Make elements work for you

Every element has its own unique features and properties that determine how it behaves in chemical molecules, species, and processes. Outotec HSC Chemistry helps you to understand, control, and master this behavior in chemical processes.

HSC is one of the first software packages to combine versatile chemical, thermodynamic, and mineral-processing features. Thermochemical calculations are useful, for example, when developing new chemical processes and improving existing ones. Because the software enables you to make quick and easy calculations using a standard computer, it has a wide range of educational, industrial, and research applications.

HSC also contains modules for mineral processing and particle calculations, which are integrated with an extensive mineral database. Modules and databases are accessed via a dynamic and fully customizable menu.
