Datacor has acquired Singapore-based MySep, adding software for the design and performance assessment of process separators to its engineering simulation business, Chemical Engineering reported. The buyer, based in Florham Park, New Jersey, supplies software to engineers, process manufacturers and chemical distributors. The report did not disclose a purchase price or other financial terms for the transaction.
MySep develops simulation tools for separation processes used in the oil and gas sector. Established in 2013, the company serves applications spanning upstream production, gas processing, liquefied natural gas, refining and petrochemicals. Its specialist focus brings separator modelling into a Datacor portfolio that already covers chemical process simulation, flow simulation and probabilistic risk analysis.
The existing portfolio includes CHEMCAD for chemical process simulation, a flow simulation suite previously known as Applied Flow Technology, and GoldSim for probabilistic risk analysis. According to the report, adding MySep broadens the engineering analysis available through Datacor’s software businesses. The acquisition also strengthens the buyer’s presence in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, alongside the expansion of its technical capabilities.
Datacor president Tom Jackson described the purchase as part of the company’s continuing investment in specialised software and the expertise supporting it. He pointed to more than a decade of research behind MySep’s products and said engineers in oil and gas had come to regard the software as a benchmark for separator design and performance assessment.
MySep founder Guy Hellinx said customers use the company’s software both to design separators and to analyse how they perform. He presented the combination as an opportunity to pair that separation expertise with Datacor’s wider software capabilities, with the aim of providing more comprehensive engineering solutions. The report did not set out a timetable for product integration or detail changes to the individual software offerings.
