep model state, inputs, and outputs synchronized.

  4. 04

    Evaluate

    Connect process results to TEA, LCA, scenarios, and uncertainty analysis.

  5. 05

    Decide together

    Review trade-offs, document evidence, and carry approved changes downstream.

Model interoperability

Multiple modeling engines. One connected process model.

Import and orchestrate existing models without forcing the study into a single simulator.
