HSC 8.0 - the latest version of the world's most popular thermodynamic calculation software - boasts 18 completely redesigned modules, two new modules, an updated database containing more than 28,000 compounds, and numerous other new features.
HSC 8.0 also introduces significant improvements to the user interface and reporting quality, as well as support for 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 operating systems. The software has been rewritten using the latest Microsoft .NET 4.5 environment, which enables seamless interaction between all modules, and harmonization of formats, settings, and other user-defined functions.

Outotec's Chemical Reaction and Equilibrium Software HSC Chemistry is the world's favorite thermochemical software with a versatile flowsheet simulation module. HSC is designed for various kinds of chemical reactions and equilibria calculations as well as process simulation.

HSC Chemistry offers powerful calculation methods for studying the effects of different variables on a chemical system at equilibrium. For example, if the user gives the raw materials, amounts and other conditions of almost any chemical process, the program will give the amounts of the product as a result. HSC also makes heat and material balance calculations of different processes much more easily than any manual method. The Eh-pH-diagrams option also offers a very fast way of studying the dissolution and corrosion behavior of different materials.

About the software
The name of the program is based on the fact that calculation modules automatically utilize the same extensive thermochemical database which contains enthalpy (H) , entropy (S) and heat capacity (Cp) data for more than 28 000 chemical species. This database is equivalent to more than twenty thick data books.
