Imagine designing complex water purification systems with just a few clicks, from anywhere in the world. That's the promise of LANXESS's new LewaPlus Online, a game-changing browser-based design software for ion exchange systems. Forget clunky installations and outdated databases – this is the future of water treatment design. The online platform complements the existing desktop version, offering unparalleled flexibility and accessibility across desktops, tablets, and even smartphones. You can find it live and ready to use on the LANXESS website right now.
But here's where it gets interesting... LewaPlus Online isn't just about convenience; it's about collaboration.
According to Dr. Stefan Neufeind, Head of Business Development and Applications for Liquid Purification Technologies at LANXESS, "LewaPlus Online makes the design of ion exchange systems even more flexible and easier. The software does not need to be installed and can be accessed quickly. The database is always up to date for all users. With LewaPlus Online, we are further developing our proven digital platform for the design of ion exchange systems for water treatment, thereby taking customer service to a new and contemporary level.” In plain terms, this means real-time collaboration on projects is now a reality, fostering teamwork and streamlining the design process, a feature highly requested by engineers and designers in the field.
Users can easily export their results directly from the browser, creating documentation and archives with ease. The key new feature is the project sharing function, which enables multiple users to collaborate on the same project, regardless of their location. Don’t worry, the desktop version of LewaPlus isn't going anywhere – it remains available for those who prefer it.
The initial module available in the online version focuses on demineralization, simplifying the planning and sizing of water treatment systems. Think of it as the foundation upon which more advanced functionality will be built. LANXESS plans to release additional modules progressively, expanding the software's capabilities over time.
As with the desktop version, LewaPlus Online is designed to support the creation of customized process and system configurations. It's particularly well-suited for applications in water treatment and the food and beverage industry, where precise control and optimization are crucial. And this is the part most people miss... By using LewaPlus, companies can significantly boost productivity while simultaneously reducing their consumption of chemicals and water, leading to both environmental and economic benefits. This aligns with the growing global emphasis on sustainable practices and resource efficiency.
